Am I “supposed to be” doing homework? Yes. Am I “supposed to be” finishing up a revision? Also yes. Instead, I started reading @karathomaswrites new book and was #LOSTTODUNEROAD! Y’all, she hit this one out of the park.
Great advice for those of us who are toiling away but still don’t have a new book coming out, and even for those of us who do. People aren’t sick of hearing us talk about our “old books.” Don’t believe everything you thi
Two weeks ago, I thrifted a Delonghi Magnifica espresso maker for $20 (swipe). I gave it a deep cleaning with help from a YouTube video, descaled it, and it makes perfect espresso and foam. I’ve already recouped my money twice over by making la
Someday, because of this post, I hope you find yourself with champagne muselets and decide to turn them into little chairs. 🪑🍾 In my #darkacademia book that’s currently on sub, the main character recalls a memory of her (deceased) father mak
I’m jumping on the #firstpage bandwagon, happily following the lovely @daniellempaige down a very welcomed rabbit hole. I love a good opening scene, and it’s been a blast reading everyone’s first page this week. I hope the trend con
Working on my revisions alongside Ponyboy, my snuggle-buddy, with my gimpy, post-surgery baby girl hanging in the background. Later today, her splint and bandages come off and she gets put in a cast. Day-by-day. Bird-by-bird. Tomorrow is Ponyboy&rsq

My word of the year is Less. Less adding, more subtracting so I have the necessary time to work on things and relationships that truly bring deeper meaning to my life. January got off to a roaring start. I began the UCSD copyediting certificate progr
Tell me about a book that was influential to your own work. For me, Tara Westover's book Educated was a crucial part of my research for #LASTGIRLS. Her story about being born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho offers such an honest view into h
Them: Make sure your wrapping is recycled. Me: But make it fashion, amirite? Yeah, I brought that back. Witness my reuse of semi-ruined HP book pages and this month’s King Arthur Baking catalogue. #upcycle #reducereuserecycle #upcycling #gif

I’m always embarrassed when I miss a list that has one of my books on it, especially one centered around #thrillerbooks where one of my favorite quotes from #LASTGIRLS was chosen, and I’m listed beside a favorite, fellow Greek author. Tha
One of my favorite events, hosting @jaqsattack for her debut YA crossover launch of #BLADESTAY at @mystgalaxybooks was pure joy! She had a packed house and not only did they sell out of copies at MG, they also sold out at Amazon, earning her that cov
Two years ago, today??? Impossible. I guess the best memories stay front and center. I adore every one of these authors and always will. Posted @withregram • @demetrabrodskybooks Hands down, one of the most dynamic panels I’ve ever been
