When Delivered with Love, my debut novel, was released, our family was grieving the death of a family member and I didn’t celebrate like I should have. The release day came and went. I had some book signings, helped spread the word about the book through blogs, and even did a radio show, but I didn’t mark the occasion with a celebration.

After countless hours of writing, revising, and editing The Heart Stone, I decided this time around to have a party to introduce my “book baby” to the world. And guess what? You’re all invited! I know some of you don’t live in the area and it would be impossible to come. No worries. I’ll be thinking of you, my dear readers, and rejoicing that God has blessed me with such supportive and wonderful friends.

Here’s the information:

Where: Inklings Books & Things (near Sears) in the Capitola Mall, Capitola, CA

How do you celebrate when God helps you fulfill a dream?
