It’s Release Day for Fiddling With Fate!

 Hooray! Fiddling With Fate is finally out into the world. I had so much fun writing this book! After moving to Nashville seven years ago, I met a songwriter named Carole and we’ve become great friends. She’s invited me along to several songwriter events in Gatlinburg, Tennessee and we just returned from a fun trip to Dollywood last weekend where we got to see several singer-songwriter shows. So much fun! I feel a little guilty that I killed off a bluegrass singer-songwriter in the book! Haha! I hope you enjoy the story!
