Discretion Book Tour

by 17 Comments

With my second novel, DISCRETION, launching last week, I’ve started my book tour.  This is my favorite part of being an author.  Most of my time is spent at my kitchen table, typing away, alone.  While creating a story is satisfying, I love getting out of the house, having an excuse to put on some mascara, and talking to readers and friends.

The week kicked off with an interview by Fox-5’s Paul Wagner.  The journalist and his cameraman, Nelson Jones, stopped by my house to talk about DISCRETION.  (I spent the two days before that frantically cleaning my living room.)  Paul and Nelson were very funny and extremely nice … and even commented on how neat the house looked.  After the interview in my house, we  shot some footage in front of the Capitol and D.C. Superior Court.  All in all, it was the most glamorous thing I’ve done so far this year.  I’ll post the clip when it airs.

Then I went to NPR’s Baltimore affiliate, WYPR, and interviewed with the wonderful Sheilah Kast, host of Maryland Morning.  Sheilah is the most talented conversationalist I’ve ever met, interested, informed and warm.   It’s no wonder she’s such a successful talk-show host.  This is the second time I’ve been on her show, and I feel very honored every time.

Finally, I had a book signing at the wonderful Politics & Prose bookstore in D.C. on Friday.  I met the new owner, Lissa Muscatine, who told about her plan to renovate the store.  It sounds like it will be beautiful.  And the events coordinator, Sarah Baline, threw a great party.  The place was packed, with a standing-room-only crowd, and we sold out of books!   I had a great time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next stop:  A book signing tonight, at the Baltimore Barnes & Noble (Inner Harbor) at 7:00 pm.  If you’re in town, stop by!

  5. I almost lost my life after falling victim to a scam that went on for weeks, I got contacted by a lady pretending to be a Forex trader, she told me that I’ll make huge profits if I invest on her platform not knowing that I was being targeted, I started making investments through bitcoins until it was time to withdraw and they insisted I had to pay 20% to withdraw my money and it was then I knew I was being swindled. Unfortunately, I had already put $90,000 into this investment scam. While I was wallowing in depression, I came across an article about Mr. JAMEMESMCKAYWIZARD. Whom i contacted that helped me recover my money, I didn’t hesitate to give him the neccesary details he took some information from me and to my surprise, all my money was recovered within 48 hours. I’m truly grateful to him and his team for their professionalism in helping me recover my money. If you have lost money to any of these scams, I’ll recommend them to you.

  7. Personal growth is important for achieving success in life. All these words were shared with me by Lord Meduza, who performed a spell reading for me and created a lottery spell that turned me into a lottery champion of $112 million here in Arizona. Within 48 hours of adhering to all of Lord Meduza’s divine instructions, he granted me the chance to use the divine lottery numbers to enter the lottery after I bought my ticket in Tempe. A week later, I was informed that I had become the fortunate Jackpot winner of the game, and this was all made possible by Lord Meduza. Kindly express my gratitude to him for his impactful words and actions. For a transformative opportunity, contact him via

  9. I was so lucky to win the $1 million prize in the lottery. I have been playing the powerball lottery for about 20 years, and i didn’t win any big amount until Dr. Lucas helped me with his spiritual winning numbers, I thought it was all fake until he gave me the numbers and directed me on how to play. He gave me assurance that I was going to win and asked me to give him 48 hours to finish his work, which I did. The third day, he gave me the numbers and gave me instructions on how to play, and luckily, I won. I want to let everyone who is reading this to know that this spell really works and you can also be a winner if you give it a try to see for yourself. The moment you contact Dr Lucas for help is the end of suffering in your life, he has been helping people around the world and I’m happy that I’m among those who has benefited from his great work he’s doing, you can reach him if you really want to win the lottery Email: Drlucasspelltemple@gmail.com Or WhatsApp +234 904 794 3567 Thank You

    I thought I was careful with my cryptocurrency, but a sophisticated phishing scam nearly cost me everything.

The email looked identical to their usual communications, complete with logos and familiar wording.

The next day, my stomach dropped as I realized my wallet, which contained $150,000 in Bitcoin, had been completely drained. I was horrified.

The betrayal felt overwhelming, not just from the scammers but also from the online world I had trusted so much. It was like waking up from a nightmare only to find it had become my reality. In a panic, I began searching for help online, scouring forums and social media for advice.
