Because of the importance to escape in reading during these times, I have priced all my ebooks at .99 cents. I decided that lowering my prices would make them more affordable to readers. Enjoy!

I have two ebooks for a mere .99 cents, "Until One Day" (a drama) and "Exception to the Rule" (a romantic comedy). By reducing the price, I am opening my audience to a larger number of readers.

I really enjoyed the book signing today at the Lift Bridge Book Store in Brockport, N.Y. It is always so enjoyable discussing my novels with potential customers. It was such a friendly store which had a comfortable atmosphere, making it easy for shoppers to shop in and quiet enough to chat about my characters with customers. With four book signings in the last 2 months, it is time to get back to writing and leave marketing for a later date. I hope you are enjoying our spring weather. For me, it's back to the keyboard!

Hi Readers. I am certain that you have been busy reading some fantastic novels, hopefully mine are included. I have not written on this blog in quite a while. It is extremely time consuming after a release of a novel for an author to promote it. I have been busy getting the word out to readers on my new releases. Not only are my novels available on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com but now also are starting to be available on independent book store shelves. Starting last month Simply NY located at 4363 Culver Rd. Irondequoit N.Y. decided to stock and sell all five of my published novels.

I am happy to announce that my novel, Some Other Time, is now available through Barnes and Noble. I hope that you all had a great holiday and that those still celebrating Hanukka are enjoying their holiday as well.

11/19/16
I'm aware how long I have been away from blogging. I have been busy getting my newest novel ready for release. It is now available through Amazon Kindle and also Kindle Unlimited. Within weeks it will be available in paperback. This novel is an emotionally charged drama. The people ( I call them people as when I write, the characters are real to me) in this story are a bit older than in my previous novels. They are in their 40's. I sincerely hope that you enjoy this story, with its powerful moments, daily brought me to tears while writing it. Hopefully you will curl up on a comfy chair, with a cup of tea, perhaps by a fire this fall and read it.
10/22/16
I realize that it has been a long while since I've last posted anything but, I've been busy writing. I believe that you will fall in love with each new character that I have created. I recently finished writing my fifth novel and it is in the editing stage, at the moment. Hopefully it will be up and available by December, if not earlier. Here is a sneak preview of the cover and the synopsis of the novel.
One Shocking Event, One Common Thread, Three Lives Forever Changed.
This is an emotionally charged novel that delves into the lives of three individuals whose stories are interwoven, after each goes through a life-changing event. Madison wasn’t looking forward to her only child going away to college. Being an empty nester is one thing, but doing it alone, as a single parent, was quite another. The van was packed to capacity, and the day that Madison was both proud of and dreading had arrived. Already emotional from leaving her daughter at college, Madison’s day was about to become worse, when a secret she had kept for more than 20 years, was about to reemerge, by merely opening an envelope.
Asher is a 48 year old man, intelligent and in top-notch physical condition. After a long, over-due divorce, he was resolute in his desire to feel fulfillment again. He was financially successful and to others seemed to have it all, yet, his life was missing the one key ingredient that makes living worthwhile…love. Determined to change his life around, Asher devises a plan to energize and bring meaning back to his life once again.
Bryant, a stunning specimen of a man, has a lucrative profession and a beautiful woman who he loves, by his side. His life is one to be envied. When life pulls the rug out from under him, Bryant needs to regain his bearings and take back control and adjust to the dreadful situation. Even the strongest of men, can be weakened by matters of the heart.

I have been very busy promoting my two newest novels, so I apologize for not writing often on my blog. I have recently started a new novel, so I'm guessing that will be the case frequently. I was invited to my first blog last Monday by the Coffee Time Romance and it was an interesting day. I learned a lot about blogging and am looking forward to being invited again on another blog. I don't know any writer who doesn't enjoy talking about their own novels. For writers' its like a dream lol.

Had fun yesterday morning on the Brother Wease radio talk show, 95.1 FM Rochester, N.Y. discussing my novel, Sex for Fun. What better way to start the day than with a conversation about sex and censorship regarding my novel.

