As the release date for DEADLY RIPPLES gallops towards us like a gazelle startled out of the bushes by a famished cheetah while we watch helplessly from the safety of our safari caravan, I have to pause for a moment to reflect on the months long hard work it takes to launch a book and all the generous people who worked tirelessly to help. The sheer number of book bloggers as well as my launch team members who have taken the time to read an ARC of DEADLY RIPPLES (and who will continue to do so past the pub date) and write reviews is mind boggling and I appreciate each and every person. Their reviews (all extraordinarily positive and fabulous!) appear on a variety of social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Goodreads, and BookBub, among others. Thank you to you all! 

And to you readers who will pick up a copy of DEADLY RIPPLES once it’s released on 9/17/24, I hope you will enjoy your visit to Charleston and post a review as well. It does not have to be long. A couple sentences as to why you liked it will do. And please know how important reviews are. They are a critical piece in the puzzle that determines whether or not a book is a success. So thank you in advance for taking the time to let other readers know they should make DEADLY RIPPLES their next read.

Below is one of those fabulous reviews—this one from Instagram Blogger @reecaspieces. Thank you! 

And that vulnerable gazelle? She dashed between two Jeeps idling in our caravan and successfully rejoined her herd. The young cheetah got spooked by the unfamiliar sight and sounds of humans shrieking at the display of nature unfolding in front of them and retreated in the direction he’d come from. 

NOTE: No animals were harmed during the writing of this blog post. In fact, no actual safari occurred. 😉
