A little bit of catch up for me... Which holiday song best describes my writing style? The first song that comes to mind is Vienna Teng's The Atheist Christmas Carol! I like to think my writing is bittersweet with a focus on the light in the dark and connections and this song just really captures that! #TheWriterFriendsChallenge #FantasyIndiesDecember #bebookseries #wheretheheartis #animpossibledream #bookseries #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #readingcommunity #readingofinstagram #readerscommunity #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writingofinstagram #WritingCommunity #authorsofinstagram #authorgram #authorchallenge #writerschallenge #bookchallenge #wipwednesday #writerslife #musicofinstagram #viennateng #musicinspiration #holidaysongs #thememorytree #societysfoundlings #solvingforx https://www.instagram.com/p/CmPrSZqSZBG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 11 for #SpilltheNovelTea & #FantasyIndiesJune is "#SnippetsSaturday" with lie or truth! In my WIP, An Impossible Dream, truth is another common theme in the story. The main character, Sare, is the queen of half-truths & technicalities. Her friend, Gracelynn, also has "a penchant for lying," as Hayworth puts it. It's another exploration of that ever-gray survival vs. morality. At the same time, there is so much about herself that Sare doesn't know and is left having to rely on stories she'd been told. There's a comfort to some of these stories, though, and "she'd like to think that, like most stories, somewhere in there lay a seed of truth." The prompt also made me think of this snippet from my first book, Society's Foundlings (available on Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, etc, in my Etsy Shop, & ordered through your local library)! It's one of my favorite lines of the book: "There's more truth in a ripple of water than in a clear day." #animpossibledream #societysfoundlings #socalauthor #wipwednesday #bebookseries #beseries #truthorlie #truthquotes #writingtruth #storysnippet #storyquotes #bookseries #bookquotes #authorgram #writersofinstagram #writingofinstagram #amwriting #indiebooksbeseen #indiebooksofinstagram #WritingCommunity #writerscommunity #readingofinstagram #readersofinstagram #readingcommunity #readerscommunity #bookpreview #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CerWyiAP_Jq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Society's Foundlings turned 6 this month! There's a lot that goes into #writing any #book, but here's just a little bit of the #behindthescenes. Two #notebooks a bunch of loose leaf paper and a draft of the #manuscript! #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #authorsofinstagram #readersofinstagram #booksofinstagram #writerslife #bookanniversary #SocietysFoundlings https://www.instagram.com/p/CQZWtV9FmYs/?utm_medium=tumblr

I have been so focused on and entrenched in my upcoming #book and that series that I almost missed that #SocietysFoundlings, my first published book, had an anniversary coming up. It's nice to go back to the beginning every once in a while. So, this month, I'll be focusing on the book that kicked off my career as a #publishedauthor! Here's a preview of Society's Foundlings! #ya #youngadultbooks #teenreads #bookpreview #bookstagram #ReadersofInstagram #booksofinstagram #indiesofinstagram #bookanniversary #bookversary #bookbirthday https://www.instagram.com/p/CPtGjw4liMi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 28 of the #WriterFriendsChallenge is "story by the senses- smell." These quotes are from 4 of my already published books! * The Memory Tree (2018) * Solving for X (2016) * Society's Foundlings (2015) * Be (2021) I've discovered that I do a lot with scent in my books, which probably should not be that surprising on two fronts. 1) I work very closely with scent on the aromatherapy side of my handmade business, @acorn_tops! 2) A number of books have a theme of memories and scent is very closely tied to that! I also use scent in my books to help set the scene, build or introduce the environment and setting, and, much like taste, capture a deeper or more abstract feeling/emotion/concept. #writingcommunity #writingofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writingchallenge #writerscommunity #authorsofinstagram #authorcommunity #authorgram #authorchallenge #storybythesenses #writingscent #writingsmells #readingofinstagram #readersofinstagram #readingcommunity #readerscommunity #aromatherapyofinstagram #aromatherapy #scentandemotions #scentandmemory #thememorytree #societysfoundlings #solvingforx #beseries #bebookseries #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #indiebooksofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CeHfl6XvULt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today is day 17 of the #WriterFriendsChallenge by @susanleighneedham and @thatsarahelynn and the #authorgramchallenge by @lorenlicata and @writeincommunity! The prompts are "writing goals" and "ideal readers" and the two definitely go hand in hand! I'd love to fill my writer mug with the tears and heart-break of my readers. I want to, as I say in my book Society's Foundlings, "whisper to the page words of mutual understanding." As one of the reviewers said about my book Solving for X "connect emotionally" or as a reviewer said about The Memory Tree, "just thinking about this [story] makes me emotional" and "give permission to feel..." (insert emotion here). I want to be able to make my readers so attached to the stories that they inspire fanart, like @theenchantedwren's 3D miniature light up paper art scene of the Queen's room from my Be series! A more short term goal is finishing the 2nd novel in my Be series, An Impossible Dream, and have it published before the end of the year. I also have a couple more children's books in the works, including a rhyming early reader stand alone. And, I have the illustrations to finish for Pam Ryan's sweet story, Baby Bird Gets His Feathers. #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writersfriendschallenge #writerfriendschallenge2022 #writersofinstagram #writinggoals #writerslife #writersgoals #authorgramchallenge2022 #authorgram #authorsofinstagram #authorjourney #authorgoals #bookseries #bookpreview #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookreviews #bookrecommendations #readingofinstagram #readersofinstagram #readingcommunity #societysfoundlings #theenchantedwren #beseries #solvingforx #thememorytree https://www.instagram.com/p/CdqwbU0rPpW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
