12 months. 12 authors.

For the past 12 months, I have written a monthly newsletter that goes out to my subscribers. Each month, I featured an author to showcase their amazing work. Please support these wonderful women by clicking on the links below to explore their websites and purchase their books. You can always request books from your local library or favorite indy bookstore. With the holidays around the corner, I encourage you to spread the gift a literacy with a book or two from the list below. An easy and meaningful way to support an author is by telling others about their work and by leaving reviews.
