Rewrite the Stars Is Going Audio
Great news! Late last week, word came in from voice actor Julie John that she’d been chosen to narrate the audio version of Rewrite the Stars. That news literally made me jump from my chair and do a happy dance. My original vision for the book was to be as accessible to everyone as possible,…

Read MorePodcast Love
Several years ago now (I actually can’t remember when!), I met freelance journalist Carrie Vittitoe when a friend and I headed south to Kentucky to attend a writers conference. She was speaking about her experiences, and since then, we’ve kept up with each other on social media. Fast forward to 2019, and she and Amy…
Read MoreShameless Promotion II
If I don’t promote myself, who will? That’s the introductory line of my last post on promotion, and a lesson I’m still learning. Eventually I’ll have learned enough about promotion, marketing, branding, and everything else that I’ll be able to teach a course. Maybe someday . . . But today, I have a fun surprise…

Read MoreTaylor Swift-ed
Taylor Swift’s music has appealed to me in the past, and I consider her album Red pivotal in bringing Rewrite the Stars to life (I listened to the album on repeat during the writing of my first draft). While I don’t listen to much of her current work, the twins and I attended a concert of…
