The Stars in April releases worldwide - News and Updates
/My novel, The Stars in April, is based on the true story of twelve-year-old Titanic survivor Ruth Becker. Released on March 30, 2021 by IlluminateYA, the book has already garnered five-star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, as well as a Starred Review from School Library Journal. Readers of middle school age to adults are discovering Ruth’s story and sharing it in their book clubs and on social media.
One aspect of all the buzz that I’m enjoying the most is hearing from readers! If you’ve read the book, I’d love to hear what you think of it. If you haven’t read it yet, but you love historical fiction and an exciting and heartfelt story, I hope you’ll check it out!
Two quick updates:
Beginning Saturday, May 1st and running through Monday, May 10th, The Stars in April will be featured on the Florida Writers Book Expo, a virtual book extravaganza of excellent books by Florida writers! Plus, I’ll be doing an author interview there on May 4th at 8:00 pm EST, discussing the book and my writing process.

Two Titanic museums, one in Branson, Missouri and one in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, are carrying The Stars in April in their bookstores, and I have been invited to give a presentation on Ruth Becker at Pigeon Forge in August at the annual Titanic Conference, TitaniCon 21. The three-day conference will feature several speakers on all things Titanic, a tour of the museum and it’s excellent collection of artifacts from the ship, a special dinner, and more. If you love Titanic, you will love this conference!
