Celebrity Crush is OUT IN THE WORLD!
And named a best read for Valentine's by Us Weekly!
Well, here we are… the day finally came. My debut novel, Celebrity Crush is finally out in stores, on ebook platforms, and in audibook format for all the world to see, and it was immediately named a Best Read for Valentine’s Day by Us Weekly!
It’s a profoundly satisfying and surreal moment. I did it! Thank you all for being a part of this journey with me!
Celebrity Crush is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Indigo/Chapters/Coles in Canada, and other outlets, including The Wanderlust Book Boutique in Ft. Pierce (where I’ll be having a signing tomorrow, 2/16 from noon to 2PM) and The Blueberry Patch in Lake Placid (where I have an event scheduled for 2/27).

Early Reviews have been great!
I’m so pleased to see that readers are saying they loved it and laughed a lot. My IG notifications have been slammed with tags from Bookstagrammers leaving rave reviews. Even my male audiobook narrator, Andrew Eiden/Teddy Hamilton (yes— I got Teddy Hamilton!) was caught in the wild plugging the book during a different interview. Listen here:
And probably my favorite review ever was from author friend and fellow sci-fi girlie, S.E. Anderson (check out her books, too—Her Starstruck series is awesome):
So many interviews and podcasts!
Probably the best part of the launch for me has been doing so many podcast and radio show interviews. I thought I would be so nervous that I wouldn’t be able to be funny, but as it turned out, I was super relaxed and able to have really fun conversations! Here are a few links if you want to have a listen:
Skip to the Good Part with Cara Tanamachi and PJ Benoit: We talk about how CC came about, sci-fi in romance, what we would use our superpowers for, and some slightly inappropriate comparisons of PJ to a cinnamon roll.
LiteraryHype Woman. Geek out with Stephanie Carr and me as we talk about this book, our various fandoms, how she gave Zachary Levi a piggyback ride, and that one time I met Judd Nelson.
Literary Escapes with my writer bestie Becki Lee where we fangirl over the Chrises and give you a sneak peek into what went into the first scene in Celebrity Crush.
Wake Up to Romance with Mama Needs to Read Romance (I’m at just over the 1.5 hr mark). We talk about the fancasting in this book with audience participation. So much fun!
Upcoming Events…
