[Day 11] #15DaysInMyWritingWorld Rejection Like it or not, rejection is part of the publishing process. In publishing circles, the number of rejections John Grisham and JK Rowling both received is the thing of lore. If those two icons are not immune to them, then it's no

[Day 12] #15daysinmywritingworld Celebrate! I’m a low key celebrator. Indulging in time with a good book is top of the list. Add a glass of wine and it’s extra special! Today I’m celebrating small things. I’m working through revisions for A Murder Yule Regret and it�

[Day 13] #15DaysInMyWritingWorld Characters I didn't set out to write a book. It happened because I created a character who demanded a book. 18 years ago, a friend and I started meeting on Monday nights. We had a prompt book and we would just write. One of those prompts led me

[Day 14] We have only one day left in our 15 day challenge. It's flown by! Just like writing a book, we've made it past the climax and we're wrapping everything up. Today, though, we're going to back to the middle… Back to the… Sagging Middle It is the dreaded by all

[Day 14] #15DaysInMyWritingWorld The Sagging Middle Writing a book, for me, is like taking a road trip across the country. I know I'm going to start in, say, North Carolina, and I know I want to end in Los Angeles. I have my beginning and I have my end. What I don't always

"A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic." -Carl Sagan There is a lot more to this quote by Carl Sagan, but I love this part. So many books feature magic, and I don't mean only witches and wizards. I mean dreams and wishes, faery dust and pots of gold, hopes a

Book Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Housekeeper, by Natalie Barelli I love a book that keeps me up way too late. This one did. I paid for it the next morning, but it was totally worth it. I feared, at first, that Claire was an unreliable narrator, something I'm personally tired of.

When you find the perfect inspiration for a character in the series you're writing. Hilarie Burton *is* Pippin Lane Hawthorne to me. She captures Pippin from her down-to-earth quality to her smile to her smartness. As a reader, do you like to picture an actor or actress as a ch

Finding a new "auto-buy" author for me is exciting. I get all tingly with anticipation for the next book I get to read by him or her. I read The Silent Wife, by Kerry Fisher. Then I thought I'd try The Woman I Was Before. I stayed up way too late last night reading, and just fini

This is more of the Carl Sagan quote from last week. I love thinking of books in this way. It makes me wonder (and a little scared) of the people who write really dark and twisted stuff. I'll stick with my "happy murder", thank you very much. Have you read a book that has made

A perk of writing a mystery series set on the Outer Banks is that I get to do research trips! I spent the weekend on Hatteras Island checking out the Cape Hatteras lighthouse, dining on crab cakes, and reading on the beach. Creatures, by @crissyvanmeter, was the perfect book to
