#ThrowbackThursdayBookstagram: Speak
The selection for #ThrowbackThursdayBookstagram this week is SPEAK by Laurie Halse Anderson. This book goes back to 1999 (which means it’s older than my oldest children), but if you haven’t read it yet, you should. It was a 1999 National Book Award Finalist for Young People’s Literature, an honor that is very well deserved.…
Read MoreSee Yourself Represented: An Interview with Tamika Burgess
Author Tamika Burgess is another writer I’ve never met in real life, but I certainly would love to! Her debut novel, Sincerely Sicily, is about a girl who “learns to use her voice and take pride in who she is,” something that will resonate with many readers, regardless of their age. From the time she…

Read More#ThrowbackThursdayBookstagram: Jane
I haven’t thought about today’s #ThrowbackThursdayBookstagram for a while! Today we have JANE by April Lindner. The hardcover version of the book released in 2010, and I remember picking the book up from a library book sale. I let someone borrow it, and it never came back, but hopefully JANE found another good family to…
Read MoreOne Decision Can Change Everything: An Interview with Jen Craven
Author Jen Craven works with words a lot! In addition to being a novelist, she’s a professional copywriter, so she chooses her words wisely (don’t judge me, Jen!). And those words serve her well, as evidenced by the small stack of novels she’s already produced, with plans to write more. Last year, Jen’s first contemporary…

Read MoreWriting Strong Relationships: An Interview with Helen Starbuck
Author Helen Starbuck and I would have a lot to chat about in real life. She’s a former operating room nurse, she likes cats, she writes about strong women, and her theory is, “If you don’t like life as it is, you can always write a different ending.” If those don’t align with my interests,…
Read MoreHappy Book Birthday, Breakfast with the Billionaire
The day has finally come! For a story that started way back in 2014, it’s been a long road to publication, but here we are, celebrating a release day for Breakfast with the Billionaire! So far, some of my favorite comments about the book go like this: “Hmm. That’s a pretty steamy book. This is…
Read More#ThrowbackThursdayBookstagram: Jemima J
Part of the reason I love #ThrowbackThursdayBookstagram is because I often forget which books I’ve read. This feature allows me to walk down memory lane for a little while, which is often a lot of fun. This week’s selection is JEMIMA J by Jane Green. The book was first published in 1999, and while I’m…
Read MoreOn the Occasion of What Would Have Been Her Seventy-Eighth Birthday
Dear Mom, I haven’t written a birthday letter to you before. Last year, I reflected on your birthday, and I’m glad I did. It was the last we spent with you. I didn’t know it then, of course, but with dementia (as with so many things in life), anything could happen at any time. This…
