Thank you!

Hello friends!
It’s often said that writing is a solitary endeavor, and while that may be true, bringing a book into the world requires the effort of dozens of people and then so many more to spread the word to get it into readers’ hands.
Especially at this time of year, I would love to individually thank every person who’s supported me, but that would probably require more time than it takes to make Emeril Lagasse’s Savory Spinach and Artichoke Bread Pudding—my favorite holiday side dish. (It contains brie, need I say more?)
So to everyone who read my books, requested them from the library, recommended them to a friend, and left ratings or wrote reviews, thank you! With so many other forms of entertainment competing for our time and attention, I can’t tell you how much it means to me. And to every podcaster who allowed me to babble about writing, thank you again!
Speaking of gratitude, Ashley Hasty, founder of Hasty Book List, put together this fun piece in which 25 authors shared what they’re thankful for and I was grateful to be included.
If you don’t already follow Ashley, check out her site for reviews, interviews, and sneak peeks of upcoming releases.
If you’re online and looking to take a break from Thanksgiving prep, I’ll be popping into the Facebook group Books Live Forever! tomorrow (Wednesday) to offer some giveaways and chat with fellow book-lovers.
I’m also thankful for booksellers like Sandra, owner of Little Boho Bookshop in Bayonne, who invited local authors to join her at the Bergen Point Fall Festival.
Anne, at The Town Book Store in Westfield, is bringing authors in to celebrate Small Business Saturday and I’m excited to meet readers, sign books, and start my holiday shopping!
If you’re looking for a bargain (and who isn’t in this economy? I’m putting a chicken on my wish list after seeing the price of eggs yesterday), The Perfect Neighborhood ebook is the Kindle Deal of the Month, priced at $1.99 through Nov. 30.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and thank you again for your support!
