I stare longingly out my kitchen window into my new next-door neighbor’s backyard. I can see the smoke coming from his grill, smell the delectable scent of what I can only assume is burgers as it wafts through the air, and I rub my protruding tummy absentmindedly. I’m pretty sure I’ve never been this hungry
I don’t think I’ve ever been so exhausted in my life. Hubby and I took a little trip to Dallas, TX last week for the book signing event of the year and holy cannoli was it absolutely amazing. Below is a highlight real of my favorite moments and experiences: Meeting the woman who inspired me
I think one of the most difficult things about writing is actually getting words on the page. And that isn’t because a person who considers themselves to be a writer doesn’t have anything to say. If anything, that person might have too much to say, and can’t seem to sort it out. Or maybe it’s

The past week has been incredibly up and down as I’ve begun writing my next book, Promise Me Nothing. It’s hard to explain, but I guess the best way I can describe the process of writing the first few chapters is that it is a bit like trudging through mud uphill while it’s raining. Super
Welcome to the end of March! Can anyone else believe how quickly we’ve blown through a quarter of the year? Goodness. That went by in a blink, for sure! This month I was a bit more focused on the release of my recent novel (check it out here!) but I still managed to carve out

It’s RELEASE DAY!!! I think there’s this thing that happens when you’re an author. It’s this aggressive tunnel vision as release day looms closer and it only allows you to focus on one thing.
