I won Camp NaNoWriMo yesterday! I’ve written over 35,000 words in the month of July. My initial goal was higher, but pregnancy brain got the better of me. So I lowered my goal to something more manageable (35k words) and completed it! I feel really good about the progress I’ve made writing The Sword of the… Read More July Writing and Reading Progress
I read The Carver earlier this month and was blown away and honored by the opportunity to interview the book’s author, Jacob Devlin afterward. The Carver is Jacob’s debut novel and the first in a trilogy, set partially in the real world and partially in another where all your favorite fairytales are real. With Ivory… Read More Interview with Jacob Devlin, author of The Carver

Morgenstern’s Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure; The ‘good parts’ version, Abridged by William Goldman, is actually… Read More Book Review: The Princess Bride
Books I only read three books this month. I say ‘only’ because two of them were re-reads. So I only read one new book in April. I completed Joe Hart’s Dominion Trilogy: The Last Girl, The Final Trade, and his newest release, The First City. I’m not going to lie, rereading books within a three year time… Read More April Recap

I only plan to mention one of them by name in… Read More What Reading can Teach you about Writing
