A while back (about a year and a half ago now), you might remember that my brother and I embarked on a new adventure involving the two of us co-hosting a podcast.
Well… we had like one episode, and then life happened… and months passed… and schedule did not allow for us to continue.
HOWEVER
That time is now past. And we have re-ignited the vision!
May I present, the first episode of the newly revived podcast!
Read MoreLast year, H.L. Burke opened up her superhero universe for other authors to write stories in, and I had the great privilege of getting my story Play Date accepted into that anthology.
My story revolved around a mom named Emilia trying to fit into a new town and make new friends, all while navigating the ins and outs of being married to a superhero and having children with emerging superpowers.
It was a fun story to write. I enjoyed getting to spend some time in the modern world with my writing, while also staying solidly in fantasy territory.
So when Heidi opened up a second round of submissions, I jumped at the chance to write another story in this world. It’s a bit of a sequel to my first story, but follows Emilia’s brother-in-law.
And it was accepted!
Read MoreI don’t remember exactly when we started watching Top Gear. It was somewhere between 2008 and 2011, I know that much. I also know that our dear friends, Meg and Jason, were the ones who first brought it to our attention. When they asked us if we watched the show, my first thought was, “A show about cars? Boring!”
But we like our friends rather a lot, and we knew they liked a lot of the same things as we did, and so we decided to watch an episode, if only so we could say we had given it a shot.
I did not expect to enjoy it.
I definitely never expected to fall in love.
Read More“Things that were, things that are, and some things... that have not yet come to pass.”
And that means it’s time for my annual “Looking Back/Looking Forward” post, in which we look back at last year’s dreams and look forward to continuing or new dreams for this year!
Read MoreThis is always one of my favorite blog posts of the year… even though it’s usually the toughest one to write.
How does one really “rank” favorite reads? So many of these books were my all-time favorite as I was reading them. And that’s such a wonderful feeling. Like that moment when you realize you’ve just met a kindred spirit. Or when you quote a movie and someone replies with the next line from that same movie.
That’s what reading a new favorite book is.
And that’s what each of these books was like for me.
Read MoreThis past summer I got invited onto CJ Milacci’s “Read Clean YA With CJ” podcast. We had a really fantastic discussion about the importance of family to me personally and in my writing journey and career, as well as how family themes make it into pretty much everything I write.
