Serendipity…

People walk in and out of your life every day.

Every day.

And they’re meant to stay for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.

I’ve met so many amazing people in my short 11 years as a published author. other authors who inspire me, readers who amaze me, publishers who gave me a chance when I didn’t think they would.

One of the people I’ve met is a woman who inspires me with her grit, determination, business savvy and just plain smarts, and that’s Carlie Emma Ballou.

My relationship with Carlie started as a reader (her) to an author (me). We met at a book event, she liked my stories, and we forged a bookish friendship from there that has grown into a real and lasting friendship.

You’re probably wondering why I’m singing Carlie’s praises in a blog post. Well, it goes back to the fact that she’s an amazing businesswoman. Carlie, because she loves reading and authors so much, has started a PA ( Personal Assistant) business for writers.

Her company is called. Book Lady Co. and she offers a variety of PA services and a wide range of pricing for everyone from pre-published authors to more seasoned authors, like me.

If you’re an author and hate traversing the social media world, or just don’t know where to put your advertising dollars, or even if you just need some help with a book launch or an event, go ahead and give Carlie a call.

You will not be disappointed.
