Happy Anniversary to LUZ!

Today is the one year anniversary of the publication of Luz! What a year it has been in so many ways. Despite the pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns, closings, and travel restrictions, Luz managed to have an incredible journey—one with a happy ending at that. Winning the Sarton Award for Contemporary Fiction was the topper! Along the way, I have made some wonderful new friends and reconnected with many old friends as well. It truly has been a very satisfying first year as a published author.

Here’s a photo journey of just a few stops along the way.

On this first anniversary, I’d like to thank everyone, family and friends, for your support, your reviews, your comments on social media, and for sharing Luz with others. I’m deeply grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
