My latest article for the SCBWI is up! Check out the Seven Things I Learned After Publishing My First Book. I had to respect the word-count limit for the article. Otherwise, I would’ve written about a hundred things I learned!
You know a writer is darn good when she makes you care about something you have no interest in. I had NO interest in the rock scene of ‘70s L.A., but I wanted more and more of it while reading #daisyjonesandthesix by @tjenkinsreid 👏This book is so masterfully written, I even enjoyed the descriptions of stuff I normally dislike: loud concerts, crowded venues, rock and roll madness. So FUN!!! #amreading #booknerd
Sherwin is overjoyed to see his buddy Duke (who appears at the very end). We keep yelling “it’s a friend” so that #sherwinthedog won’t bark at the gentle giant 😄👍
#challengeaccepted with a b&w photo of yours truly in Egypt last year. We were supposed to go to Turkey, but ended up in its neighbor country (long story!). Why do I mention this? Because this photo challenge originated to show solidarity with the Turkish women who face domestic violence with little to no justice. Scroll to see more info. Thanks for the invite, @annimal_mannimal & @delishbits 💕
I had such a great chat with @lapubliclibrary a few days ago! The replay is listed on my website (link in bio). And here’s @louiethepaintedturtle posing with The Turtle Ship, photo courtesy of the lovely librarian Lauren Kratz ❤️ Can you believe Louie is 22 years old?? Check out Louie’s star qualities on his Instagram page🐢🤩
Join me and the @lapubliclibrary this Friday (July 24) at 4 PST for a fun virtual chat about The Paper Kingdom! I’m going to give tips on how you can become an author, and will also reveal my worst rejection as a writer 😱 as well as my greatest triumph 👏 Event details are on the graphic, and there are some other cool events happening throughout the week thanks to our lovely library! All are welcome, wherever you are in the world 🌎❤️
