Just finished this one. It takes place in Minneapolis during Trump’s first term, and seems especially relevant today. But, somehow, it made me laugh at times. Highly recommend.

A few of us let winter work her frosty magic yesterday. 💙Wonderful hike along the Finger Lakes Trail, followed by burgers and beer @lockstockbristol . Cold, snowy days have a way of making me feel so warm and inspired. 🥰

I’m taking December off…a much-needed break from restructuring #thenightofthewhales to fully enjoy the holiday season and winter (which I love!). In between wrapping presents and decorating, @robertgskinner and I took Cooper for a walk o

Great way to end a great day ☀️ #thenightofthewhales is as much about NYC as it is about nature. Grateful for both…

It’s been a minute! Quick update on the book…I have some agent interest 😁😁😁, but I need to restructure the storyline a little. So, I’m working on taking it to the next level. Stay tuned!!!! In the meantime, @robertgskinner and I

I’ve never had a librarian laugh at me before, but that’s what just happened when I went to pick up these two tomes 🤪. I know, I know…it’s not exactly light summer reading. One is to help add some depth to the novel, the oth

Looking in the rear view, it’s a good thing I didn’t know how difficult writing a novel can be. I might not have started. Now I’m in the home stretch and I’m almost always tired (brain dead). I haven’t spent as much time

The ocean is a constant source of inspiration for my writing. But sometimes it also leaves me at a loss for words.

Pre-game show, without the noise. Happy Fourth! 🇺🇸

It’s so inspiring to hear from writers who have gone through this process, especially when they are as genuine, talented and funny as @juliaphillipswrites is! I love both of her books. And I like her name 😉. Great night at @strandbookstore 😊

Here’s my first BIG book news! After applying to the @gothamwriters conference, I am being given the opportunity to pitch my novel to two literary agents in October 🤞🏻.

Writing a novel is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. It’s solitary. There are no intermediate rewards. I never really take a day off — the characters are always on my mind. That’s why some corners of our house are off

One of my favorite sayings: There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing choices. After getting through a tough spot in the book this afternoon, I decided to put on the rain gear and take a break ☔️ 😅

@robertgskinner gave me a few days to work on finishing the book while he is in VT, getting certified to teach paragliding lessons. I just told Cooper that Rob is now on his way home…and he jumped into his waiting spot. Just a few more hours,

Happy Mother’s Day!

A couple of weekends ago, I walked from the very top to the very bottom of Manhattan with my middle child. It was her 30th birthday celebration, her way to mark a milestone. My other daughter, my son and numerous friends jo

Nice to see @theunreliablenarratorroc buzzing on Indie Bookstore Day. Lots of shoppers here (including me)!😊 #independentbookstoreday #independentbookstore #roc #readersgonnaread

When you’ve been holed up in the writing room for three days straight, and then you start reading pages to your pets so they don’t feel neglected …🤪

Too much to ask? I think not.

One of my characters is an artist in New York, but that’s not a world I’m terribly familiar with. So I went to an opening at @yossimilogallery in Chelsea for inspiration and ideas. Had a great time, but I liked this outfit almost as much

Look close! My NYC office this week is also where @mikayla.holzwarth lives, and she has a little reminder of the #roc on her wall 👍🏻
