TIME AND TIDE – Happy Release Day!

TIME AND TIDE – Happy Release Day!

Happy release day to TIME AND TIDE!

This little book has gone on quite the journey!

I began writing it in 2010-2011, under the title “First Impressions”. It was intended to be the sophomore follow-up to my debut novel, but it didn’t land with my first, nor my second agent. After two more title changes and nearly a decade of dabbling with edits, a fortuitous stint on Wattpad, and the utterly unforeseen but gratifying Watty Award win, I was stunned and delighted when W by Wattpad Books reached out to inquire about the rights on the book.

Working with this publishing team has been, without a doubt, one of the most enjoyable experiences of my writing career. I cannot thank them all deeply and earnestly enough for all the hard work they’ve put into my story.

Years ago, one of closest friends called this story my “airport book”, maintaining that this would be the one that was going to be mainstream and accessible enough for the wider reading public. And it turns out she was right!

As of today, TIME AND TIDE is now available anywhere books are sold, including the Hudson Booksellers in most major American airports.

It is quite literally a dream come true.

Happy reading.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW: In Conversation with Kacey Sophia

AUTHOR INTERVIEW: In Conversation with Kacey Sophia

Kacey Sophia ((@authorkaceysophia) and I talk reviews, the inspiration behind “Time and Tide” and “Nine-Tenths”, trying to find an agent in the middle of the post-pandemic chaos that is publishing, figuring out your own marketing, and the benefits of publishing to Wattpad.

CAPTIONS ARE AUTO-GENERATED. MY PROGRAM CRASHED EVERY TIME I TRIED TO FIX A TYPO, SO I GAVE UP. SORRY FOR ANY ERRORS YOU FIND.

I didn’t realize how … CLOSE cropped the image would be. I swear I was perfectly framed in my own window.

Can you see the moments when I …
-Realize you can see my lamp reflected in my glasses?
-When I pour myself more coffee?
-When I notice that my still-drying hair is curling wonkily?

Happy New Year!I have decided that 2024 is the year of spreading my work far and wide. As an indie author, I’ve decided to simply give away a whole bunch of my backlisted novels. They had wonderful launches and reviews when they first debuted, and now I just want people to read and enjoy them. So spread the news, the following books are now available for free or for a very minimal token payment on certain platforms:As J.M.

And of course, Time and Tide will be published in November 2024 in print, ebook, and possibly audiobook.

Happy Reading!
