During my

Writing, a pot of fresh coffee, and a red velvet cupcake. I'm giving the first three chapters (and synopsis) of my MG sequel one more read through before sending to my agent. Famous last words.

Once upon a time, an agent recommended watching soap operas for emotive research - and it was good advice. Therefore I'll heed your advice as well and add some romance books to my TBR pile. Any suggestions?

My agent posed this question-I'm paraphrasing here-In Europe it's common to take 2 months off in the summer. Could you take 2 months off from writing? Let me tell you-I didn't get to write yesterday or today (fam commitments) & I'm a basket case. Writing is essential to my sanity

When 22-yr-old necromancer, Aven Ivy, botches her sister’s resurrection, she joins a secret society at her med school to gain the power to fix her. Little did she know her fate would be tied to a known necromancer enemy. 💀

Yes, yes, yes. One of my all time favorites. And am totally trying them with pineapple. Win win!
Fresh jalapenos from my garden=jalapeno poppers. Some are garden cream cheese with pineapple chunks; others are palmetto (FL) cream cheese jalapeno. Wrapped in bacon. Ready for the oven.

- this is a fabulous idea! Instead of frowny faces (query tracker... why???) each pass becomes a thing of beauty. I love this. Love.
My second querying canvas. I added another butterfly for a full request that didn’t lead to an offer, a few more pass flowers, and my indie publisher ✨offer✨ origami rat.
Wish I had more updates for you but alas I do not.
