Hello and happy Monday!
I am excited about this month’s theme of play. We all need it, even when times are tense. Especially so!
Play looks different for everyone, and I hope you enjoy reconnecting with your playful self this month.
One of the main reasons I love writing is wordplay. Language is fascinating to me. Writing and reading have always stimulated me in joyful ways. Learning new languages really lights up my joy meter. Studying a language is a lot like writing.
I realized you may not know about my new novel! Her Lisbon Colors is the perfect summer read.
While writing a novel is a ton of hard work, it’s also play. It took me just over two years to write Her Lisbon Colors. The second year was much more fun than the first. I got to be more playful and creative.
I want to make sure you know you can order my sexy Lisbon novel from me!
I’m selling pre-orders exclusively ahead of the publication date of June 9th. You’ll be able to order Her Lisbon Colors anywhere after that, but really, isn’t it better to buy directly from the author!1
I’ve made a delightful bonus edition with fun, creative goodies you can get here.
Check out the amazing watercolor palette that I made for you! This is one of the goodies that goes with the special edition.
Just want the book? Pick up your copy here.

For those who like to listen, I will be working on the audiobook this summer.
Come to my Launch Party
If you’re in Colorado on June 9th, you’ll want to join us at Two Hands Paperie in Boulder for a fun launch party.
You’ll be able to get a signed copy of the book there, meet me, and chat with other bookish people like yourself. All the info is here.
Buying directly from the author means the writer earns more income. Something like $10 instead of $1.50. BIG difference!
I love the entire special edition package of My Lisbon Colors! You have done a fantastic job with the launch of this book! I'm excited to deliver the packages to my friends from Cape Cod to Boston to Western MA. It's an opportunity for us to share all the goodies and be in community reading this fabulous book. Outstanding organization and execution of the details! I appreciate how much effort it takes.
I do know about it! Just preordered it and can't wait to read it.
