Hi friends! just a reminder that this is happening in two days! Come hang out with us! The event is free, but you need to register (link’s in my bio). AND everyone who registers will be entered in a drawing to win FOUR books — one each by @brightenuff, @lauraparrottperry, @mattbayswriter, and me!
And if you haven’t read my third book yet, it’s a whole seven dollars off on Amazon right now! Link’s in my bio.
Friends!! I have some news. I've been working hard on this and I'm so excited to tell you that I will have a new book (my fourth!) coming out this November. I'm self-publishing this one, like I did with 365 Days of Peace, so there is SO much to do, and I'm pretty much the one who has to do it all. (Though I am working with @hayespublicity to help me on the publicity and marketing end.)
I’m so excited and grateful to be offering a fall session of my Finding Your Voice Writing Workshop this October. I’ve been working on this workshop, for aspiring writers who struggle with depression and other mental illness, for over a year now, and this will be the third time I’ve offered it. With two sessions under my belt, and feedback from the participants, my team and I have been improving and streamlining the workshop, and I’m confident that this fall will be the best one yet.
I wrote you a poem.
#ThrowbackThursday The last time I was in Maine, in 2019. I was in the water when I took that photo, at Shirttail Point in Camden. My body made those ripples.
