Bee’s book is already awesome - but it’ll also have a super awesome narrator! 🥰😍
Just an author trying to keep up with social media here, but hey!! I got my dream narrator for Robbie McNeil's Hit List! I'm thrilled to have Mara Wilson narrating and grateful to my pub team for making it happen!

It's available for pre-order wherever you get your audiobooks!

Reading “Fable for the End of the World” (alone), and “Care and Feeding of a Pet Black Hole,” “Last Chance Academy,” + “Stick Dog” with my kids while my MS is in the hands of the best CPs a writer could hope for.

Still: scary to put yourself out there, right?

Look at this cute audiobook announcement! Coming super soon!
Announcement time! I’m so thrilled to be partnering with Spotify to bring the audiobook version of Less than Perfect to your earbuds! The narrators did such an amazing job of bringing Sophie and Henry’s story to life. It’s truly a dream come true to be able to share this project with you.

Bee always has such helpful and kind posts. This one is amazing for “blurbs” and how to put yourself out there and ask for them - even if it feels scary.

Bee’s got your back, as usual 🧡

It’s still #FallofWords, maybe now more than ever as we’re getting closer to the month we all remember as THE writing month.

How are you doing? Did you get any writing done? Editing? Reading? Querying? Submission rounds? Or even sales?

Whatever you’re up to, I hope this month is treating you well.

It’s October! Already.

Will you be working on anything?

I’ll need to finish a read-through of what I worked on in September (👀), then maybe dive into more writing, all while querying.

Always keep swimming! But don’t forget to come up for air if you need to.

#FallofWords update: September is in the books!

Did you write? Edit? Read?

Will you be doing any of those in October?

I got words in. Way more than I thought I ever would again. So I’m calling this a win.

Thanks for bearing with me as I put myself out there on socials. 🧡

Side note: I grew this little citrus tree from seed. A labor of love and dedication and perseverance, just like writing. (Actually a scary accurate comparison. lol. It takes years for trees to bear fruits …)
