Fiction that Speaks

Fiction that Speaks

You, guys. This book. Oh, my heart. First of all, let me say that I went into this book not really knowing what it was about. I knew it was about a dress shop, and Amy Green (who rec’d the book in the first place) said mentioned it was a split time story (which as of late have become some… Read More

In Review: Song of Leira

In Review: Song of Leira

Note: This review contains affiliate links. Confession time. I generally don’t read high fantasy. I preface that because I’m about to highly recommend a fantasy novel (series really), and if I do that, you know it has to be that good. Song of Leira is the third (and final) book in Gillian Bronte Adams’ Songkeeper Chronicles. It’s one of those series that… Read More

In Review: The Ambrose Deception

In Review: The Ambrose Deception

This book was too much fun. I loved following along with Melissa, Wolf, and Bondi as they tried to discover the answers to their clues. Chicago is the city on my bucket list that I just absolutely love (and my brother lived there for a couple years), and after reading this book I’m even more determined to make that trip… Read More

In Review: The Invisible Library

In Review: The Invisible Library

I grabbed Genevieve Cogman’s The Invisible Library on recommendation of a close friend (hi, Bek!) Spies, libraries, books, magical elements—this book seriously has it all. It’s a story about a society of librarians who travel to different times and realities to save books. Irene is one of these agents. She travels, with new student, Kai to retrieve a book from an… Read More

The Little Giant

The Little Giant

I remember growing up, my dad would always have Live with Regis and Kathie Lee on before leaving for work. I loved that show (mainly because he loved it, but still . . .) After Kathie Lee left, we agreed it just wasn’t the same. Well, now Kathie Lee is back—only not on television, and for your KIDS! Kathie Lee… Read More

In Review: Be Held

In Review: Be Held

For the last couple of weeks, my daughter has been listening to music on repeat at night to help her sleep. Being the “good” mother that I am, I wanted to make sure that she is listening to something soothing and relaxing—and my typical classical music wouldn’t cut it (she’s not a huge fan. Says it gives her nightmares. Go… Read More

Everything I got written (or didn’t) this week! Everything I got written (or didn’t) this week!
I know you know … I know you know …
A Saturday in the life of an author on deadline. A Saturday in the life of an author on deadline. 

10.07 AM - arrive at the coffee shop (where I actually got a parking spot AND a seat at my favorite table!) 

11.08 AM - finally get some coffee. The line was long and I kept waiting for it to get shorter.

1.56 PM - trying not to panic because there’s still so much I want to get done and the coffee shop closing in a little over an hour.

2.53 PM - closing time. Time to pack up and leave. I’m also getting hungry, so place a Chick-fil-A order.

3.26 PM - lunch acquired. 

3.48 PM - it just so happens that the Chick-fil-A shares a parking lot with a Barnes and Noble. I think some wandering must be had (and I somehow walked out without buying anything!) 

5.01 PM - home again home again. A little reading in the office before dinner.
Y’all I have my edits back for the M*rder Myster Y’all I have my edits back for the M*rder Mystery (🎉), and I still don’t know where this Neely Spencer chapter is going (you know, the one I said I was going to post last week... or was it the week before?)

Instead of promising x number of chapters this month (and the next month), I’m going to promise that I’ll post the chapters as soon as I’m finished writing them. This means, there could be 4 chapters, or there could be 1 chapter (I’m shooting for the 4 ...) The M*rder Mystery has to be my main priority right now, but I’m hoping that I’ll have time for the whimsy (Neely Spencer is the whimsy). Because we call need a little more whimsy in our lives, right? 

Sorry to disappoint anyone — I’m writing as fast as I can. Thank you so much for sticking with me! You guys are the best! And if you haven’t started reading Atlas of Neely Spencer, now is the perfect time to get caught up!
