Summer Beach Reads
If you're a writer, please take my survey.
Greetings friends!
It’s been a busy month and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. July has been filled with bike rides (when the Canandian wildfire smoke wasn’t forcing us indoors) and yard work (when the oppressive heat and humidity weren’t forcing us indoors). This week has finally been cooler and smoke-free and it’s put me in SUCH a good mood.
Do you prefer temps in the lower 70s or do you prefer summer to feel like you stepped into a sauna? No judgment here if you prefer cooking in an oven. ;)
Need a Reading Rec?
Summer is the perfect time to lounge in a shady spot with a good book. Three of mine — Chasing the Sun, The Trail Rules, and The Quiet Unraveling of Eve Ellaway — take place in the summer and will transport you to Portland, Boulder, and good ol’ Grand Haven!
Calling All Writers!
This fall, I’m teaching a writing workshop that will focus on getting through writing the middle of a novel. I know my tricks and techniques, but I’d love to hear from my writer friends as well.

ICYMI: Following My Own Advice
I’ve been writing books for almost twenty years. (Side note: holy crap.) I’ve published 10, written 14, and have 2 lingering in half-finished first-draftdom. You could say I’ve learned I’ve learned a thing or two about the writing process in that time.
