I feel extremely blessed to
be able to write and share my work but, as any writer will tell you, promotion
is the hardest part of our job. If only
there were more hours in the day. As a
reader, you can help. If you've read
some of my books and have enjoyed them, help spread the word. Join my Street Team.
The benefits of being on my
Street Team....
*Access to my private yahoo
group where you can read exclusive excerpts, take part in Q&A's, and have
access to exclusive links to private pages on my website containing character
profiles and/or photos I used for inspiration when I created the characters and
locations of a story etc.
*Be a betta reader - Read an
upcoming release months before it's official release.
*Exclusive contests –
Autographed print copies, free downloads, or Amazon Gift Certificates.
*Exclusive opportunities to
host me on a blog tour or interview.

(bookmarks, postcards & brochures etc).
What do you have to do....
Members of my Street Team

comfortable to you.
