I just received this lovely glass stacked books teacup and heavy weighted velvet emerald-green blanket for my birthday! Feeling special today. I can't wait to sip out of this beauty while curled up safe under this heavy comforter.

The #1 thing authors don’t see is how much time & technique goes into editing. Editing is a lot more than just looking for typos. There’s a plethora of analyses that I do for each level of editing!

I love acquisitions. I find myself turning down more manuscripts, for the wonderful reason that I’m brought more amazing manuscripts! I don’t enjoy saying no, but it's fun to say yes!

Being on the computer doesn’t mean being stuck inside. My favorite place to edit is outside in my backyard. I have a small table under a gazebo overlooking my koi pond, complete with Wi-Fi.
