The today is the 63rd anniversary of Sylvia Plath’s death.

Posting my collection of her books in remembrance of her incredibly influential genius (The Monsters Among Us would be quite different if I did not first read The Bell Jar!)

I may have some good news to share soon. But I'm recovering from surgery this week. So I'm just sharing some small moments of things I do when I need to refresh or reset my mindset as a writer for today's peek-behind-the-curtain moment. Puzzling and enjoying my book dragon quilt while reading.

I've been taking a video for fiction writers class on savvyauthors.com. So far, it's helped me generate good ideas for videos that I have yet to create. That's all I can share for a peek-behind-the-curtain. Since I don't have any videos to share here's a funny poem by Shel Silverstein instead.

Another review is up! This one is a historical mystery for middle school readers by Ruta Sepetys & Steve Sheinkin. Set during WWII at Bletchley Park, a brother and sister struggle to overcome their estrangement & Lizzie works to unravel the truth about what really happened to their mom.

This summer, fall in love with THE PLUS ONE PACT by Suzy Langevin.

It's still snowing and now the ice from yesterday is covered. Another sad kitty day of indoor confinement. Sigh.

Bailey and I are ready for this as winter storm Fern moves in over the weekend. Bring on the fuzzy blankets, books and hot chocolate or hot tea.

I love this new series by Sarah Fox! Read my review of it here and go to my blog to see what mystery I'll be reviewing next. It's early in the year yet. So, do any of you have any recommendations for mysteries for me to read in 2026?

Fun Friday fact to end the week with.

Today's peek-behind-the-curtain moment has to be brief so I can continue to catch up on some important writing work. Here is a glimpse of my office where part of the magic happens. The other area is on my couch with my laptop. Does anyone see my furry photo bomber?😆

Some day-in-the-life type reflections from the past week, which was another heavy one. I hope these help lighten your day a bit. I'm trying very hard to enjoy small wonders and moments in my life each day. What small joys or moments have made life a little sweeter for you?

How unlucky it is that I debuted the year they let Humbert Humbert back in office. It's a horrible era we're in, and I feel insane marketing my books amidst it all. But with everything that's happening, we need to be louder than ever about art. Especially anti-fascist works like mine.
