It's never an easy road getting to this place. This book received a lot of rejections until I took it back and rewrote it. I'm a better writer for it and the book is a better book. Comes out Nov. 4 of this year. I hope you all like it.

on Jane Friedman site: A writer will say their book is on submission when what they mean is their tender heart is being served on a bed of hope to the publishing industry. My own novel had been on submission for nine months when I took up knitting. I’d written the book during the pandemic and had been sure it would sell quickly and be my breakout success.
