Dropped Candy - Mini-Edition, 3rd Book Birthday & Review Request
The original pub-date for Confessions of a Candy Snatcher was August 15, 2023. We celebrated with a dance party on Zoom, a summer full of fun events, and an in-person launch in the fall, aka spooky season for some and candy corn season for others (read: me).
It’s been such a blast, and so much learning, being on this “side” of the published-pre-published divide. I’m humbled by the support from Candlewick and my writing community, the cheering-on from family and friends, and the occasional photo shared of CoaCS out in the wild, (please send em, I' love ‘em!)

At the zoom launch / dance party, a guest asked something like: is there anything else planned for candy-verse? (Ha! Candy-verse 🍬) Not quite, but I do have three other manuscripts that I’m actively working on. Stay tuned, and in the meantime, there’s a wee-baby indie published anthology, fresh for 2025, ready for readin’ and ALSO ready for some reviews on Goodreads and Amazon. We’d love if you could leave one!
What’s the anthology about, you ask? “Five authors from Table for Seven Press weave together short stories that explore the eternal question: “What if…?” when the promise of tickets to see a beloved band are on the horizon.”
Get ‘em while they’re hot (which is always), and thank you for your enthusiasm and support!
TTFN 👋🏾
