My first chapter is live: Down on his luck, journalist Jack Sutherland pitches a profile on famous foodie Serendipity Brown, tasked by his editor to uncover her husband Richard's disappearance. Jack arrives at her art nouveau-style estate, Bishops Ridge farm, and is boisterously welcomed by the flame-haired chef. Serendipity settles Jack into her missing husband’s former study, fueling his investigative instincts. Over strong drinks, she invites him to her upcoming cooking demonstrations at her home. My novel: A week-long demo by a famous cook has four guests hide links to her missing husband. A romance with a visiting journnalist uncovers the truth. I'll be posting a chapter at a time on my site. (I hope I'm allowed to post this, @Faye Ellis?)

One thing I know for sure is that when Dionne Person Francis joined the 90-Day Author Academy, her goal was simple: write a book. What she didn't expect was the transformation that would happen along the way. As she wrote, she healed. As she reflected, she grew. As she found her voice, she stepped into her purpose. And when she finally gave herself permission to say what needed to be said, Righteous Hunter was born. This is why I do what I do. Books change lives—but sometimes they change the author first. Join us in toasting to Author Dionne Person Francis and her debut book, Righteous Hunter, this Friday, June 26th, at 1PM EST LIVE on Facebook. Congratulations, Dionne. Your story matters, and now the world gets to read it. #90DayAuthor #PublishedAuthor #RighteousHunter #AuthorJourney #booklaunch #QueenInTheRoom
