On International Girls Day, I had to mention the girls and Vermont!!!

Cheers—one last glimpse of Vermont. Absolutely gorgeous—and made even better by the girls who gathered to eat, write, and dream out loud.

Until next time, Vermont! And blessings my kindred spirits! I’m thankful, now go run the world.

This writing retreat was one for the books! Literally 🤪 (couldn’t resist).
So much fun. So much food. So many cool people. And I got SO many words!!
I had a blast and can’t wait for the next one!

Girls just want to have fun but girls that write just want silence, a strong writing community and the perfect setting for a retreat.

Writers taking a walk after the morning session. ✍🏾🍂 Sometimes the best thing you can do for the words is step away from the page, get some fresh air, move your body, and let the ideas marinate.

We’re coming back ALIVE, refreshed, inspired, and ready to write some more!

Enjoyed serving on a panel at the James River Writers Conference today with a group of fellow authors who’ve published in a variety of ways, as have I (through traditional publishers and my own imprint).

I’ve appreciated being a hybrid author, with an opportunity to publish in both arenas.

And it was a pleasure to meet @dennysbryce, an author I’ve admired from afar for years.

Congrats to the @jamesriverwritersrva leadership team and conference volunteers for organizing a great event!

🚨EBOOK SALE! EBOOK SALE! DID WE MENTION THERE'S A SALE ON EBOOKS?🚨

The Last Witch of Edinburgh: For fans of Sarah Penner’s The Lost Apothecary and Alix E. Harrow’s The Once and Future Witches, this lush, atmospheric novel from the author of Where Ivy Dares to Grow blends witchcraft, queer love, a vibrant Edinburgh setting, and Scottish folklore for a propulsive and emotional story exploring what it means to resist the patriarchy and find your voice.

Where Ivy Dares to Grow: Mexican Gothic meets Outlander in this spellbinding, atmospheric timeslip debut novel, as a woman struggling with her mental health spends the winter with her cruel in-laws in their eerie, haunting manor that sweeps her back through time and into the arms of her fiancé’s mysterious, alluring 19th century ancestor.

The First Date Prophecy: Readers of Christina Lauren and Emily Henry will adore this new read from the ‘90s Nickelodeon star of All That and The Adventures of Pete and Pete as he teams up with his real-life wife for an entertaining, big-hearted, and truly laugh-out-loud debut rom-com set in Brooklyn, steeped in 90’s nostalgia, and inspired by their very own love story.

Road Trip Rewind: Readers of Christina Lauren and Emily Henry will adore this standalone follow-up to The First Date Prophecy from 90’s Nickelodeon star of The Adventures of Pete and Pete and his real-life wife, as Back to the Future meets 10 Things I Hate About You when the past, the present, and two hearts (with unfinished business) collide in the most epic, hilarious, and downright poignant way…

A Gamble at Sunset: Award-winning author Vanessa Riley turns all convention on its head for the first in an enchanting, dazzlingly diverse new Regency romance trilogy featuring a duke, three sisters, and a tantalizing bet with a most desirable reward…

Murder in Westminster: Perfect for readers looking for a darker twist on Bridgerton, this first in a vibrant, inclusive historical mystery series portrays the true diversity of the Regency-era, as an aristocrat whose skin color and notorious family history have left her with few friends she can rely on is named as the prime suspect in a murder case…

Where the False Gods Dwell by Denny S Bryce (out now)

Inspired by Katherine Dunham’s expedition into Jamaica’s dance culture, this book brings together three fictional women from three very different life experiences. This ended up being a very fascinating story to listen to, especially as a hurricane bore down on them and this was in the 1930s, so there was no National Hurricane Center helping them out. Thank you to NetGalley and RB Media for a chance to listen to this one in exchange for an honest review.
