Ten things I found while searching for the mean postcard from a famous priest*

1. A box of journals I chose not to open, because THAR BE WORMS, MATEY, in that thar can. Ain't got time for worms tonight. 

2. An article for a news writing class, covering campus reaction to the O.J. Simpson verdict in 1995. I included a quote in which one student called the trial "a fucking farce," because college. Glaring error: I didn't use Nicole's last name on first reference.

When Your Bookstore Purchases Potentially Cancel Out Your Sales

My novel, Trip Through Your Wires, launched in March 2015, and since then I've learned that touring a book takes stamina. Touring with kids takes double that energy. Still, it was a wonderful experience for my husband and me to introduce the boys to new places and bookstores across various states. And when I traveled alone, I felt compelled to bring a little something back.

Local Author Day, B&N Noblesville

On Sunday, Dec. 6, I'll be at Barnes & Noble Noblesville from 1-3 for Local Author Day. Happy to sign books, chat, have coffee, etc. etc.



Things I will NOT be doing, but may have done lately:



-Listen to a child in a car scream-chant "I want a drink of water RIGHT NOW" for a half-hour.

-Slice my thumb on a cheese grater. (Did you know shredded cheese may have wood chip filler in it?)
