During sea turtle season, I cruise Ponce Inlet beach with Florida’s Volusia Turtle Patrol. ​I'm also a writer for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach.

​My third novel, THE TRAIN TO SANTA FE, will be forthcoming from Regal House Publishing in summer 2026.

My second novel, SNAKES OF ST. AUGUSTINE was released by Regal House in September 2023. Read reviews online at https://www.gingerpinholster.com/.

​in 2019, my debut novel, CITY IN A FOREST, received a gold award in the Florida Writers Association's 2020 Royal Palm Literary Awards competition.

A fourth novel is in the works. Suffice it to say, there are sea turtles. Read more at https://www.gingerpinholster.com/novels.

That is, you can talk (T) it through with a friend who likes to read. You can walk (W) through some environment that relates to your story. (For instance, if you're writing about snakes, visit a serpentarium.) Or, you can try (T) different plot paths. Remember what Charles Frazier did in his book Thirteen Moons? Write several versions of the plot twist and see which one you like best. At the very least, you'll get back into the swing of writing. (less)

Tr…moreKnow that you are loved and you are doing a noble thing. Attempting to bring art into the world is so much more difficult than most people realize. Try to have fun with it, too. Close your office door and read your work aloud. Act out the dialogue. Immerse yourself into the world you’re creating on the page. Writer Anne Lamott wrote, in Bird by Bird, that “the first draft is the child’s draft, where you let it all pour out and then let it romp all over the place, knowing that no one is going to see it and that you can shape it later.” Allowing your imagination to have play time is a great privilege – enjoy it. Once your first draft is complete, then you can unleash your inner grownup and revise your work.(less)
