I have some exciting news! A couple months ago, I announced my next book, a poetry collection named Dandelion Symphony.
Today, I am proud to present you with the cover reveal and official release
date!

A couple of months ago, when I was initially looking for an
artist for sketches within the book, somebody recommended I check out Fiverr.
It turned out to be a great resource, and that’s also where I found my cover
designer!
A couple months ago, my grandparents on my dad’s side came
down to visit. My grandma has stage 4 cancer, and the doctors gave her a year
to live last summer. Not having much to do since everything was closed, she
told me stories about her childhood and her favorite jobs over the course of
her life.
Then I read her my poetry collection all the while trying to
figure out a name. I already liked dandelions, since they’re the symbol for
military brats like myself, but I couldn’t figure out what to put with it.
Until my grandma suggested something to do with a symphony. Dandelion Symphony.
It was perfect!
More recently, I had the cover commissioned. This is the
result:
… pages of this life—
these books take root
in the otherwise hardened patio of the mind.
What does it mean to be from multiple places? How does
perspective change over time? What happens when a bookworm enjoys the outdoors?
How does a situational introvert handle interaction with other people? This
collection of poems is an exploration of the life of an army brat living in
Europe. From studying abroad in England and travelling in Italy to living and
working in Germany, these poems explore settings both extraordinary and
ordinary alike.
Dandelion Symphony will be available on Friday, September
24, 2020! Soon you will be able to pre-order it on Amazon (e-book only) and
Barnes & Noble (e-book only). I will keep you posted when the print edition
is available to order. For now, you can add it on Goodreads!
I also plan on doing a mini blog tour the week it comes out,
which I’ll be posting more details on soon. Happy reading!
