Bienvenido a Miami!

This past weekend I had the opportunity to travel to Miami, Florida for the Readers’ Favorite Awards Ceremony. Stolen Sunshine placed as the Finalist for Urban Fiction. This was my first award for my first novel and I have to say, I’m kinda proud. If you know me, you know I’m terrible at self-promotion. Terrible at social media. Terrible at giving myself credit even though I would easily do the same for someone else. Because of all of that, I wasn’t going to go the ceremony, but my favorite person and my #1 fan convinced me to do it, and I’m so glad he did. My husband and I had the best time. We spent Saturday afternoon at the Miami Book Festival where I got to see my book on display at the Readers’ Favorite booth. It was the first time I got to see my book in the wild 😂 and it was surreal. Saturday night was the awards ceremony (pictures to come) and then we celebrated with tacos. No better way to spend the night. We had time Sunday to do some sightseeing around the city (Pitbull’s house is MASSIVE) and then finished the weekend with a steak dinner at Mastro’s Ocean Club. It was a fantastic weekend and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Big thanks to Readers’ Favorite and an even bigger thanks to my husband for always pushing me to do the things he knows I should. Love you forever babe!
