#SATurdate: Salt to the Sea, Death Note, The Turncoat’s Gambit, & Tallulah
What I’m Writing: Honestly, I go through phases where I dread writing. Mainly because I’m stretching myself too thin and/or trying to find my footing in my next project. I think I’m in the middle of both of those issues. I have three completed manuscripts—one of which needs editing—I want to start something new, but… Continue reading #SATurdate: Salt to the Sea, Death Note, The Turncoat’s Gambit, & Tallulah
#MondayBlogs So, You Want To Be A Book Blogger
I must clarify one thing before I start: I am not a book blogger, but I used to be—for about three years—and I still post book reviews on Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. I also help authors connect with book bloggers every day.

#WW Taking a Writing Break (And Why It’s Important)
I am taking a break from writing. (Why does that feel so dramatic to say? …Well, I don’t know. Maybe because writing is practically my life.) So what do I mean by taking a break? I mean just that.

Sure, my cats are real and that coffee was definitely mine, but not all of my posts are live (although a fair portion of them are), and the mood I describe might… Continue reading #WW The Truth Behind An Author’s Instagram

#SATurday Book Releases explained by Sailor Moon
I love blogging. I love writing articles. I especially love writing articles that readers suggest. That being said, today’s article was inspired by reader, Angela Dellisola. Her comment came on the release day of Death Before Daylight…after I made an entire batch of chocolate chip cookies to celebrate.
