Cover Reveal – Bones and Lies Between Us
I had no idea back when Pennies from Burger Heaven was published in 2015 that it would take me four long years to write the sequel. Never did I dream I would fall into such a dark place after our house fire.
But you know what? I can truly say now that I’m so grateful for the lessons I’ve learned since then because I’m happier and healthier than ever before.

This is more of a personal update. Physically, I’m great. I feel better than I have in years, so that’s HUGE (my hormones were out-of-whack, which made me feel awful, sleep terribly and look like the walking dead). But, emotionally …

Dear Diary,
It’s been a while since I’ve written to you. That’s because I’ve been avoiding you, er myself … whatever.
The road to hell will be paved with my good intentions. Awhile back, okay – months ago, I told you that my manuscript for the sequel to Pennies from Burger Heaven had been sent to my developmental editor.
True.
I also mentioned my novel would be ready for publication somewhere between July – September 2018.
