Well, have been in the revision cave getting The Coffee Magnate’s book all sorted out! In the meantime, I have Big Stuff happening! First of all, MARRIAGE MADE ON PAPER is out in North America today!

Read the Rest »Natural Instincts
Your gut knows stuff. It knows that chocolate is awesome, and that tempeh is highly suspect. It knows that roller coasters were not intended for humans, since it climbs into your throat, both on ascent and descent. Your gut* lies to you too sometimes though. It does to me. I’m thinking of ‘gut’ in the […]
Read the Rest »What to Write?
Since I submitted Coffee Magnate to my editor on Monday I’ve been fiddling around with a few different ideas and mostly just hanging out and indulging in post-submission lethargy. Sloth was definitely the order of the week. Due to the upcoming New Voices contest I’ve been thinking a bit about picking the line you want […]
Read the Rest »In Which I Talk About the Coffee Magnate and Self-Editing
So, the Coffee Magnate has been sent to my editor for a thorough pummeling…I mean read through. After which I’m sure THERE WILL BE BLOOD!! *Cough* I mean, thoughtful revisions. I think I learn something new with every MS (because I have LOTS to learn!) and I think I learned a lot on this one, […]
Read the Rest »What the Kids Are Callin’ It
Sooo….I got this thing. I think the kids call it a ‘Tumblr.’ Not quite sure how it all works yet, but there are pictures of hero inspiration, some clothes and already a drawing with a unicorn, so if you’re inclined to that sort of thing you might want to check it out! Maisey Tumblr of […]

Read the Rest »Life and Other Dangers
It’s never safe to blog when you’re feeling emo and generally blah. I’m doing it anyway though. I’m having one of those perfect storm moments when hits in confidence come before a bad review and a hard day with kids. And I’m feeling right sorry for myself. Charming, right? Things I feel like doing today: […]
Read the Rest »Your Journey is Your Own
It’s human nature to compare. Sometimes it feels impossible not to. We look at how quickly or slowly someone else accomplished something to see if we’re on track, to see if we’re better. We look at the number of rejection letters someone else got, at the number of years it took them to sell. Then […]
