Another episode in The Life of an Independent Author:

Today, I had an appointment with a personal shopper at Nordstrom, to help me find my mother-of-the-groom dress. As she was showing me the dresses she picked out for me to try on, she said, “So, you’re an author, right?”

“Yes, I am,” I said.

I “blurbed” this holiday murder mystery for fellow Atmosphere Press author Phyllis Picasso. Unwrapped is an engaging, twisty story, set in a shopping mall at Christmas. What a great stocking stuffer! Look for it on Amazon.

It’s a long review (check it out here: www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...) but I’ll share my favorite part:

“I can't believe I'm only the eighth review for this book. This deserves so much more praise and is better than 90% of booktok books.”

Mark your calendar! I’ll be at the Holiday Crafts Market on Saturday, November 8, selling copies of THE HOUSE ON HARDING STREET.

(Yes, I know it’s only August. Put it on your calendar now, anyway.)

If you’re looking for a good summer read, here’s what one reader says about The House on Harding Street:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A thoughtful & entertaining story of complex family dynamics. Susan kept me wanting to find out what happens next. I thoroughly enjoyed The House on Harding Street and highly recommend it.
