Though I was happy Van Gogh Gone (Remembrandt 2) made it into the Deseret Book spring ad, I was a little confused by the book summary. The first sentence is perfect, but I'm not sure who wrote the second one or who even wrote that book! For those that have read Van Gogh Gone, you'll understand that Alex DID NOT go anywhere with her roommate nor did she rescue a colleague. But, hey, maybe I'll use that as an idea for my next book ;) #adwriterfail #vangoghgone #teenspy #authorlife

God and I are going to have a serious discussion when I get to heaven. Without fail, every pregnancy around 6 months a pinched nerve in my lower back becomes so bad, I walk like I'm 100 (I seriously need a cane!) and scream in pain at random times when I have to lift my leg or sit or lift . . . I usually don't complain until it acts up bad enough that I can't run. Which happened yesterday! I thought I was out of the woods since I'm almost 7 months. Nope! It's back. I can get the worst pain to go away with a few weeks working with a chiropractor, but until then don't mind me as I limp by. Maybe I will get a cane . . .

Only a few hours away! What better thing to do on a Friday night, right? In other news, one of the classes I went to today actually made me cry (in a good way). Though I miss my kiddos, I'm glad I'm here. #ltue2016 #booksigning #kevinjanderson #remembrandt #remembrandt2 #vangoghgone #authorlife

If you are looking for a good romance without the R rating, here's a list of good clean romances, just in time for Valentine's Day! I'd also recommend these to teen girls that want love stories, but would prefer to keep things PG.

The 2 things I love most about being an author (besides the actual writing), is visiting schools/book clubs and talking about writing AND giving copies of my book away. Most people don't realize that authors don't get stacks of books to giveaway. In fact, I only received a handful of books to use for giveaways and after this GoodReads winners I'm sending off tomorrow, I'm going to have to buy my own book! But I still love sending the love out. #bookgiveaway #vangoghgone #remembrandt2 #utahauthor #goodreads #youngadultbooks #suspense #romance #barcelona #paris

Only 5 hours left to enter the GoodReads giveaway for your chance to win an autographed copy of Van Gogh Gone. The link is in my profile ☝🏻️ For those that haven't read the book summary, just imagine a young adult suspense that will get your heart racing (in more ways than one🔫❤️) and give you a little taste of what it might be like to be a student at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island while being a part of an spy organization that exists in its basement. And how about throwing in a stolen painting and an unsanctioned mission to Barcelona & Paris? Throw in a threat against your family and a memory like a 🎥, and you'll get Remembrandt 2. #youngadultbooks #youngadultsuspense #youngadultromance #teenread #teenspy #utahauthor #writerslife #cleanread #cleanromance #romanticsuspense #newrelease #bookgiveaway #goodreads #goodreadsgiveaway

I'm 26 weeks pregnant today, so naturally, I decided to do a triathlon at the gym. 3.1 mile run, 12 mile bike, 750 meter swim. It was slow, but felt so good! #triathlontraining #pregnantandfit #14weekstogo

This little guy turned 8 today!! As the 3rd child and 3rd boy in the King fam, I was a little worried about more rambunctious chaos, but this kid has been a breeze - slept through the night first, easy and quick to potty train at barely 2, and always good and a smarty pants in school. Though he's not perfect by any means and definitely ALL BOY he'll always be my angel child and probably the main reason I'm pregnant with our 6th. Happy Birthday, Trevor!! #legolover #icecreamcake

And so it begins . . . I was supposed to start 2 weeks ago, but another book project has been distracting me. And maybe I'm kind of sad because this might possibly be the last book in the series. I don't want it to end!!! #remembrandt3 #authorlife

It's usually chaotic, noisy, and I think only one kid actually listened to the lesson BUT family night isn't necessarily about what we did, just that we did it together #fhe #familynight #familyoffive #soontobesix

I'm not making this up, people. This is what my fortune cookie said today. Doubly Ironic, one of my works in progress is about how a fortune cookie doesn't tell a 16 year old boy about his future, but it may hold secrets to his past. I'm definitely keeping this piece of paper. #author #authorsofinstagram #fortunecookie #utahauthor #teenbooks

I will never buy a prelit tree again. I will never buy a prelit tree again! 3 hours later after removing the bunted out lights I decided that people that buy real tree every year are the smartest people I know. #prelitchristmastreesstink
