Hey, I hope your Memorial Day weekend is going well. It’s a great time of year to pay tribute to not only your lost loved ones, but also to all of the men and women who died in service. I also consider it the weekend where summer really begins. And even though our kids aren’t […]
Three things I did this weekend to get my writing back on track
I’ve had a lot of busy weekends in the last two months. With the new baby, a writing conference, a bunch of signings, panels, and talks, and of course getting hit by a car while crossing the street…yeah, things have been somewhat crazy over here. And while I’ve been keeping up with my promotional goals, […]
