Good news! There will be an audio book available for THE MYTH OF PERPETUAL SUMMER with the same release date as the
print and e-book versions. Blackstone Audio is going to be producing it. I’ll share more details–such as narrator and the packaging, as they become available.
Pat Conroy Book Prize
So honored to have THE FLYING CIRCUS longlisted for the Pat Conroy Book Prize in literature! 
Such an amazing list of books in all categories, many of which I’ve read, two of which are written by my fab critique partners, Wendy Wax and Karen White. What a great way to start the day.
Thank you Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance, once again!

The Flying Circus now in Paperback!
Good news for book clubs. The Flying Circus is now available in paperback (February 16, 2016).
I hope you all love the new cover as much as I do and I invite those of you who have yet to meet Mercury’s Daredevils, Henry, Cora and Gil, to take this opportunity to indulge in a lovely winter read.
The Flying Circus is a national pick for the 600 plus chapters of the Pulpwood Queens Book Club. I’m so excited to share young Henry’s journey, his heartbreak and his triumphs with you all.
In celebration I’ve added an entire page of bonus material for you to enjoy. See some of the photos that inspired the book. Get an insider view of my experiences with aviation. Watch videos of the aerial thrills of the 1920s. I will be adding more items to this page, so check back often.
Also find a great book club oriented Reading Group Guide for your use. As well as a book specific author Q&A about The Flying Circus.
Come Along with Me
Now that THE FLYING CIRCUS is on it’s way to you–arriving on shelves July 14, 2015–starting next week, watch for new posts as I take you along with me during the creative process of creating my next novel.
