After finding an aged letter written to a Civil War ghost haunting her attic, Evvie must battle her own feelings of loss being separated from her dad. To help mend her wounds, she wants to reunite the ghost and his daughter in the afterlife. All before the house is sold and torn down. #2025Pit #MG

Whoever is responsible for the destruction of these books needs to feel the edge of the blade 🥲

Yesterday I received this awesome cup from my writing mentor Margaret South. It sure to become my butt in the chair writing cup! 🤩❤️

When the ghost of a Civil War captain begins to receive letters from his daughter still living in the past (grieving his absence), Evvie must find a way to reunite them in the afterlife before the house is sold and demolished.

Came home tonight to find my adult son (who does not live with me) blasting Christmas music 🎶🎅🏻 and decorating cut-out cookies ❤️🤩

When Evvie finds a ghost in her attic and letters from his daughter begin to appear, their story intertwines with Evvie’s who misses her own dad after the divorce. To help heal her own heart, she wants to reunite them in the afterlife before a developer tears the house down. #HoliPit #MG #Q

A quest for friendship becomes a jagged road for a sixth grader. It’s lined with bullies, two ghosts, a seer, and a lonely librarian. But this is the path she needed to take all along. Healing a heart takes time and forgiveness takes courage. #WIPPIT #MG #CON #FBW

Anyone else plan on watching The Nightmare Before Christmas tonight? It’s Friday the 13th in December. Yes, please!

Had our office Christmas party yesterday. Came home with the ultimate starter pack for my short Christmas break. Blanket, fuzzy socks, hot cocoa, ceramic mug (not pictured), journal, gel pens, and chocolate candy 🤩❤️

Here’s mine. I normally put more ornaments and red bows on, but I have a dog that likes to pull them off and chew them up. 😢

Was in the small town of Yellow Springs, Ohio yesterday when I came across a bookstore. Out front they had a shelf marked free. I rescued these gems and brought them home for safekeeping!❤️🤩🥳 Christmas came a bit early this year 🎄🎅🏻📚
