Jenifer Goldin makes a name for herself...plus a book giveaway

Introduction by Melissa Amster

I'm pleased to introduce Jenifer Goldin today. We connected over Instagram  and her debut novel, Anonymous Mom Posts, sounds like so much fun that I was excited to feature it at CLC. The synopsis gives off a Desperate Housewives vibe. When Jenifer sent me her bio, I was floored as we have a common thread, since she has worked with kids who have cochlear implants and those are relevant to my family. What are the odds?!? She also told me that her daughter recently had her Bat Mitzvah and my daughter is having hers pretty soon. I enjoyed learning more about Jenifer and I know you will too. She has one copy of Anonymous Mom Posts to share with a lucky reader!

Jenifer Goldin, a Miami native, graduated from the University of Florida and Gallaudet University. An audiologist by trade, Goldin specialized in pediatric cochlear implants. However, writing has always been her passion. Some of Goldin’s stories reveal her truest emotions, and sometimes her emotions are just the jumping-off point for a fictional tale. Her favorite books always go beyond storytelling and shine a light on the human experience. Goldin now resides in Atlanta with her husband and two children. Her debut novel, Anonymous Mom Posts, launched on April 1, 2023.

Synopsis:
Will anonymous social media posts expose the secrets of a picture-perfect community?

Laura Perry is fed up with the snarky attitudes of the moms who post on the Hamilton Beach Moms' social media page. She hopes the new anonymous posting feature will remind this community they are here to support each other. She enlists her friend, Gabriella, to be a co-moderator. While Gabriella is intrigued by the page, she wonders if the virtual interactions are doing more harm than good. She and Laura hatch a plan to organize an in-person fundraising event, hoping to help the moms connect in real life.

But, as the moms start to reveal their secrets anonymously, irreverent comments pour in, and the page ignites with controversy. With the in-person event approaching, will one mom's plan for revenge bring the entire community to the brink? (Courtesy of Amazon.)

In one sentence, what was the road to publishing like for you? 
It pushed me to get out of my comfort zone, be brave, and take chances. 

How is Laura similar to or different from you?
