Guest Post: Poetry Tea-Time!
I’m guest-posting over on be, mama. be about a ritual we have in our house called Poetry Tea-Time. For those of you who are intimidated by poetry and fearful I’m about to break out some Emily Dickinson on you, breathe easy. Although at one time I thought I’d pursue poetry, and not fiction, it becameContinue reading “Guest Post: Poetry Tea-Time!”
Book Club: Wilsonville, AL
In the past I’ve posted about attending book clubs on Facebook, but it occurred to me that I should take a moment and post here, too!

Can you guess what this is, dear friends? That’s right! It’s the finished draft of the novel I’ve been working on! Longer than my first novel Trespassers, it is over 400 pages and about 90,000 words.

First Review on NetGalley!
My publisher forwarded my first review posted on NetGalley today and it is a good one! (To put it simply, NetGalley is a site publishers use to give booksellers, librarians, reviewers digital access to books.) I know not everyone will like Trespassers – I’m trying to remind myself of that all the time – becauseContinue reading “First Review on NetGalley!”
The Size of the Effort
Last month I opened a box that had just been delivered expecting a gift for my youngest who turned four. Instead, I was quite surprised to see it was a box of books. MY books, or more specifically, my Advanced Reading Copies (ARCs) which I, or a publicist, send out to reviewers. I wish IContinue reading “The Size of the Effort”
