Just wrote the last chapter of House of Teeth, the third book in The Women of Paradise County Series. Not gonna lie. It feels really good. #writingismyjam #thankful

Loved visiting with Sean for the Stories That Empower Podcast. Listen here: tr.ee/la5GI4aQ2c

Is it just me, or is this a big deal? Feels big to me!

It's great to see that Violet is Blue is reaching readers who "get" what I'm trying to accomplish. So grateful.

What a generous read and review of Violet is Blue! #thankful #writingismyjam

Writing is a pure joy for me, but it's important to name what a solitary endeavor it is. You have to be alone to write. You leave other things undone. Doubts creep in. I wait for the universe to tell me what to do next. This lovely Goodreads review has re-energized me. #thankful #writingismyjam

Excited that my debut novel God Bless the Child was recognized by the Chanticleer International Book Awards as a Somerset for Literary & Contemporary Fiction Finalist 2024 @ChantiReviews @SVPublishing @BooksForward #writingismyjam #thankful

What does a saving look like? How does it smell and taste?

I've got so many lovely people from my hometown of Cuba, MO joining me on this great, big book adventure! Did a little event last week to promote Violet is Blue and was able to see all kinds of friends and family. Even made some new friends! #writingismyjam #hometown #thankful

It's all good. When I'm not connecting with a book, I put it down. Life is too short! Keep writing with an authentic voice, and the right readers will get what you're trying to do. #Truth

Writing The Women of Paradise County Series is just my side hustle. I do that on evenings and weekends! By day, I work @WashU. The series is included in the University's BookShelf! source.washu.edu/bookshelf/vi...

I called this photo "Anne Gabbing." Talking about writing and books with cool people is one of my favorite things! #writingismyjam

Excited to have an article published in Writer's Digest to explore writing about small town living. I'll never tire of observing how people live and love in their own little parts of the world. bit.ly/4er5S07

Thankful for positive reviews!

Happy Monday, writers! Keep writing, friends. Keep writing. #writingismyjam

Excited to partner with @kirkwoodlib.bsky.social for this event. Please join us!

I cannot wait for readers to meet some of the characters in my second novel, Violet is Blue. I've come to love them. Well, maybe not all of them. I sure do love Margaret Burns! #writingismyjam
