The Manhattan Mishap is available at over 40,000 retailers worldwide. However, a big chunk of those are online only. Since purchasing Book Return Insurance, the number of physical stores carrying my chick-lit novel have gone up. And up! And hopefully will go up some more. So, where can you buy The Manhattan Mishap in-store?
Read MoreA lot of people dream about their big day. And it’s technically supposed to be the “best day of your life.” But what if you do it… twice? With the same groom. That’s exactly what I did. I mean, why have one wedding when you can have two? Not to be greedy or anything.
Read MoreSince my last post about my book coming to Indigo Mayfair, something even more exciting has happened. Not only is my book in-store at Indigo, it’s available at Bolen Books in Victoria at Hillside Mall too!
Read MoreComing soon: The Manhattan Mishap at Indigo Mayfair! That’s right. You heard it here first. Copies of my chick-lit novel are going to be in a physical bookstore! And in my hometown no less. I’m beyond excited.
Read MoreIt’s hot, you’re hot, my book is hot. And nothing is better in the heat than to chill out with a good book. Better yet? A fun, frivolous beach read. Considering the current state of the world, I think we could all use an escape. Which is why my chick-lit novel The Manhattan Mishap is the ideal beach read.
Read MoreWhen I first published The Manhattan Mishap, I chose to be online only. Why? At the time, we were still in lockdown. The pandemic was in full-force and the world was once again shutting down. No one was shopping in-person. So, what is book return insurance? And why is it essential to your self-published book?
Read MoreDid I say stay at home mom? I meant a slay at home mom. Obviously. Because even just surviving the day means I killed it. My twin boys, Kai and Ive, are the cutest challenge I have ever faced. So far I’ve survived 23 weeks and counting. Has it been easy? Hell no.
Read MoreAs a writer, I have no shortage of words at my disposal. Although, sometimes I do get tongue-tied and my fiancé is always quick to quip, “Aren’t you supposed to be a writer?” Yes! Thank you very much. It’s just that a lot of my best words get left on the page. Or in my latest manuscript.
Read MoreSundays are a glorious day of the week. Dare I say, the most glorious! I love waking up knowing that there is a whole day ahead of me where I can do whatever I please, whenever I please. Read a book? Of course! Indulge in a carb-heavy brunch? Why not. Feast my eyes on a retro rom-com? Hell yes!
Read MoreThe first chick-lit book I ever read was Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. I was 11 years old and my older cousin lent it to me. Looking back, it was a teeny bit scandalous for my age. But I loved it. I brought it to Grade 6 for our post-lunch reading block and wanted to get lost in the saucy story for hours. But that’s just one of the early aughts chick-lit books that I loved.
Read MoreIf you grew up in the nineties or early aughts, chances are you’re obsessed with quizzes. Who didn’t love begging your mom to buy you copies of M Magazine, Tiger Beat, and J-14? In that same vibe, I created The Manhattan Mishap quiz! Which character are you—Liao, Chantelle, Margot, or Jessie?
Read MoreI’ll admit—I’m getting a bit ahead of myself here. No, I don’t have movie producers banging down my door. Nor do I have a contract sitting in front of me from Netflix, awaiting my signature. However, if I want to achieve my goal of having my book made into a movie, I have to manifest it, right?
Read MoreBefore I decided to pursue journalism, I studied fashion design. I knew almost from the start that I didn’t want to be a fashion designer. However, I was given a choice: go to school and get help paying for it or take another year off and make the money myself. Of course, I decided to go to school. Who wouldn’t?
Read MoreEveryone loves to boast about their wins. Myself included. Don’t you? However, you can’t win all of the time. (Contrary to what kids’ soccer teams tell you nowadays when everyone gets a participation award.) It wouldn’t be realistic for me to only brag about the good things going on. I have first-time author fails, just like any other writer out there. And whoever tells you they don’t, is lying. Trust me.
Read MoreThe end of 2021 is (almost) here. Can you believe it? How is it possible that we are soon entering the third year of the pandemic? It makes no sense to my brain, which is still trying to process how great 2019 was and then… the world essentially ended.
Read MoreMargot Moss from The Manhattan Mishap, my fierce leading lady, is a gregarious, wild woman. She knows what she wants. And she goes after it with full-throttle ferocity! She loves raw fish, fashion, and her fabulous friends. Can you relate? Of course, you might not have everything in common with her, but I’d be willing to be you two could be friends.
Read MoreDidn’t you hear? Shopping local is the hottest thing you can do this season. It’s the eternal trend. Like a little black dress or a beige trench coat. It never goes out of style. Which is why you should come to the annex hotel in Toronto on Saturday December 18th from 11-3pm for a fabulous holiday pop-up!
