Release: Joy (paperback)

Joy (A Lancaster Story: Book Two) is now available in paperback for the first time since its initial 2017 release! Included as an exclusive bonus to the paperback is the short story, Kneading You (A Lancaster Story: Book One) which makes the entire series now readily available in both ebook and paperback format.

Joy can be purchased in paperback at Amazon and is in queue for immediate distribution to Barnes & Noble as well.

Blurb: Down on his luck is Gideon Joy’s default state. He doesn’t know why he expected a different outcome on his cross-country trip, but unsurprisingly, the hits keep coming—literally this time. Gideon strikes a moose with his car in New Hampshire, not only totaling his own vehicle, but damaging one belonging to local construction worker, Silas Bright. He has no choice but to stay in Lancaster and take on a job that’ll pay for the repairs. And in a town so small, Gideon’s constantly running into Silas. What starts as annoyance between them soon blooms into something much more intimate. But when Gideon’s notorious bad luck rears its head yet again, how many disastrous dates will Silas be willing to weather before realizing Gideon’s not worth the effort?

The quaint community has accepted Gideon as one of their own, but past fears of inadequacy threaten the very joy he left Los Angeles to discover. If he’s to find a happily ever after with Silas, Gideon must learn to accept that sometimes it’s okay to not be the best. And true happiness might be an everyday life in a small town.

Entirely revised and freshly edited 2nd edition.

Also included, exclusive to the paperback edition: Kneading You (A Lancaster Story: Book One)

Reads: March, 2024

I was all over the place with research books in March, so unfortunately I only had time to write one review. That being said, it's a fantastic read!

18 Tiny Deaths: The Untold Story of Frances Glessner Lee and the Invention of Modern Forensics by Bruce Goldfarb

My reviews are always posted at both Goodreads and BookBub—please give a follow!

Movies: March, 2024

I'm starting a new monthly roundup! Along with my book reviews, I'll now be sharing movie reviews posted at Letterboxd—basically the Goodreads of the movie world. For those who might not know, I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honors in film production. But like so many often do after attending art school, I burned out on my interest and passion in movie making. I promised myself that 2024 would be about rediscovering that joy and watching the types of films I love—to heck with the opinions of former professors!

Art is subjective. Remember that.

So if you'd like movie recommendations, or have interest in reading breakdowns that study styles and processes, check out my March views:

The Wind Phone (2019) by Kristen Gerweck

Love Lies Bleeding (2024) by Rose Glass

The Untouchables (1987) by Brian De Palma
