I'll be at Books, Books, Books (my favorite event!) in Lancaster, PA on Saturday. I'd love to see you there! #romancelandia

A few small words of wisdom I’ve gathered and try to live by: “There is no sin in loving, only the lack of it.” “When you find yourself in a dark place, you get to decide whether it is a burial or a planting.” That’s it for today …

I've got an essay up over at SheWrites in their witch issue about writing magic! shewrites.com/craft-tips-f...

Next month I'll be in Lancaster for Books, Books, Books! You don't want to miss this multi-author event. www.facebook.com/groups/10066... #romancelandia

Someone doesn’t like her new senior dog food 😒 but I mean, she eats her own poop, so….

Arwen is almost 13 years old and has about as many gray hairs as me. 💕

So, I write fantasy and have been reading only fantasy for quite a while to better understand the market. But now, I’m ready for a pallet cleanser. I love historical fiction (and fiction in general) so does anyone have a suggestion for my next reading adventure? Especially if you are the author? ❤️

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted.

I am devastated and heartbroken for my neighbors who lost their daughters, and those who are still waiting for a miracle. Haven’t been able to stop crying off and on since I heard the news. I don’t always pray, but I’m praying now and ask for your prayers as well. And tell your family you love them.

A little bit of ✨news✨ I'm a finalist in the Maggie Awards! NOT READY TO MAKE NICE is the book of my heart, & I'm so stoked to see her get some love from industry professionals & stand next to other incredible books ❤️ #writingcommunity #booksky @charmstrong.bsky.social

He’s been rolling and scratching on the new kitchen rug all morning. Guess I’ll have to keep it now. I’ll keep Everest as well ❤️

I polled my writer friends and collected their advice they wish they knew when they started writing. The answers may surprise you (hint: it's not learn how to spell better). #writingcommunity #fictionwriters&authors open.substack.com/pub/kellylbe...

AT&T is wearing me down 🤬 Whoever says the govt. should be run like a business is insane.

Cathie is a fantastic agent and I’ve taken every bit of writing advice from her that I could find. She’s even offered documents on editing your manuscript that I found extremely helpful. This is worth checking out!

Another night at the Dallas Theater Center! Seats are empty because it’s intermission, but this production of “Waitress” is so much fun 💖🥧

I’m really feeling this. I thought I would have so much more writing done by now, but so far this year has been wonky with family deaths, kids, etc… and now I’m procrastinating on Bluesky 😂

It's my day to celebrate @nnlightsbookheaven.bsky.social 10th anniversary. Join me! www.nnlightsbookheaven.com/post/jennife...

I’ll be honest. It’s been really hard to write this week. I’ve barely slept. I keep reminding myself of the two wolves living inside every one of us-one of fear and hatred, the other of love and patience. The one that grows is the one you feed. But what do you do with the wolves at your door? 🇺🇦

I'm so excited my romantic fantasy is now on submission🤞 Thanks Cathie! @charmstrong.bsky.social OF SPARROWS & DRAGONS 🐉 - Strong Heroine - Secret Identities - Slow Burn Romance - Enemies To Lovers - Enchanted Realms - A Witch's Evil Prophecy - Fate vs Choice #writingcommunity #Fantasy

I just finished watching “Primary Trust” at the Dallas Theater Center, and I am wrecked!! Cried so much my shirt is wet 🙄 Sooo good and life affirming, and I really needed that today 💙 #dallastheatercenter #livetheater

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

One interesting thing about having kids is seeing your own oddities/quirks manifest in them. Realizing these aren’t flaws or things that needed to be fixed, they’re simply how I’m made. And it’s now a part of their DNA. Sorry kids, not sorry. So glad you both accept yourselves earlier than I did 💖

Reminder that this crazy crowd are doing a thing on Tuesday, so please come along. 💜

THE NERD DAILY WANTED TO TALK TO ✨ME✨ about my novel gaaaah. It means so much as a nerd writing about nerds. Rose and William would love this. thenerddaily.com/shameez-pate...
