My press release for A Rose to the Fallen was distributed today. It was sent nationwide to many different media outlets including magazines, newspapers, TV and radio stations. It was initially sent out last week to regional contacts, but today was the nationwide release. I followed up with some of them last Friday and I plan to continue this week. I really hope I get some reviews. If I do, I’ll be sure to post them on this site.

I just posted my first review for A Rose to the Fallen. I’m very grateful and humbled that Phoebe Jordan took the time to read and review my debut novel. I’ll admit that I’m shocked to know that my book is now her favorite of all time. That means a lot to me considering that she is a romance novel junkie. She’s read tons of books in the same genre as mine but after reading A Rose to the Fallen, she was finally able to say that she now has a favorite. Words can’t describe how I feel when I hear someone say that. Her review is special not only because it’s my first, but because Phoebe never read my Toby Hemingway fanfiction so my story was something brand new to her. Thanks again Phoebe! Check out the Reviews section to read my first review in its entirety.

My interview with Phoebe Jordan is posted. It’s my first interview and you can read it here. I want to say thank you to Phoebe for interviewing me. It was really fun and I enjoyed answering her questions. Stay tuned for her review for A Rose to the Fallen.

Aspiring romance novelist and book reviewer Phoebe Jordan invited me to be one of her guest bloggers on her blog Talk About My Favorite Authors. You can read it by clicking the link here. She also interviewed me and it should be posted soon. I’ll be sure to post the link here when she has it up. I’m happy to announce that she’ll be the first person to review my book A Rose to the Fallen. I’m so glad that she took an interest in my book just by visiting my website and reading the synopsis. I sent her a copy of the book and she told me how much she loves the cover and she’s really looking forward to reading. Stay tuned for my very first interview and book review. I hope Phoebe enjoys the story and the review is positive. I have my fingers crossed.

Happy new year! I hope 2009 brings good things to everyone. I’m crossing my fingers that my book is a success this year. Author House finished my press release yesterday. They will be distributing it to many different media outlets, newspapers, and magazines within 1-2 weeks. I’m so relieved. I really hope I receive some reviews. I posted the text from the actual press release on my MySpace blog if you’d like to read it.
