“It’s a winning combination.” – The New York Times
“the more relaxed vibe of “Vinyl Resting Place” is bolstered by the sister’s genuine bond, colorful personalities, and not-so-gentle conflicts. It’s a winning combination.” – The New York Times Book Review, December 18, 2022.

Vinyl Resting Place will be here next week!
So much goes into publishing a book, and I couldn’t do it without my enthusiastic agent, my eagle-eyed editor, my spectacular marketing and publicity team, and that’s just the beginning. Vinyl Resting Place wouldn’t exist without early reviewers, book binders, shippers, booksellers, and of course – YOU! – the reader. In just one more week, Vinyl Resting Place will be out in the world – on bookshelves, in bookstores, in libraries, and hopefully, in your home!
Can we all take a minute to appreciate the absolutely groovy audiobook cover for Vinyl Resting Place? Also, I got to hear a sample of it and I’m absolutely in love with Nicol Zanzarella’s narration!
The audio version isn’t up on all of the sales sites yet, but it is feeding out and should be ready and available by December 27th! As of a second ago, it was already available on (Audiobooks.com, BAM Audio Book, Barnes & Noble Audio Book, Kobo Audio Book, Libro.fm Audio Book) and more are coming!
