Welcome to My Book Birthday Celebration!

This month, I’m having a book birthday celebration as my second book, A Slight Change of Plans releases on May 27, 2025. This is book 2 in my Best-laid Plans series. 

I’m excited to share Jenny and Ren’s story with everyone. Out of the five teachers coming west, Jenny is the most insecure. She didn’t have a lot of love and affection growing up and hoped this new start would change all that. But the book starts with her school shutting down and she has no other options, so she heads to Washton, where Olivia is (the heroine in book 1, When Plans Go Awry).

You’ll meet Ren, and see familiar characters from book one including the rooster, Bert.

I’ve been busy putting together tidbits and information related to this story to share with everyone on my website, blog, and social media. Sign up for my newsletter to follow along.

Book Launch Activities

This time around I’m doing a blog tour through JustReadTours June 9-13

I’ve also created some of my own graphics to share 

My son added on to the original map of Washton to show the parts mentioned in the story. This rests in the front of the book matter (and hopefully soon on my website)

My husband had designed the journal notebook for the first book, and so I asked him to do something for this one as well. This is what he came up with.

Other Book Launch Things

I recently was interviewed on Awesomegang.com, and have new listings of A Slight Change of Plans on all major platforms.

As most of you know, it’s a lot of work to organize a book launch, yet so rewarding after spending so much time writing, editing, and marketing this story. And I get to do it again in six months when the prequel releases in November.

Earlier this year, I wrote a blog post sharing which books inspire my writing. I also pick a word every year to focus on. This year it is Flourish.

Thanks for following along in this journey with me!
