Happy Monday!

I’m prepared to sound dramatic when I say I’ve been waiting for this day for a very long time….

Cabin Girl is now a published book!

It’s my pleasure to announce that you can now find Cabin Girl on Amazon as a both a paperback and an ebook.

And, if signed copies are more your thing, those are now available right here on my website (with a slightly longer wait time but two custom bookmarks)!

With that exciting news comes the start of the launch tour! From today through September 24th, there is a fantastic line-up of posts, social media tags, interviews, podcast episodes, and a giveaway – all of which I’ll be sharing here as they go up each day!

Let’s dive into the specifics!

Book Information

Sickness. Sharks. Sabotage. Secrecy.

In the rolling hills of 1600’s Ireland, young Éirinn O’Connell learns all she can of medicine, struggling to care for her starving family—until the night Barbary pirates raid her village, and she’s dragged from the only home she’s ever known.

Set on a course to the slave markets of Morocco, and amidst a crew as turbulent as the ocean around her, Éirinn searches for a way home. But who can she trust? And how will she survive the Captain’s constant torment? Éirinn soon discovers the danger in trusting appearances and learns that it’s never too late for a second chance.

Even for the unlikeliest of people.

When I first started this novel five years ago, I had no idea what was in store.

I definitely never thought I would reach this point. I dreamed about it, and wanted to work at it, yes. But I didn’t think I would honestly make it. There have been countless ups and downs.

But now, here we are.

(And this is where we do the dance of joy!)

Cabin Girl is my second published work of all time, my first full-length novel to be released, and only the first of many, many more to come, God willing!

It’s near and dear to my heart, not just because I’ve spent five years wrestling with it, but because it’s taught me so much. And now it’s brought me to this point of being ready to truly jump headfirst into my indie author journey, and – hopefully – share lots more stories with you all as time continues.

Thank you for being part of that journey! It takes a village to accomplish something like this, and I’ve had the most incredible support system getting to this point. I’m very grateful for each and every person that’s encouraged me throughout the process.

And I look forward to spending the rest of the week celebrating with you all!

Stay tuned!
