Silent Orchids and Bookshelf Banter...

Hi Everyone! Thank you for stopping by :)

I was recently interviewed by the FABULOUS Kallie Ross of Bookshelf Banter to talk about my upcoming book release Silent Orchids (The Age of Alandria~ Book#1) and to introduce you to some of my characters and the world they live in.

We had a TON of fun and even brought in a special guest for a fun segment later on. Because the interview was a bit lengthy, we broke up into several installments that I will be sharing with you over the next few weeks as we count down to release day----4WEEKS!! 4 WEEKS!!!

Ahem, I'm composed now.

May 7th *whispers*... Just sayin' ;)

Anyway... we got it all on video. An interview and a blog--a vlog. An intervlog? A vlogerview? (maybe not?)

I hope you enjoyed these and there's MORE TO COME! 

The music is Silent Orchids an original soundtrack created by Steven James Wylie and Blair Masters also going to be available May 7th!!!

In the coming weeks, we'll have some fun with more excerpts from the book and perhaps even a contest... maybe ;) (yes, there will be one).

You can find Kallie at BookshelfBanter.com   and  @BookshelfBanter
