Last month I had the joy and privilege of transporting my beta readers to Italy! I am so grateful to be surrounded by such amazing women. Whether they are a high ARC reader, have a Bachelor’s of English, or have an insatiable appetite for good books they know writing. These women pushed me out of my comfort zone by challenging me to elevate my thinking and writing. They have been with me since the awful first draft until now. I will NEVER forget the support, encouragement, and late night, “You got this,” texts that kept me going the 16 months it took me to create and edit The Lady of Kimbrough Court. They deserve all this and much more.
