So far it has been direct contact (email, phone, in person) with potential customers. I hope to soon reach out with my blog, Facebook, LinkedIn and others.

I grew up in Alabama. While my novel is pure fiction, Framing Aggie Falk was written because there are so many women who are abused by someone, most often a husband or a boyfriend. It's an epidemic all over America and I hope my book will show women that there's always a way out of an abusive situation. In Aggie Falk's case, she made her escape because of something that had happened to her young daughter, afraid that if she stayed any longer, Nell might become just like her mother.

I won my first writing contest when I was eleven years old. The contest was a Birmingham News event, and I won First Place, Second Place and Honorable Mention three years running. I later won contests in college for short stories and essays. More recently I spend my time writing novels.
