I started my first journal when I was 7,
there's a large box in my garage dedicated to the journals I've filled since then.

Now I only write longhand in the middle of the night or while waiting in my car.
Sometimes I can read it later.

I don't always like rules.

I survived swimming in the Rogue River two times on one trip.
I was not swimming on purpose.

I taught Middle School Algebra with a degree in Political Science and French.

I'm one of those crazy Mormons I used to make fun of.

I drew up the plans and built two houses.
When I say "built" I mean that I was outside with a hammer and nails, building a house.

I have two kids.
One has Moebius Syndrome.
Most doctors don't know what this is.

I survived my husband going to law school.

“The bizarre thing is that I like the rules. They mean someone’s watching out for me. I’m well aware that I’m probably the only sixteen-year-old who doesn’t mind strict guardians.”

“Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There are no exceptions to this rule.”
Stephen King

“God grant me to SERENITY to accept what I cannot change the TENACITY to change what I may and the GOOD LUCK not to fuck up too often”
King, Stephen, ’Salem’s Lot

“I try to smile at her, but I can't extend my flexibility training to my mouth, it just won't move.”
Stephanie Campbell, Grounding Quinn

“My insides feel like they are crumbling like a towering JENGA game. I lose.”
Stephanie Campbell, Grounding Quinn

“Does it ever make you sad?"
"Does what?"
"The Sunset,"
"Sad? Nah, I think it's peaceful."
"Not to me. I've always found it depressing."
"How so?"
"I guess because it's the end. I hate endings."
"Not all endings are bad though. I think of sunsets more as a clean slate. Besides, they're beautiful... like you"
"Beautiful things never last.”
Stephanie Campbell, Grounding Quinn

Kimberly Russell I'm way late to the party but your books look amazing and I can't wait to dive in!


Jolene Perry Liz -

Wow. Thank you SO much.
That was a very personal book to write, and I really thought I was going to get hammered in reviews for it.
I'm ALWAYS glad when that's not the case.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write. Seriously.

Jolene


message 4: by Liz

Liz Thank you so much for your Friendship. Just finished (devoured) your book "Knee Deep". Simply breathtaking and beautifully written.


Jolene Perry Hey! Thanks for chiming in, but I've actually already read this one, lol. I just want it on my shelf ;-D

And you're SPOT on with why I really liked it.

I did a big post on how much I loved it and Antony John and I went back quite a few times. SUCH a nice guy.


message 2: by Fred

Fred Hey there! Saw that you entered the giveaway for Five Flavors of Dumb, just putting in my two cents, I enjoyed that one quite a bit, and I think you will too. It's all about the MC, and her struggles with family issues and trusting herself. Fun but not without its poignant moments. If you don't win, I have it in paper, fwiw, and would be happy to send it to you!
