This is why it’s dangerous for me to go to Barnes and Noble alone😂 But for the record, I don’t go there often so I’m just buying in bulk until the next visit months from now!

Spilled Milk, a peek into maladaptive nostalgia, nonsensical fantasies, hopeful dreams, and tears spilled over nothing, wrapped up in a neat hygge vibe.

(Also, a peek of a cat if you squint hard enough.)

This book has everything: Fighting women, sharp weapons, sass, food, a tiger, lush desert cities, and a trio of characters just trying to do their best to survive.

You can find The Assassin of Grins and Secrets on Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, and Barnes and Noble (shop).

Yay, I made a video!

Check out the new cover here!

[ID: a video zooming in on a small, bright green book titled "Spilled Milk" by Ives Phillips, and then zooming out to reveal the book's new cover. The new cover has a brick-red background. The title and by-line are one a photoshopped torn piece of lined notebook paper; there is a column of strips of construction paper in green, red, orange, and yellow; there is a torn piece of Kraft paper with a drawing of an eye on it, and a glass of milk is photoshopped to look like it's spilling on an Italian bust of a weeping woman.

The book is flipped over. On the same colored background is the same bust but faced left and wirh drawings of tears near her eyes, and diagonally is anothe glass of milk seeming dropped, with milk splashing on another, larger piece of Kraft paper. On the scrap piece of paper is a handwritten poem called "You're Wrong."

The poem reads:

"I can't live without you, says the one who awoke this morning, air filling their lungs, blood still running warm, and a heart stitching up and beating stronger."

Endings

April 10, 2024|Blogging

Unfortunately, all stories come to an end. Whether good or not. Some endings can be abrupt, unexpected, full-circle, resolved, or cliffhanger-type endings. Personally, I hate an abrupt ending that leaves you to decide what happens next. A happy ending is what most of us want, but sometimes a sad or full-circle ending is better for the story. What type of endings do you prefer? I would love to hear from you and find out. Remember to "Enjoy the Write!" KSCarson

The BAT

Episode 166 of our podcast for writers is filled with fun as we announce the “CC and JT 2024 Big Ass Trip” (BAT). Before the end of April, we’re heading to all points east, with stops across two countries, with our destination being the State of Maine. We’ll swing by my sister’s place in Delaware, the Baseball Hall of Fame, and the historic battlefield of Gettysburg (not in that order, obviously).

The usual caveats apply when it comes to a BAT like this, especially one for the road, because real life can happen. Even so, we’re excited about this opportunity to do boots-on-the-ground background research for CC and my respective books, each tentatively scheduled for release in CY2025.

If you want to follow along, we’ll be posting across the social media platforms with the hashtags of #ccandjt and #bat2024, and if you have ideas on places to visit, let us know.

Have a listen and TIA LYL!

Family Ties in Blended Families

According to the Pew Research Center, 40 percent of families in the US are blended. There is a very special bond that happens in blended families.

Fifty years later, I have wonderful playful wisdom to share with you. You do not need a background in philosophy or anything else, just honest willingness to look. This is just like your original adventure of coming to Know as a fresh Love One. I have made it easy and exciting to experience, and oh so fun!
