Call Mom
Having finished the final pass at Maggie on Thursday, I took the weekend off to play Satisfactory, an old favorite game. I had my phone on silent while playing. I walked away to get some evening decaff and when I came back, I saw Kid 2 called. I checked the family group chat. Kid 2

Kid 2’s Cardigan
I made a simple shrug for Kid 1 before Christmas, and when Kid 2 saw it, the first thing she said was, “Where is mine?” Here is hers. I wanted a kind of rustic look, because of the yarn colors. A slightly modern take on patchwork. The pattern is available free on Ravelry and here,

It Runs In the Family
We’ve received many requests and questions about Kid 2’s work and what is it about and when can it be available. Once in a while, there will be a successful writer who will come out with “My child wrote a book!” and they will use their platform to promote their child’s book. Full power to

A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats
By now some of you have probably heard about the Cait Corrain controversy. To summarize the facts: Cait Corrain was a debut romantasy author. Was being an operative term here. Cait Corrain seems to have dealt with her pre-release anxiety by creating numerous fake accounts on Goodreads and using them to trash the books of

Present Tenses and Unhappy Endings
I wonder about how more and more books are being written in the present tense. I have a hard time getting into something written that way. Past tense is where it’s at for me and I’m so glad you write that way. Maybe I’m just getting old, but what’s up with that? I’m not sure

Magic Bleeds and Bloopers
GA Magic Bleeds is out on Audible today (and all other retailers). For those who don’t know what GA does, they turns books into audio plays – each character is voiced by a different actor and there are sound effects. It is my favorite way to listen to audiobooks now. I am addicted. Highly recommend.
