Why chaste people should get uncomfortable.

Ten years ago, I crossed a modest stage in a well-lit gymnatorium at a private, Protestant school. I was one of 14 high school seniors who wore royal blue caps and gowns and breathed happy sighs of relief upon being given what meant more to us than diplomas:

[Announcement] Chastity is For Lovers is on Amazon!

photoHappy Monday! Hope you had a blessed Easter Sunday. No full blown post today, as I took the weekend off from bloggin’ to edit the book again, and to celebrate the resurrection. But I do have an announcement:

While Chastity is For Lovers launches on Dec. 8, you can reserve it now on Amazon. Few moments are so surreal (or humbling!) as stumbling upon your own book on the Internet. Click here to pre-order your copy.

And, ICYMI, if you’re in or near the Tampa Bay Area, mark your calendar for one of a couple book launch parties (where you can buy a copy and hang with me IRL). Click here for deets.

[Announcement] SAVE THE DATE (and celebrate my book’s launch with me!).

THE BOOK IS ALMOST DONE, GUYS. By the time this month ends, I’ll have tweaked Chastity is For Lovers for the second to last time. It officially launches Dec. 8 (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception!), which means I’m throwing parties that weekend (yes, parties).

That means if you’re in or near the Tampa Bay Area (or can arrange to be that weekend!), you are about to mark your calendar:

Launch Party 1 is Dec. 5, 2014 in the evening in Spring Hill, FL.

Launch Party 2 is Dec. 6, 2014 in the afternoon in Tampa, FL.

Venues and times are TBA. Stay tuned and save the date(s)! In the meantime, your prayers are appreciated as I polish the book again and pass it back to my editor. I am grateful for your encouragement and support — it’s done more for me than you know.
