#roaring20sdebut

Today is the last day of 2020 which also means it's the last day of my debut year. I decided to do a fun little photo shoot with my book up in the mountains to celebrate such a huge milestone. There have been so many ups and downs this year (way too many downs), but I can confidently say that finally having my book release, even with all the craziness, was a highlight. I'm glad to be closing the door on 2020, but will never forget how special it was to have such a huge dream come true. Here's to 2021! #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #roaring20sdebut #yafiction #yacontemporary #authorsofig #authorsofinstagram #authorsofinsta #writersofinsta #writersofig #writersofinstagram #swoonreads #ifyouonlyknew #iyok https://www.instagram.com/p/CJd6IYYgoa3/?igshid=uiug1gf4v48m

My debut baby came out almost eight months ago! I've been reflecting a lot on my publishing journey lately. None of it has been predicable. I wrote the first draft of If You Only Knew back in 2014. It took six more years for it to be published. I had all but given up on it when my publisher, Swoon Reads, contacted me. It was the last thing I expected, and it was so exciting. I'm grateful that this book is out there now. I worked hard on it. It may take people only a matter of days to finish it, but it took YEARS to write it, from the first draft to the final pass. It's so easy to feel like a failure in the publishing industry, especially when you're in the waiting stage (and there are MANY waiting stages), but I accomplished something so many still dream about, and that's not failure. #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #roaring20sdebut #ifyouonlyknew #iyok #swoonreads #iwriteya #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #writersofig #authorsofinstagram #authorsofinsta #authorsofig https://www.instagram.com/p/CGNfh-0APZV/?igshid=12ireqer42msu

One of my favorite people had a book debut last week! Congrats to @shannondoleski! I had to wait patiently for my copy of Mary Underwater to arrive thanks to the virus but the wait was worth it. This book is the perfect upper MG read with a fiercely determined protagonist (Mary Murphy WHO BUILDS A SUBMARINE), a sweetheart of a love interest (hi, Kip!), and a plot that will warm your heart and bring tears to your eyes. So glad I finally have my copy so I can brag about it to anyone who will listen. And if you haven't bought a copy yet, what are you waiting for?!? #middlegrade #roaring20sdebut #uppermiddlegrade #mg #mgbooks #books #reader #readersofinsta #readersofinstagram #readersofig #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #coverlove #middlegradebooks #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #maryunderwater https://www.instagram.com/p/B-9sJs4gNsQ/?igshid=bp7fxxyh5b1w

“Everyone feels better with a cup of tea... “AND with finished proofs!! . . . I treated myself to all the cliche writer experiences today. For the first time, I spent an entire morning proof-reading in a coffee shop, while sporting my rarely worn glasses and a fab hat! It was brilliant and somewhat surreal to enjoy a London Fog while reading about Thea and Khi’s coffee shop encounters. Oh I can’t wait to share this story!! . . Beyond a few minor changes, FADE TO WHITE is ready for the masses! . . Stay tuned for the cover reveal next week!!! Oh and there is still time to get in on the reveal and all manners of launch team twinkle light fun! You could read their story like today and you could also help with a couple of last minute tweaks, the play list and the pre-release swag packages!! And it’s gonna be so shimmering!
