Writing really can pay off in so many ways.

Happy to. It comes out in February and she and her publisher have so many cool promotional things planned I am simply blown away. Unfortunately I don't think Alaska is on her book tour :mad: She does indeed write thrillers.

We are just in the process of finalizing the cover, once that is done I will be happy to shoot info to people who are interested.

Also pleased to now be able to say that her Kirkus review will be starred as well.

My wife sold her first book to a large German publisher yesterday and also got to see her final cover for the US hardcover edition for the first time.

Writing may be a burden and hard work, but it is hard to find the words to describe just how much fun it is when things work out well for you...

Okay, I confess I cannot stop bragging about my wonderful wife.

Over the holidays her first novel was included on four "must read" or most anticipated for her genre in 2017 lists, and they are four significant lists.

Keep writing folks, the personal payoff can be awesome.

Getting some nice national coverage in the US in print and on line.
