Hi Everyone, happy February! I hope winter has been treating you well!As promised a few months ago, I’d like share the cover for my romcom/momcom Claire Casey’s Had Enoughalong with a link for a pre-order sale at Barnes & Noble.

When Grief Becomes a Suitcase You Can’t Put DownYou are the kind of person who needs to find the usefulness in things. Even in things that seem to have none. Especially things you can’t dodge, things that simply come at you like the flu, or a flat tire. Obstacles, challenges, setbacks. You try to turn them around, find lessons in them. Make them useful.
