Sorry for the absenteeism—a book to finish and a move coming back-to-back has really eaten up my life. But I’m coming out of the piles of boxes to announce some very exciting news!

The Secret Mistress Arrangement is a finalist in the National Readers’ Choice Awards in TWO categories: Short Contemporary and Best First Book. I am beyond thrilled and very honored. (And the finalist list is so impressive, I’m just tickled to even see my name up there with the others!)
