A Letter to My Graduate…

Graphic that reads

My oldest daughter graduated high school last night, and that got me thinking about hopes and dreams, milestones and change.

JK Writes

When I first knew that I was pregnant, I hoped for a healthy baby, the wisdom to raise her right, and a warm and safe and caring world in which she could grow up, full of friends and family, wonder and love.

She was born just one month after 9/11, when it felt as though there was a shadow over the world. Her generation knows a lot of shadows, and as I write this, it’s clear that she is growing up in a society that still doesn’t value all its members.

The thing about growing up is that it never stops until you are dead. Learning and growing and changing doesn’t stop with high school or even college. That’s when it really begins.

ICYMI, I talk about A Letter to My Graduate in my most recent column over at Frolic!  Head on over and check it out!

JK Recommends… June 5th! Recommendations for all the book lovers…

As most of you know, I don’t post a lot on social media, and rarely post much in conjunction with this weekly feature (which, by the way, is put together in large part by my awesome assistant Melissa). But we all know what’s going on in the world and in the US, and I hope that soon we will be living in a world with equal justice, resources, and opportunities for everybody, no matter what the color of their skin.

It is a very small thing, but with that in mind, Melissa and I wanted to bring to your attention these awesome new releases by authors of color. We hope that you support the authors and enjoy the books!

This devilishly awesome deal is going away FOR GOOD soon!

Have you met Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom Kate Connor?

If not, now is the time!  I have a FIVE book box set of the series that is currently on sale for just $4.99.  This box set is going away PERMANENTLY soon, so grab your copy now! And tell your friends!

“Ninety-nine percent of the wives and moms in the country will identify with this heroine. I mean, like who hasn’t had to battle demons between car pools and play dates?” Jayne Ann Krentz, New York Times bestselling author

“Julie Kenner’s Demon Hunting Soccer Mom is one of the high water marks in urban fantasy. Kicking evil’s ass is just another thing on Kate Connor’s to-do list, but she’ll manage it with wit and wisdom, and then drive home in her minivan. This series may be more fun than we deserve!” —Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of ARARAT and RED HANDS

Kate Connor is your average, everyday mom with two kids, a husband, and one very big secret … she used to be a Demon Hunter. Now retired, she’s more interested in the domestic than the demonic. So when she catches sight of a demon in Wal-Mart, she tells herself it’s some other Hunter’s problem. But when that demon attacks her in her kitchen, retirement is no longer an option… BUY ON AMAZON BUY ON APPLE BOOKSBUY FOR NOOKBUY FROM KOBOBUY FROM GOOGLE PLAY

“[S]hows you what would happen if Buffy got married and kept her past a secret. It’s a hoot.”—Charlaine Harris, New York Times bestselling author

Friend Spouses…

Graphic that reads

I don’t know about you guys, but I miss my family. Not the family that is currently crowded into my (thankfully reasonably large) house.

No, I’m talking about the extended family. Friends from high school and film school and law school. The writer and reader friends from over the last twenty years of this awesome career. (Taking a moment here to once again be amazed that I am blessed to make a living by sharing the people who live in my head.) All the awesome folks I’m not seeing in person this year because my travel scheduled has been reduced to nada, unless you count virtual hanging out, which (in case you hadn’t noticed) really isn’t the same.

Mostly, though, I miss my Friend Spouses.

What, you ask, are Friend Spouses? They are those friends who rise to the top to become the cream of the friendship bucket. The ones who know you as well (or better!) than your actual spouse or significant other.

 

ICYMI, I talk about Friend Spouses in my most recent column over at Frolic!  Head on over and check it out!
