P.S. All the Difference can be added to your shelf now! Make sure to follow along on its journey to release on May 13th.

The Gift won it's second award, the Indies Today Finalist 2024! What an honor to have my book recognized again.

The Gift won Best Book Awards Women's Fiction Finalist 2024 and received a PERFECT critique/5 star review from Readers' Favorite. Please pick my jaw up from the floor. I'm so excited! Hopefully you'll be too, when you read it.

My first Goodreads giveaway is complete! I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who entered to win The Gift. I hope you get to enjoy it soon (with a glass of wine of course).

I'm thrilled that today is finally to the day you can get your hands on my 3rd novel, The Gift!

Here's a blurb from a review that featured my book:
Besides introducing problems that many of us face and characters that feel genuine, the novel features tantalizing culinary tastes, mesmerizing musical elements, and compelling glimpses into Italian culture. Such sumptuous writing will transport audiences.. A blend of flavors and textures that will entice any reader, The Gift is a modern-day midlife adventure about being brave enough to find and follow our passion.
– Jennifer Jackson, Indies Today
