I have so many awesome announcements for you all that I don’t even know where to start! My new book, Keep Me Afloat, releases next month and there are tons of fun pre-release things happening. Here’s the skinny:

  • My publisher is giving away 100 EBOOKS on Goodreads! Follow this link to enter.

  • My first book, The Ingredients of Us, is discounted as a Kindle Monthly Deal in February! If you haven’t snatched it up, this is the time to do so. Or, if you already read it and liked it, maybe it’s time to “gift” it to a friend’s Kindle?

  • I’m giving away an awesome goodie basket on Instagram! Winner gets a PERSONALIZED SIGNED COPY of Keep Me Afloat; a pretty nautical-themed scarf; an ocean-themed bookmark from Book Tickets by AM; a special bag of Port Townsend Blend coffee from local roaster, Sunrise Coffee; plus some fun book swag from moi, including one of my popular “Do Not Disturb, I’m Reading” door hangers. Enter to win on Instagram. Giveaway closes Sunday, Feb 23.

  • I’m going on a book tour! I’ll be visiting a whole host of wonderful independent bookstores across Western Washington. Check out my tour schedule on my website or RSVP to an event on Facebook.

Phew. That’s a lot of fun stuff to get excited about.

On a personal note, I’m looking forward to my annual Valentine’s Day dinner with my husband. Every year for the past eight years, we’ve gone to our favorite steakhouse for a swanky Valentine’s Day dinner. I know not everyone celebrates Valentine’s Day, but we love the opportunity to indulge and celebrate our love a little extra. Whether or not you celebrate Valentine‘s Day in the traditional sense, I hope you have a lovely day celebrating all the wonderful variations of love in your life: spouses, parents, children, friends, pets, or someone else—because love is a wonderful thing.

P.S. Have you read about the many types of love? Take a lesson from the ancient Greeks and read this article explaining love in all forms.
