I somehow just realized it was March. Listen, I know we’re 12 days in, but I’ve been living in LA via Lady Midnight and I’m pretty sure it’s winter in the current book I’m writing. This confuses me. What I’m Writing: As many of you know, I’m writing book two of The Tomo Trilogy, even… Continue reading #SATurdate: Lady Midnight, House of Cards, & Coffee Grinds

#MondayBlogs Where My Girls At?
Intro: Shannon, here, but only for a bit. Today, I have a wonderful guest blogger with an equally as wonderful guest post. Kendra L. Saunders is a time-and-space traveling fashionista author. Even better? She’s broadening the horizon for female characters by featuring a protagonist in her late 20’s, a very underrepresented group in fiction, and… Continue reading #MondayBlogs Where My Girls At?
#SATurdate: The 5th Wave, The Siren, Radio Interview, & Peanut Butter Cookies.
Today's Saturdate post covers two weeks, so it's going to be longer than usual. That being said, it was an exciting two weeks!

#SATurdate: Star Wars, Novel Aesthetics, Antlers, and Florence
First things first, I hope everyone had a great holiday! This girl celebrated with Christmas candies and hours of reading. (I seriously cannot believe it’s almost 2016.)

#WW 2016 YA Reading Predictions
As the year comes to an end, readers are looking forward to new releases in 2016…and authors are nervous about all the predictions coming out. (Come on, I know I’m not the only one.)

#SATurdate: The White Rose, Man in the High Castle, Burt’s Bees, and Sweets.
As you all know, we didn’t have a SATurdate last week due to the monthly Website Wonders piece, so this one might be a bit longer than usual.

What I’m Writing: I realized I need to go over Take Me Tomorrow… Continue reading #SATurdate: The White Rose, Man in the High Castle, Burt’s Bees, and Sweets.
#MondayBlogs Cartoons Make You a Better Writer
Intro: I love cartoons, and I love comic books and manga, and I’m very open about my love for these things. That being said, cartoons and comic books and manga are often depicted as things for children…something I obviously disagree with. J There are many reasons to love cartoons, and today, author Grant Goodman gives… Continue reading #MondayBlogs Cartoons Make You a Better Writer
#SATurday: Reviewing Novels as an Author
#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
