Absolution

During Lent, many people look for meaningful books to read during this season of reflection, forgiveness, and spiritual renewal. Years ago, during the Lenten season, the first idea for my novel Absolution came to me while I was sitting in church.

I’ve spent the last two years wearing every hat—writer, content editor, cover designer, formatter, and publicist—to bring Absolution to life. With launch just five days away, I’m inviting you behind the scenes (and into a giveaway of five signed paperbacks!)—enter via my mailing list, Facebook, or Instagram by June 30 for a chance to win.

What if the most haunting unsolved crime of the 1980s inspired a novel of guilt, silence, and redemption? In In 1982, seven people died after taking Tylenol laced with cyanide. The killer was never caught. That mystery stayed with me for years—and ultimately inspired the story behind Absolution. This is how fiction helped me imagine the closure we never got.