I HAVE BEEN BANNED FROM A BARNES AND NOBLE COLLEGE BOOK SIGNING DUE TO THE TITLE OF MY NOVEL, SEX FOR FUN! Please consider sending an email to Barnes and Noble on my behalf at customerservice@bn.com I have a few sentences below that you can cut and paste if you don't like to write: I learned that Charlotte Symonds was banned from a tentative book signing for 4/8 at your Penn State Schuylkill location, due merely to the title of her book, SEX for FUN. She was told by the manager, Michelle Hosler, that Barnes and Noble didn’t want to promote sex among their students. Surprising in this day and age that book banning permeates college campuses.

This month's issue of Rochester Woman magazine has featured my newest novel, SEX for FUN. It was a pleasant surprise when I turned to page 56 and there it was, the cover to my novel and an excerpt. I had spoken to the editor months ago, but was not given a firm date as to which issue my excerpt would be seen in. Hopefully it will expose the novel to more potential readers.

My recently completed novel, Exception To The Rule, is currently in the editing process. I really enjoyed writing this story about a cowboy and a city girl. Opposites definitely do attract! Especially in this love story.

Our first snowfall has covered our surroundings in NY. With this colder weather comes the perfect setting for curling up with hot chocolate and a hot book. If you know of anyone looking for a steamy love story please recommend What The Heart Can Hold. And if someone is looking for a great read this holiday season please recommend my novel Until One Day. As the story is set on Christmas Eve it is the perfect book for this month or next. Or actually, anytime.

I was invited to speak on my writing style at a meeting of the Rochester Italian Women's Civic Club last night. It was an honor to meet so many wonderful women who do such worthwhile work for the community. They warmly welcomed me making my engagement even more enjoyable.

The Italian Women’s Civic Club is an organization that conducts philanthropic activities in the Greater Rochester Area. These activities focus on meeting the needs of local charities and organizations that serve children, people with special needs, and the elderly. In addition, the IWCC holds membership in the Italian Civic League, the Federation of Women's Clubs, Susan B. Anthony House, and Casa Italiana.

Ten lucky winners of The Romance Reviews Summer Contest are receiving a copy of my books. I hope that they enjoy reading them and are moved to write a review. 7/4/14 I wish everyone a healthy and safe Fourth Of July! During our celebrations, let's take a moment to remember to whom we owe our freedoms, the brave men and women who defend them. Hats off to all who serve in our military! 6/29/14 Here is a screen shot of my question for What The Heart Can Hold in today's summer contest at The Romance Review. 6/28/14 Tomorrow my book, What The Heart Can Hold, will be in The Romance Review Contest. Good luck readers! 6/20/14 On June 29th my ebook is being offered as a prize in the Romance Review giveaway contest. There are many books being offered this month during this contest. Check out the website and sign up. You never know, you might just win mine or another author's book. 6/17/14 Finally, What The Heart Can Hold is IMMEDIATELY available in paperback at https://www.createspace.com/4782777 (just click on web address or on button above) As with Until One Day, it will take three to five days to be available on Amazon.com and six to eight weeks for the title to become available in the expanded distribution channels. I can now continue working full time on my newest novel. It's a joy to be back, full throttle, with my writing. 6/16/14 I am thrilled to announce that my newest novel, Until One Day, is now available in paperback. It is IMMEDIATELY available on https://www.createspace.com/4769259 (just click on web address or on button above) and will be available on Amazon.com within three to five days. It will take six to eight weeks for the title to be available in expanded distribution channels (ie: Barnes and Noble, etc) 5/26/14 On this Memorial Day we should reflect on the lives given up by our brave military to ensure our freedoms. When I was a young girl growing up, my father would always tell me to wave if we passed a soldier in uniform. My father was proud to be an American and was proud to have served in the Navy. When the national anthem was played before a game on TV, my father had a house rule; we all stood up in my home. I was taught at a young age to respect those who serve. It wasn’t until I was older that I realized just how much our military are willing to give up so that others can live in peace. In my first book I have two Marines mentioned in my story. In my second book, Until One Day, I have a main character, Patrick, who is a veteran of WW11. We should never take for granted the freedoms we have and we should teach our children respect for those who serve. I hope by mentioning servicemen in my books that, even if just for a moment, it sparks a thought in the reader to remember those who serve and protect our Great Country. 5/13/14 It should only be a matter of weeks before both of my novels will be available in paperback. Only one more tweak to one of the covers and then they should be up and running. I can hardly wait. It will be nice for those who want to read my books, but prefer an actual book to an ebook. Will post when they are available for sale. |
