I'm leaving, on a jet plane!
Just as the song says, today I'm leaving NYC on a jet plane headed home (cue sad music).
I must say that this week has been an amazing, uplifting experience that I am so very thankful I had the opportunity to enjoy (thanks to my wonderful publisher!!). I met tons of great people while at BEA, saw some amazing things while in NYC (Ground Zero was breathtaking, truly. And you guys, go see Newsies--it's awesome!), and got tons of inspiration for current and future WIPs!!
But I'm also super e...

It's official: I'm in NYC!
Yes you read that title correctly--I am in New York!! I actually flew in yesterday afternoon and I couldn't be more excited! Not only has visiting the world's most famous city been a dream of mine, but so has attending BEA--the world's most famous book event!
For the past several months, my friends and family and a few online pals have been asking me what I'm most excited about seeing while in The Big Apple. And without hesitation, I answer "Um, BEA, duh!" Are you kidding? A gigantic conventi...

You got questions? Ask away!
My friend DJ DeSmyter posted on his blog today asking for questions to be answered in a "live" vlog while we are at BEA next week. And since I'll be joining him in that vlog (my first one!), I thought I would "steal" his idea (thanks, DJ!) and post it here, in case any of my lovely followers might have questions about the publishing world or writing or whatever else they'd like answered!
The vlog will be Wednesday June 6th from 4-5pm at the Pendrell Publishing Booth 2054, and you'll have...

Monday Must Reads...WHAT I DIDN'T SAY by Keary Taylor!
Not familiar with this little feature? It's simple, really. Monday Must Reads! is a feature I created to showcase books that I think you, well, Must Read (ha!).
This week's selection is a good one. It's by an author that has massive talent (read: EDEN!) and who is one of the nicest people I've "met" on this journey of words. Her latest release is a new one for her, a contemporary written from a guy's POV...and it's a winner! Trust me when I say that you simply Must Read...

product description from goodreads.com
Getting drunk homecoming night your senior year is never a good idea, but Jake Hayes never expected it all to end with a car crash and a t-post embedded in his throat.
His biggest regret about it all? What he never said to Samantha Shay. He's been in love with her for years and never had the guts to tell her. Now it's too late. Because after that night, Jake will never be able to talk again.
When Jake retur...
