EXCITING NEWS!!!!!

Just signed a contract with EVERNIGHT TEEN for my YA novel, ROCK BOTTOM RISE.

My novel follows 18-year-old Link as he battles through homelessness while trying to win back the girl he ghosted in eleventh grade.

Tuesday is now becoming my favorite day because I've been getting full requests on Tuesdays for the last 3 weeks!

4 requests now. I'm feeling positive!
Recently, I started getting up before my kids to see if I'd write better in the morning, but now my 4-year-old is waking up early too. He says he can hear me typing! Lol.

It's hard to start a new project while querying. I worked so hard on my last project, writing in the 3rd person POV (a big challenge for me!), and researching what makes us tired. Now I'm diving back into dark fiction, 1st-person, because it'll keep me busy and happy while in the query trenches.

Happy 4th of July!

I love summer.
Home with my babies.
I get to READDDDD so many good books.
I get more time to write.
I would love this life 12 months a year vs 2 months a year.
Such is the life of a teacher-mom-writer!

I came up with an extraordinary idea based on my "ordinary" life. I hope this is the one.

Feeling good about my novel. This is my writing and editing process. I'm on step 5.

1) Write the 1st draft, edit grammatical mistakes as I go
2) 1st round of edits - clarity, flow, plot holes, character development

I primarily write YA fiction, focusing on mental health and family relationships. WALKING OFF PLUTO is FREE for Kindle Unlimited. Check it out! a.co/d/2hMyp4E

Updated author bio :)

Writing updates:
1) Almost done with 1st draft of my first-ever women's fiction book.
2) Need to plan sequels for 2 other finished books.
3) Still querying! Partials and fulls out! :)

One of the things I love most is reading books in the same genre I write...falling in love with the stories, the voices, and the worlds...and then getting to cheer on the incredible authors behind them!

I love butterflies more than Xs. #firstpost #writingcommunity
