A Cover Model Dog and a Title for the First Jamie Flint Novel

This past weekend, I was very excited to do my first reading from the first-ever Jamie Flint novel… And I realized, I really haven’t done much talking about this particular tome yet. I wanted to wait until I was closer to finishing before talking about it, though. Since I’m doing readings from the draft at […]

10 Recommended Maine Vegetarian & Veggie-Friendly Restaurants

I do believe you folks were promised a list last week. This is actually not a Best of the Best by any means — much more research will have to go into such a thing before I’m ready to make that kind of a commitment. But, in the six months that I’ve been a vegetarian […]

Jen’s Sunday Book Review: Sunday, February 29, 2016

This month’s reading list really covered the spectrum, from dog handling to heists, from YA fantasy by Daniel Pinkwater to the dark tragedy of John Connolly. On the last Sunday of each month, I’ll be doing reviews of the books I’ve read over the course of the month… And, for those on my mailing list, […]

Veggie Tuesday: Pre-Empted to Bring You This…

I’m taking a break from Veggie Tuesday this week to blog about one of my favorite subjects over at Maine Crime Writers: How to Write Animals in the Modern Mystery. Mosey on over and join me. And come back next week for your regularly scheduled Veggie fix, when Ben and I will review our Top […]

Veggie Tuesday: The Ultimate Vegetarian Vegetable Stew

Okay, so, full disclosure: This is totally Ben’srecipe (“Method, not recipe,” says B), but it’s one of my favorite things in his repertoire, so it makes sense to include it here, particularly since my lovely friend Alanna was asking for a good vegetable stew recipe last week. This one is kind of incredible. So… Here […]

Veggie Tuesday: Jen’s Energizing Green Smoothie

About six months ago, I went vegetarian — something I’ve done periodically over the course of my life from the time I was a teenager. I recognize that it’s not for everyone, and so I’m not really one of those lecture-y veggies who gets all up in arms over what other people are putting in […]

Sunday Book Reviews by Jen – January 31, 2015

I’ll admit it — I’m on a little bit of a reading binge right now. It feels great, because it’s been so long since I’ve taken the time to read for pleasure. As an editor, it’s my job to read for work eight to ten hours a day anyway, but that doesn’t mean it’s really […]

Photo Tour of Maine Wildlife Park at Maine Crime Writers

As promised, I’m at Maine Crime Writers today talking about my experiences behind the scenes on the photo tour at Maine Wildlife Park. You can find it here!

Wordless Wednesday – Maine Wildlife Park

I’ll actually write a much wordier post about this next week for Maine Crime Writers, but last ThursdayI spent the afternoon researching the first Jamie Flint novel by doing a photo tour at Maine Wildlife Park. Here are a few of the shots I got… It was kind of a phenomenal day.

The Erin Solomon Holiday Sale

Things have been very busy around here lately as I dig into the first Jamie Flint novel — which I’m kind of loving. I went to Vermont this past weekend to do research, and will have loads upon loads of things to tell you about all of that in the next few weeks. In the […]
