It's PUB DAY!! 🎉🪽

And what a wild time it's been! Whew! Pretty sure this book has been taking ME for a ride, not the other way around. 😂

I couldn't have done it without SO many kind hands and hearts along the way...

First and foremost, to my soulmate, best friend, and chief supporter, Greg, who loves me even when I'm losing my sh*t: Thank you for showing me every day what real love looks like. There aren't words for my gratitude that you exist. 💗

To the incredible humans behind this adventure: writing coach Wendy Dale, who helped me find my voice and turn a giant pile of stories and ideas into an actual book; editor Gary Krebs, who gave my book baby her first proper haircut; Brooke Warner and She Writes Press, who made publishing a reality; Jessie Glen, Kari Olson, and the PR team at Mindbuck Media for their general awesomeness and making some noise; and Caroline Gilman, the creative magician helping me navigate this social media circus. Deep gratitude! 🙏

And to all of you out there liking my posts, spreading the word, cheering me on, and wearing sandwich boards on my behalf (you know who you are!)... THANK YOU!!! 🤩 It means A LOT!

Into the Flow: A Journey to Freedom by Trying It All is available NOW wherever books are sold! Get it while it's hot!

After 5+ years of writing and rewriting, 1 year of preparing to publish and 1 year of promoting My Pretty Baby, I am grateful and honored to win the NYC Big Book Award in the Addiction Recovery category. Grateful for @shewritespress @brooke_warner @leslie.johansen.nack and to all my friends, fellow authors and family who read and reviewed my book. @icografico and @correasunshine for unflinching support and 39 years sobriety. 🙏💙💐🤩🎉🥳

There’s more to writing than having an idea. You gotta write the first draft, then edit, get feedback, revise, polish, pitch, and hope to get paid. The business of creating isn’t for the faint.

I’m on a happiness high on the heels of the most AMAZING weekend with the most incredible fellow authors. One hundred and thirty of them, no less. ⭐️ I have so much to tell you, so where to begin?

First this: when you’re a Minnesota based author with a California-based publisher, you work together in the land of Zoom. So, when I was face-to-smiling-face 😍 (and received a huge hug) from my publisher @brooke_warner , that’s BIG JOY! 😍

And the women I met! Such talent and powerful stories! All in it together, sharing sisterhood, camaraderie, and support. We all need to remember—there’s power of being with people . . . in person. This gathering was inspiration and community at its finest. 🩵🩷🧡

And how lucky I got to enjoy it with my dear friend and fellow Minnesota based author, @kristin.nilsen.writer! Kristin and I have been in the same writing group at @modernwellco with @juliebburton and @ninabadzin for over ten years, and together, we absorbed the loveliest weekend! 🙌🩵🙌

More soon! Happy Monday, everyone!

I spent the weekend with over a hundred women writers in the desert talking about books, marketing, story structure, POV, AI, and so much more. In a world that feels impossible, things felt possible. There is magic, meaning, humor, and hope when you gather women across genres and generations. We lifted each other up, gave each other the mic, took the mic, listened, and learned. I came home with new friends and my head spinning with ideas. I’m in awe of @shewritespress and @brooke_warner. Brooke is a generous, assertive leader with so much heart who makes things happen. I’m so grateful to be a part of this press.

Are you afraid someone will steal your idea? A great writing exercise is giving several writers the same prompts and seeing how differently they write their story. #writer #podcast #publishing #writersofinstagram

Authors don’t have to fear other books. #author #writer #podcast

Do you get nervous when someone has a similar story?
