I discover what my readers are thinking about certain passages and it makes me a better writer to know what they like. People are always kind and have wonderful experiences that they want to share, based on what happened in my story. And it's also really great that I do a lot of my work in my pajamas!(less)

North Texas Book Festival

Book Festivals are truly the celebration of books and the authors who create them. The energy emitted from all of those enthusiastic and clever souls is easily felt and it's exhilarating.

I recently signed books at the North Texas Book Festival and it was no different. To my right was a gentleman whose book had just been published and it was his first book festival. To my left, a woman working on Read more of this blog post »
