Here are some things that my writer pals might like to see in their Easter baskets this year: A book-inspired candle from FROSTBEARD STUDIO. (Le Cirque des Reves and Reading at a Cafe smell AWESOME!)

Think like a super-fan. Are you a super-fan of anything? You might be looking forward to a book release of a beloved series. Maybe the latest Tea Shop Mystery release found you sweaty-handed with anticipation. Or the next Stormlight Archives book. Or perhaps you cannot wait to get your paws on the next Lock and… Continue reading Launch Parties

Not sure that title has anything to do with what I'm blogging about today. In fact, what AM I blogging about today? *stops to ponder* I took a furry little someone to the vet. She was not happy. I had to lure Cricket into the crate with a treat; it worked--but I have a strong… Continue reading Hello, it’s me
