Five on a Friday with Sharon Peterson
One perk of being a published author is how many other authors I get to “meet.” We all hear about the big, flashy books by big-name authors, but there are a host of gems that may never cross our paths. (So many books… so little time!) I get to see some of those books these…
Read MoreFinding beauty in the crap life throws at you
Recently I discovered the site Shepherd.com, which is subtitled “Discover the Best Books.” The idea is that authors share lists of books around a particular topic. NOT our own books–but books we loved! For instance, here’s a list called “The best books about families and the secrets we keep from one another.” I’m going to…

Read MoreBook Review: Bloomsbury Girls
I thoroughly enjoyed The Jane Austen Society, so I have been looking forward to Bloomsbury Girls. Natalie Jenner did not disappoint!

Read MoreHave Laptop, Will Travel
Thursday morning, I dropped my husband off at his (closed) office so he could declutter his desk and continued south to a giant, bubble-enclosed pool so my 12-year-old could fulfill the last of his Second Class requirements. I walked in carrying my computer, and the adult, who’s seen me sitting on the floor outside many,…
Read MoreEscapism and that amazing new version of “Emma”
I doubt anyone will be shocked if I say I’ve always been a pretty serious person. I love movies and books and music that make me cry—that dig deep and explore human connection and emotion—that connect us to the REAL. But the last two years have been hard, and as I’ve already blogged a couple…

One of the great things about being a published author is how many other authors I get to “meet.” We all hear about the big, flashy books by big-name authors, but there are a host of gems that may never cross our paths. (So many books… so little time!) I get to see some of…
