Is it chilly where you live? This looks like a good plan for today. Alas, there are words to write and things to do! (📸 = unknown)
This is a complicated message, but one that is very true. No one’s going to do it for you. Examine what you desire, then make a plan, and follow through. The Universe wants to give you what you most desire!
The new digital cover for WHAT LIES BEHIND is out today! This is the fourth book in my Sam Owens series and if you’re curious about how I came up with the story, the link in my profile will take you to its complicated origin story. Grab a copy while you’re there!
I fell madly in love with this painting over the weekend. The colors, the composition, the incongruous subject matter and style... doing research today on how to make it, or a facsimile, mine! (Hopefully @randyellison1 will approve) It’s called “Zoro the Cat with Flowers” by Nancy Guzik.
Somebody approves of my new temporary desk!⠀ ⠀ #catsofinstagram #caturday #officeview
Thank you for all the kind words, reviews, and purchases of A THOUSAND DOORS this week! It means so much to me and all of the contributing authors. Seeing this book go out into the world has been a dream! Have you read it yet? Let me know what you think!
Hallelujah it’s a good hair night! See you at the library, Chapel Hill. (Also, I LOVE it here!!!!! What a lovely town!)
I’m currently in Chapel Hill, NC for an event at the library tonight—I’m on a Villains & Monsters panel and would love to see you! This is the desk at my hotel and I love it. Not only am I getting lots of writing done, it’s the perfect size for me. Do you think it’ll fit in my suitcase? 😉 Tomorrow I’ll be back in Nashville for @writerfestnsh and that will wrap up the TEAR ME APART book tour. Thank you to everyone who has come out to an event!
Thank you to @prose_and_palate for this beautiful photo and review of A THOUSAND DOORS! Did you get your copy yet? And did you see we’re giving away a $100 gift card to @parnassusbooks on my blog to celebrate the book’s release? Enter to win through the link on my profile! #Repost @prose_and_palate with @get_repost ・・・ "When I died, I hadn't been happy in a very long time. I made some bad decisions. I let some opportunities pass me by. I let myself live in a bad marriage because it was too hard to leave it. I was consumed with regret. Consumed with anger. Obsessed with the thoughts of what could have been. I've seen my lives now. I've see the threads pulled. I've seen all the decisions I made differently lead to different places. The paths I chose, the paths I didn't choose. Some paths brought me joy. Some brought me pain. Some brought me to close to the abyss. The abyss I now stand in front of, alone, watching them work on my body. And now I have made my final choice. It is time. I take my final breath." • • Happy, happy pub day to all the tagged authors in this pic and to the thought provoking work, A Thousand Doors. Have you ever wondered what your life would have been like if you had only..... picked a different career path, chosen another spouse, chased that dream, taken that trip, or answered that phone call? This book and it's dazzling array of authors asks "what if" of their protagonist, Mia Jensen, and each chapter explores what Mia's life might have been like had she made different choices. • • Initially I wasn’t quite sure how so many voices would work narrating the same story, but the chapter to chapter transitions are seamless and each story line is compelling. There is betrayal, murder, forgiveness, redemption and I really enjoyed how it all tied together in the end. This book would make for excellent discussion on book club night and if it is not on your TBR list you need to rectify that immediately. Huge thanks to @thrillerchick for sending me an advanced copy of this dark, intriguing work where “Sliding Doors meets The Lovely Bones”.
