Beautiful day for reading outside.

On Friday, I was honored to have an author table at the Pennsylvania School Librarians Association Conference in Erie. I met a lot of school librarians passionate about their students. Many were interested and wanted to check out my books to see if they would be a good fit for their students.

I'm so happy to announce that my new Gems novel has been released! You can pick up the eBook or paperback online. Universal link is in the comments. You should be able to order it from your favorite independent bookstore as well. books2read.com/u/3kVErO

It’s a nice change of pace to go to Starbucks and just read instead of write.

Done with the main draft of TOMORROW ALMOST DIES, the eighth book in the Gems series. More retouches and a quick pass before it goes to my beta reader for story analysis and feedback.

Yikes!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!

Forgot to post my word count from last week. 4800 words written on the current WIP.

Wow, it’s like the WM recycling guys came by and just shot the poor thing.

RIP old blue.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Americans!

What the hell. I’m turning my lights on early. For the holidays, how do you decorate the outside of your house?
