My topsy-turvy, exhausting week, introducing exciting new changes to this podcast and my social media - welcome Sydney! - and why GRRM being at 70% now and 70% three years ago doesn't mean no progress.

First Cup of Coffee – September 5, 2025
Supporting creativity, creators, and their creations vs. demanding a product and how parasocial relationships have fostered a tension there. Self-love and self-care vs. self-indulgence. Also, I turned in AMONG THE THORNS!

First Cup of Coffee – August 29, 2025
How endings of books can't be changed by simply lopping off final chapters and adding new ones - the story must point toward the finale all the way through. Also, US politics to wade through at first, esp state vs fed rights

First Cup of Coffee – August 26, 2025
Things not to say to authors and how George R.R. Martin won't ever let someone else finish his books. Also, wondering if I'm on an uphill trajectory or a peak, and how I'm going to hire someone to do my social media.

Why finding where the story starts is *always* one of the most difficult challenges in writing, why I firmly believe you shouldn't get critiques from people who love you, and new developments on AMONG THE THORNS.

First Cup of Coffee – August 8, 2025
All about the extraordinary thing that happened this week regarding NEVER THE ROSES - and about serendipity, bolts of lightning, what you can and can't plan for, and why I love working with smart women who also talk about skin care routines.

First Cup of Coffee – August 5, 2025
I have bookplates for all of you! Also, I'm FINALLY showing off the incredibly gorgeous, exclusive Owl Crate edition of NEVER THE ROSES - and giving some spoilery, insider tidbits about it.

It's release day for NEVER THE ROSES!! I'm mostly burbling about that, the importance of having author friends and how they're showing up for me. And how I'm leaving on book tour tomorrow!

At last getting to share the news: I'll be at San Diego Comic Con! Very excited to be on programming there. Also, working on this revision still and how I'm contemplating hosting writing retreats.

Balancing working on a revision while heading into full-blown celebratory release week, having good friends coming to join in, and dealing with related fire drills. Also, a peek at the audiobook of NEVER THE ROSES!

We had our first clutch of chicks a couple of weeks ago :-)

First Cup of Coffee – June 27, 2025
I'm going on book tour! Lots of burbling about that and this Cinderella ticket. Also a deep dive into how we decided on book titles (Spoiler: don't get attached!) and fun insights into yesterday's editorial meeting.

First Cup of Coffee – June 24, 2025
My revision process: how I estimate how long a revision will take, the metrics I use to track progress, how I approach making changes, etc. Also, working with a great editor, the danger of perfectionism, and wishing for rain.

First Cup of Coffee – June 20, 2025
On titles and why authors have to resist being clever and remember SEO rules. Also where the reign of social media influencers is taking us, the trad-wife fetish, and how to retain your humanity through it all.

SOLIDARITY!

First Cup of Coffee – June 17, 2025
The challenge of writing Romance - and really earning the reader's belief in love overcoming obstacles. Also, the #NoKings protests over the weekend in the US, power and corruption, and love conquering hate.

First Cup of Coffee – June 13, 2025
Talking to you all - but especially writers! - about the perils of seeking external validation, how the publishing industry is particularly challenging this way, and why "moving the needle" is a useless metaphor.

First Cup of Coffee – June 10, 2025
Sending out love to all you listeners I'm getting to meet in person! So great! Also, on boundaries, how you don't have to be mean to protect your writing time, but that you do have to hold your feet to the fire.
