Margaux is here!

Margaux is here—today is the day when my second novel, Margaux and the Vicious Circle officially releases. If you pre-ordered it, you should receive it today or soon. If you downloaded a free pre-lease eBook, and you’ve read it, I would appreciated it if you posted a short review on Goodreads,  Amazon, or both. It really makes a difference to us struggling indie authors to get reviews, especially if they are thoughtful.

During the month of October, I plan to celebrate the release Margaux with in-person and online book launch activities. The first scheduled event is in-person in Portland, Oregon on October 26th, from 6 to 9 pm at Threshold Brewing and Blending (403 SE 79th Ave). This event is open to the public. If you are in the Portland area, drop by and enjoy live music from the incredible Whisky Deaf Duo (Annie Staninec and John Kael). I will be on hand to talk a little about the book and to sell and sign paperback and hardcover copies. Hope to see you there!

About the book

In Margaux and the Vicious Circle—a novel within a novel—an aspiring young author,  has penned a semi-autobiographical novel that details a number of traumatic events that befell her and her family when she was a young child, including the disappearance of a friend. Although bad things happen, the narrative is less focused on trauma, and more centered on the power of imagination and magical thinking.  Margaux’s novel “is a sad story, but it’s also a story about resilience and overcoming adversity, about how we’re often afraid of the wrong things. It’s about the power of imagination and how magical thinking and magic lift us up. It’s about love.”

Margaux is here—the event

I will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the books at the launch event to CASA, a non-profit organization providing advocacy and support for children who have experienced abuse,  neglect and are in foster care.
