#SATurday: Reviewing Novels as an Author Back in the day—way back when—Goodreads didn’t exist, and I’m pretty sure (maybe not) Amazon didn’t even have a rating system for books. It was just Barnes & Noble and Borders, but mainly Barnes & Noble for me (R.I.P. Borders). I’m talking about the mid-90s. I used to buy… Continue reading #SATurday: Reviewing Novels as an Author

#SATurday Author Goals
#SATurday Author Goals About a week ago, my publisher—Clean Teen Publishing—went to Book Expo of America (#BEA15) to share our novels with the world. Awesome, right?

I can honestly just guess—since it’s difficult to remember—but I thought it’d make for an interesting topic. The first novel I picked up was The 5th… Continue reading #WW I Avoided Certain Books.

#SATurday: The Lightning Lesson
#SATurday The Lightning Lesson When I was little, part of my bedtime routine was taking a shower at night. But—as my mother would have it—we had one very important rule. No showering if there was a thunderstorm outside. She told us we’d be electrocuted if we did. Now, being little and a future artist, you should… Continue reading #SATurday: The Lightning Lesson
