I am deeply committed to helping those negatively affected by the war in Ukraine. As such, I have decided to take part in a book fair to raise funds for this purpose: The Stand For Ukraine Book Fair. All you have to do to help is shop the fair here and your money will go directly from the authors to the charity Save The Children. To read more about Save The Children's efforts in Ukraine, visit their website.

The book fair is running from now until April 30th, and features over 130 romance and women's fiction titles! Please take a minute to check it out and maybe buy a few things in support of our displaced Ukrainian friends. Every dollar helps feed and support Ukrainian families!

Hello readers! I had the honor of a guest column in The Galveston County Daily News this past Thursday, the 10th, in honor of National Women's History Month.
