I found a few things that might help us all pass the time as we practice social distancing/quarantine during CORVID-19.
- Many authors are offering free or discounted books during this hard time. Book one in my series, Wanna Get Lucky?, is free on all ebook platforms. I'm also doing a special promotion with Barnes & Noble (NOOK) until March 31st 2020. This is a buy one book and get one free deal on books two through ten of the Lucky O'Toole Vegas Adventure Series and the novellas. Click here to check out the promotion!

Yes, indeed! Working on the next one as we speak. A bit hard to conjure funny in a not-so-funny world, but getting there! Should be out by June, I should think. Thank you so much for asking!
