When she was in the fourth grade, Hannah Rae couldn't fall asleep one night. She climbed out of bed, padded down the hallway to her parents' bedroom, and said, "Mom, I can't sleep." To which her mother replied, "Make up a story in your head." So Hannah created a cast of characters, and a setting, and a plot... and to this day, the first thing she thinks about when she snuggles under the covers each night are those characters and that setting. But the plot is always changing. ...more

It's not an Ian Fleming sort of adventure--there are no guns or disguises or private jets--but the plot does involve an awful lot of racing against the clock!(less)

I've found that if I'm not quite ready to write a book, then I shouldn't push myself to write that book. Instead, I distract myself by doing other things: planning an event, producing a new piece of artwork, experimenting with recipes in the kitchen... In other words, I continue to be creative, but not via writing.

Writing is a definite process. For me, that process tends to start with the characters. The stuff that I write is very character-driven. That means that if I'm not familiar with the characters--if they haven't introduced themselves to me and shared their stories--then I don't have much to say. Once I know who they are, though? Well, that's when things start to fall into place. (less)

Let's Talk About Texts, Baby

Fictional texts, that is. I have a new book coming out. It's called FLICKER SHIMMER SHINE and it will be released on Halloween. However... If you live in Gettysburg, you can (potentially) purchase the book a bit early because I have twenty copies and will be doing a book signing at Mr. G's this upcoming Saturday, October 25, from 3:00 to 5:00. (I'll have my other books there too, so if a Halloween Read more of this blog post »

This was sort of boring. I didn’t connect with the characters and had trouble keeping track of the plot.

Another win from Anna Quinlan! Lovable characters, a complicated plot, and an exploration of human emotions. I loved it.

This was one of those thrillers where the women have no friends, the husband is everything, the twist is positively absurd, and the plot is meh. It held my attention, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
