Ready for liftoff

It's with great excitement (and surreal disbelief) that I can finally announce the release date for The Lighthouse: October 26, 2021.

The book will be available in all major formats - ebook, paperback, hardcover - and you can pre-order your copy right now from your favorite retailer (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, Kobo)

After nearly ten years of hard work, it's hard to believe that I'm in the final stretch. The book may be finished, but there's plenty of work yet to be done and I've got some exciting stuff planned. Swag boxes, book club kits, guest articles - expect to see a lot of promotion for The Lighthouse in the weeks ahead. To kick things off I'll be speaking to NuWriters, a podcast dedicated to showcasing debut authors, so stay tuned for their review of the book and interview with me very soon.

In preparing for release, I've also had an audiobook produced, which will be available for pre-order very soon. The audiobook was narrated by Braden Wright (visit Braden's website) and I'm absolutely thrilled with how its turned out. Braden has brought the story to life with a masterful, nuanced performance and I cannot wait for listeners to take their journey to Seabrook with him.

Aside from marketing and promotion, a very important part of the book's success will be driven by its reviews and ratings. For a debut author with no built-in audience, these are a critical factor in the book establishing itself in the marketplace and drawing in new readers. The Lighthouse is off to a fantastic start already on Goodreads, but I want to keep the momentum going, so I'm asking anyone who has read a copy of my book to please jump on Goodreads and provide their honest rating (and review if you would be so kind!). If you can spare the time and would like to show your support, this would be most appreciated.
