Hi !
Every morning, I look out my office window at the big maple tree in our front yard, and it makes me happy. Half of its leaves are turning the most gorgeous color of wine cheese, and I absolutely love it! (Although it also makes me a little hungry.) 🧀🍁
Of course, there's a downside to being a writer with a view of a beautiful autumn tree. That gorgeous foliage recently caused a little trouble in a chapter of my upcoming book. I was writing a scene set in spring, and when I described the flower pots, I filled them with mums instead of spring flowers. Oops! 😂
I had to do a little rewriting to get the season right. You'd think a writer who plans an entire book around a spring wedding would remember what season she's writing about, but my poor brain had other plans.
The Splintered Spindle is HERE! 🏰🔪
I'm so excited that The Splintered Spindle: Grimm Tales of Mystery and Malice is now available in both Kindle and paperback. Even more exciting, it hit #1 in Amazon's Hot New Releases for Teen & Young Adult Fairy Tale & Folklore Anthologies eBooks! 🎉
Now, don't let that young adult category fool you. That classification simply means there's no swearing, graphic violence, or graphic sex. These are murder mysteries inspired by Grimm fairy tales, and they're absolutely perfect for grown-up mystery lovers, too.
