Breezers in the (Virtual) Neighborhood: MAY!

Even though some businesses are opening in our region, bookstores, libraries, and other businesses where our Breezers would typically share a book-signing or host a release party remain closed. So we asked you to send news of your virtual events so that we can join you online!

Every Thursday from 4:30 - 5:30 PM EST, I hold a Facebook Live event at my author page. I've been focusing on a different aspect of writing each week and taking reader questions:
