Thankful…Even in 2020
This is the time of year where many people share things they are thankful for. My church is putting together a compilation of videos from congregants sharing their gratitude for things from the year 2020. The year 2020. This is going to be a difficult one to find much gratitude for. Or maybe that’s a… Continue reading Thankful…Even in 2020

Street Team – Beth Wants YOU!
A street team (aka a launch team) can be critical to a book's success. They're the ones who spread word about books they love, be it through social media, Goodreads/Bookbub reviews, talking in person to their friends and family, etc. I'm looking to expand the street team for my fantasy novels. There are perks: Free… Continue reading Street Team – Beth Wants YOU!
Halloween 2020
A day early but… HAPPY HALLOWEEN! This year, I’ll be staying indoors, porch light off. No passing out candy in this heck-scape that is 2020 (not for me, at least.) Instead, I’ll probably be eating candy and preparing for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo.) It comes but once a year…unless you do Camp NaNo, in… Continue reading Halloween 2020

Enola Holmes: A Short Review
Not fantasy-related in any way, but you should really give Enola Holmes a try. Not just the movie on Netflix (though the 2+ hour movie IS cute and fun and I really recommend it) but the middle grade book series by Nancy Springer. The book follows Enola Holmes, the much-younger sister to Sherlock and Mycroft… Continue reading Enola Holmes: A Short Review
Book Three is Long…for Me
The Hobbit is 95,356 words long. Book 3 is currently just over 94,000 words, and there is still a bit of plot left. With my publisher, I can go up to 120,000 words. In the words of Remy Zero: SOMEBODY SAAAAAAVVVVVVE MEEEEEE! As of the writing of this post, I am going back and reading… Continue reading Book Three is Long…for Me

The other week, I attended a free verse workshop via Zoom led by my librarian friend Victoria. For the penultimate exercise, Victoria showed us a picture of a bicycle standing before a sunlit field, shadows spilling into the foreground. We were supposed to write ten lines about it. Here's what I came up with: She… Continue reading Random Free Verse Poetry
