And Baby Makes 6
Guess what day it is! (No, it's not hump day. This is not that commercial.) It's launch day! Another book birthday. For another book baby I adore so much! And this one is, perhaps, the most special of them all. Why? Because I didn't just write this book for entertainment or for the love of [...]
The Panel That Wasn’t
Last night was my first author "event" of the year, even though I wasn't there to sell books. I attended the Kutztown University ABA Banquet. Did you know a library science fraternity exists? I didn't. Why didn't I know this?? (Probably because I didn't major in library science when I was in college.) But friends, [...]
Punctuality is Overrated
I... ...am a dumb dumb. Every now and again, circumstances arise that remind me that I don't always make those very solid decisions I normally take pride in. Yesterday was one of those times. Older kid had an interview in Manhattan at 11 a.m. I planned for the two of us to take the bus [...]
Magic in the Real World
Sometimes sheer magic really does exist. It's not abundant and it often comes when you least expect it. This past weekend was proof. I had no idea what I was in for when I signed up with fellow author Stephanie Julian to partake in the Stars Hollow Pop-Up Fall Fest this past weekend. But I [...]
Adding to the Family
So Marit Unsanctioned comes out <checks clock> tomorrow. And I've done almost nary a thing to promote it. Is this what it's like when parents have a fifth child? Is it a bundle of excitement that you just don't talk about because there's already so much going on? It's past time to show Marit Unsanctioned [...]
The Price of Feigning Normalcy
Last week, I wrote about my amazing weekend away with friends. And it was exactly that. Amazing. But the part I neglected to mention is that pushing yourself to the max when you have a chronic illness is exhausting. And not in the “I’m really tired” sense, although there is, of course, regular fatigue to [...]
Laughter, Memories, and Aperol Spritz
This past weekend, I finally had the chance to meet with three high school friends for a getaway in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. We’ve been attempting to plan this trip since 2019 with our original date and location being October 2020 in Montreal. Suffice it to say, everyone knows what happened in 2020 and so [...]
Temper the Dark release day!
Release days are always a big occasion in this house. Mostly because I insist on it. So happy birthday to Temper the Dark!!! There will be large, decadent cookies later today. Would you like to know a secret? (There are so many in publishing...) The original title of Temper the Dark for years was Witchling. [...]
The Importance of Proper Research
Librarians, how I love thee! I spent Friday afternoon at the Hilton Harrisburg for the annual PSLA Conference. No, I'm not a Pennsylvania School Librarian, but I do know a few of them, and so I went to participate as a local author on the vending floor. What a delightful day! And back to my [...]
