Rewrite the Stars Is Going Audio

Great news! Late last week, word came in from voice actor Julie John that she’d been chosen to narrate the audio version of Rewrite the Stars. That news literally made me jump from my chair and do a happy dance. My original vision for the book was to be as accessible to everyone as possible,…

Podcast Love

Several years ago now (I actually can’t remember when!), I met freelance journalist Carrie Vittitoe when a friend and I headed south to Kentucky to attend a writers conference. She was speaking about her experiences, and since then, we’ve kept up with each other on social media. Fast forward to 2019, and she and Amy…
