THE ESCAPE GAME is getting some great buzz:
Thank you to all of you who have reviewed it already! Reviews help get the word out about new books. For those of you in the US who are looking to snag an early copy, there’s a Goodreads giveaway on now (but hurry, it ends February 26th).
Speaking of escapes, if you’re looking for an amazing European trip this fall, there are two spots left in my Trovatrip tour to Italy in October.
About This Trip
Ciao, Book Lovers! Let’s go on an adventure to Southern Italy, one of the settings that has inspired by upcoming Puss in Boots fairy tale retelling. We’ll begin our 7-day adventure in the charming coastal town of Sorrento, where we’ll enjoy some of the best food in the world. Throughout the week, we’ll take a ferry to the picturesque island of Capri, explore the iconic ruins of Pompeii, and visit calendar-worthy towns on the Amalfi Coast. On our last day together, the writers in the group are welcome to join me for a some inspired writing time together. This is sure to be an unforgettable trip for us all!
Check out the site for more info and to reserve your spot.
And if you’d like a closer-to-home escape while you’re waiting for THE ESCAPE GAME, now’s the perfect time to grab yourself a copy of the INSTANT KARMA ebook that’s on sale at all retailers for the rest of this month.
