Catholic Vitamins Interview!

Last week, I was delighted to be able to speak to Deacon Tom Fox over at Catholic Vitamins, about my recently published YA Catholic novel Erin's Ring.  Here's a link that the podcast if you're interested in listening!

My First Baby

I am so tickled that I've had a second novel published (by Bezalel Books), a work of Catholic YA fiction titled Erin's Ring. 

But don't worry, Finding Grace.  I haven't forgotten about you.  You will always be my first "baby."

Erin's Ring Giveaway Winner: and Her Name is Erin!

My Aussie friend Erin, from Seven Little Australians and Counting, won the signed copy of Erin's Ring that I was giving away over at String of Pearls.  (Read all about it here.)


Here's the Claddagh ring that my husband gave me in 1979--
not unlike the one that Molly finds in the first chapter of Erin's Ring!
So...aren't you anxious to find out what happens next?!

I've still got three more signed copies of Erin's Ring that I'm giving away over at Goodreads.  You have until midnight on December 15 to enter.  Head on over there now and throw your hat into the ring!

Erin's Ring is Out! And I'm Having a Christmas Giveaway!

When the UPS man came yesterday, it felt like Christmas!

He brought me my eagerly anticipated copies of Erin's Ring!  So I got to see what the book looks like in its finished form for the first time yesterday, and it was so much fun.

If you'd like to win your very own signed copy of this hot-off-the-press YA (and A, too) Catholic novel, just leave me a comment--here or over at String of Pearls.

I ho-ho-hope you win!

(And by the way, I just decided to run a giveaway on Goodreads:  https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/117965-erin-s-ring.  Go and sign up for a chance to win one of 3 signed copies!)

It's a Big Day Around Here!

Today is an exciting day--because I'm supposed to receive my shipment of books from Bezalel.  If everything goes as scheduled, I will be holding an actual paperback copy of my second novel, Erin's Ring, in my hands by end of day.  I can hardly wait to see how it looks "in the flesh," so to speak.  Right now, all I have is a copy of the final galley, which I printed out to see how it looked.

I can't wait to see the actual book!

I already blogged about this over at String of Pearls today, if you want to read that post.  It will explain a few things: which well-known Catholic YA author has already endorsed it, how you can get a signed copy from me, and why it's not available in Kindle format as of yet, to name three.  But head on over and read the rest!
