Anxiety Dreams of the Terminally Nerdy

I have a new friend who has a PR background. She has been helping me some with Damselfly Inn in the real world. She recently reiterated something I know, but need to hear frequently, because it doesn’t stick: The worst thing that can happen is they say no.

So, they said no. One inquiry. One no. Seriously, not the end of the world. Not the first. Certainly not the last. Marketing a book is a long,…

Fall In Love With Thornton: The Foote Farm Mansion

Fall In Love With #Thorntonvermontseries: The Foote Farm Mansion #damselflyinnbook

Welcome to Fall In Love With Thornton, a series of posts about the world of the Thornton Vermont stories and novels.
