I’m referring to books where the central theme is a family, a place, or a group of friends. Some… Read More

A Laughing Matter
by Jennifer Shirk I confess. I love to read books that make me laugh—or at the very least crack a smile. It’s a form of escapism and gain a brief moment of happiness. As a writer who also likes to write funny, it creates some added challenges to an already hard profession. Why is writing… Read More

Priscilla “I’m bringing someone home with me for Thanksgiving,” I blurt out. Silence pulses through the phone. “You mean a special someone?” my mom asks.

A Romantic Education
by Sabrina Darby As I mention in my bio, I learned my best vocabulary (dulcet, diaphanous, and turgid) from romance books. I learned history from those same books, whether they took place in Tudor England, Napoleonic Europe or Gilded Age America. Half the fun was separating the fiction from the real history and pulling down… Read More

Full Circle: July to July with Kendrick Place
by Jody Holford I love when things turn out just as they were meant to, but as “things” are happening, I’m not very good at telling myself, just go along and it’ll all work out fine. I suppose this is the exact reason for the cliché: Hindsight is 20/20. Last July, I met my agent… Read More
