Living
So it's been 4 1/2 months since my last post. I want to say I'm sorry, but I'm really not. I was out doing that whole living thing. I hope YOU were, too! I've had some really amazing experiences in the last few weeks, some of which I can talk about and some of which [...]
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, [...]
Giving Back
I've talked a lot about gratitude in my posts over the years, I've noticed. Maybe because that's when I feel inclined to write. After all, it wouldn't be right to write about the times when I'm angry and frustrated and want to scream at the world. Rest assured, those times do exist. Like everyone else, [...]
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 [...]
June, September, and Everything in Between
I guess it's been a hot minute since I posted anything new on the blog. The month of May was full of trying to keep my head on straight, with senior awards night, scholarship luncheons, piano recitals, figure skating competitions, figure skating expos, sports banquets, and high school graduation. (Did I mention I got to [...]
Six Months to Launch
After all the months I've spent focused on school board obligations and the crisis our district has been facing for all of the 2023-2024 school year, I've almost forgotten what it's like to focus on other aspects of life. Like writing. Wait. Am I an author? I...I have a new book coming out later this [...]
Shouting from the Rooftops (to avoid the floods below…)
I've been meaning to write another blogpost for a while now, but whew. There's been...a lot to deal with here. As a school board member of a district with a recently flooded school in which everything was a total loss, the last month has been hectic to say the least. I am in awe of [...]
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. [...]
