Spending 4 days and 3 nights in a tent with my family is worth it for views like this. This is off the Gitchi-Gami Trail near Grand Marais. #teacher #writer #reader #momlife #camping

That said, success does not always equate to book sales. Some of my moments of 'success' this year had to do with connections with readers.
Wishing you much book success. ๐๐
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort."

Next to this image is a quote from Finding Fae: We are surrounded by trees in the ripe stages of mid-to-late autumn, with leaves of red and gold and sunset orange. When a wind whispers through the trees, it whisks away some of the leaves from the branches, tossing them through the air until they float to the forest floor.
Looking for something to #read with #fallvibes today? The first book in my YA urban fantasy adventure trilogy has a fair number of autumnal scenes, including a fall equinox celebration in the fae realm! #writingcommunity #fantasybooks #bookswithfallvibes

The wind blows through the treesย
and I can almost feel it on my skin,
the final soft caress of summerโs air
with a hint of autumnโs chill
in the lingering breeze.
