I’m so excited to announce a promotion I’ve created to stir up excitement about my memoir coming out next month. You can go on Goodreads and enter my giveaway of TEN advanced reader copies before my April 30 pub date. Be the first on your block to have a copy of Too Much of Not Enough!! If you win, I’d love it if you’d read it and write a review. That would be fantastic! I’d love to add your quote to my website!

It feels like the arc of publication is at the beginning of what I hope to be a huge bell curve (peaking sometime in 2020!! In February I participated in Sweet Reads sharing 10 minutes of my memoir to an enthusiastic crowd of fans and readers. Last night, I was one of seven speakers at Generation Women talking about the theme: A New York Experience. The sell-out crowd of over 100 responded so favorably to each of the stories. It was a joyful atmosphere as touching, funny and relatable stories were shared. Soon the audio will be released, and I’ll post it for you.
Generation Women is the brainchild and creation of Georgia Clark (center of this group photo) who arrived in NYC ten years ago from Australia and in the last year plus has begun this intergenerational event that will soon rival The Moth in popularity.
I love speaking! I love figuring out what parts of my story will resonate with you and how to best communicate that message. When people ask me if I miss doing the eggs, I can honestly say that writing and speaking generously fill that creative space in my life.
Please enter my giveaway and check back here for the link to the audio coming soon.
Just read your first chapter and will find it hard to wait for April 30 to continue reading once I receive my pre-order! So excited for the book and for you, Jane:)
@Jeanine Thank you for your comment and your excitement. I, too, can barely wait. It seems interminable, but will be here in just about a month. Can’t wait to hear what you think…xo
Jane, I enjoyed reading your first chapter. So many things I related to. I was the “lost child” in my family too. Being in the therapist office on the day that you knew your marriage was over–you described this really well. I appreciate how real you were about that experience. I can see how far you have come from that day. I love your writing style and humor. Congratulations on writing and publishing this book. It’s a huge achievement! I look forward to taking the full journey with you after the 30th. Good luck with the launch. You are inspiring!!
@Cindy Thank you for reading! And identifying! Very helpful to know that there’s an audience out there who will related. And that you can validate my progress. Many, many thanks. xo
