Some rather exciting news…
I didn’t write a post last month because I’ve been saving a delicious little tidbit of news. After much ado, handwringing, and more rounds of revisions than I care to count…MY BOOK SOLD! Cue wide-eyed expression of awe.
Now that it’s officially official, I’m so thrilled to announce that my rockstar agent Jennifer Chen Tran sold THE ART OF ESCAPING to Amberjack Publishing last month. It’s slated for release in June of 2018. I can’t wait to start working with Amberjack to make the novel the be...

A first draft is like a good steak…
Happy New Year, writer-peeps! Let us all do a dance of raucous joy for two reasons.
1) The shitstorm that was 2016 is behind us.
2) I have successfully completed a first draft of my angry, political, not-so-alternate near-future novel. It’s messy as hell right now but I feel pretty confident that it doesn’t suck.
Even though working on that book was thoroughly exhausting, all I want to do is dig back into it right this second and start cleaning up issues I’ve already thought of. But I’m not...

November Silence / December Noise
I know, I know—things have been quiet here as of late. I didn’t write a November post and there are two big reasons for that.
One, I took part in the carpal-tunnel-fest known as NaNoWriMo. Thus, all writing time was devoted to NaNo-ing instead of blogging and, though I didn’t win, I made significant progress on a project and churned out three times the word count I typically do in a month. So yay.
Two, like a lot of Americans, I was reeling from the results of the 2016 presidential election....

My Fave Disney *Secrets*
I’m going to continue my listicle kick and use this post to celebrate my recent safari through the land of plucky princesses, green fairies, animatronic pirates, and excessively silly ears. Yes, I just spent ten days in the World of Diz, where my toddler shouted “Mick!” at every turn (no idea why she drops the E and Y—kids, man).
I don’t consider myself a Disney fanatic, though I’ve visited The World (and Disneyland…and Disneyland Paris) more than most. And, perhaps more so than anything els...

5 Songs I Wish My Teen Self Could Hear
Last month, I tackled five songs that defined my teenhood. Many years have passed since I was a teenager and many things about me have evolved, including my taste in music. But somewhere in the depths of my psyche, teenage me is still hanging around, all pissed off and terrified and in awe of all the awesome things the world has to offer. Plenty of songs from my teenhood have the power to bring that teenage version of me to the surface. And, once in a while, I’ll hear a song that didn’t exist...

Awesomesauce
Seriously. Words cannot even begin to express how psyched-out-of-my-freakin'-mind I am.
I'll keep you posted as all this plays out. In the meantime, if you're a writer or a book blogger and you'd like to read the manuscript and provide me with a blurb that I can submit to publishers, please message me.
Woot!
