In honor of Lunar New Year, I reading this fantastic book on Eastern storytelling methods (highly recommend) and drinking a Vietnamese coffee/tea pour-over from @coppercowcoffee which is quite good, as well ☕️

Speculative thriller 😁👻

Yesterday was a GORGEOUS 75 degrees (in Kansas! In February!) so I pulled out my Christmas present from my husband—a super comfy outdoor chair—and got a bunch of editing done on my WIP. It was glorious ☺️☀️

When you finish reading a murder mystery set in a hotel while you're staying at a hotel, of course you have to do a mini photoshoot 😄📚
So delighted I received an ARC of MURDER AT THE HOTEL ORIENT by @alessandraranelli.bsky.social. Watch for this one in May! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was excited to go buy a copy of #thetruthofcarcosa 👀👑 by @jacobrollinson.bsky.social
Think of a kind of erudite HOUSE OF LEAVES—super creepy and filled with manuscript dread.

Waiting for a flight, but I’ve got a cold brew shandy from @parisicoffee and a good book, so I’m happy 😊

Happy New Year! As is our New Year's tradition, today we walked the labyrinth not far from my house. It is a contemplative way to start a new year, and I like to pick a word to focus on. This year I decided to go with "Balance." ⚖️

Good! Just very busy 😄

That used to irritate the heck out of me when I was doing karate. Didn’t happen too often, but when it did they would act as if they were being chivalrous 🙄 Fortunately doesn’t happen in Kendo (the armor rather nicely obscures gender 😏)

Nice foggy morning for early voting. Fast and easy ✅
Glad I brought my cheat sheet because party affiliations aren’t listed on the ballot.

Twas a slimy cold day outside today but thankfully I have a cozy coffee shop a few minutes from my house 🥰☕️ I got a ton of editing done.

Had a lovely time, as always, at the Johnson County Library Writers Conference. I particularly enjoyed chatting with Misako Rocks and gaining sage writing advice from Steve Almond 📚

I’m SO excited to reveal the UK cover of my next novel, The Bone Door! A fantasy/horror escape room novel, coming 7 May 2026

Had a great time at the #HeartlandBookFestival today 📚 I listened to Nnedi Okorafor talk and got an autographed copy of DEATH OF THE AUTHOR (an amazing book—highly recommend). I was very impressed by the turn out and will definitely try to attend next year! @nnedi.bsky.social

If you’re in the Kansas City area, come to the Japan Festival tomorrow at JCCC! The KC Kendo Club (including my entire family) will be running an outdoor workshop at noon and a demonstration in Polsky Theater at 3:30pm. Kcjapanfestival.org #kendo

Congrats to @jrbolesauthor.bsky.social for the release of LOVE AT THE FALL FAIR! If you’re looking for the perfect autumnal read, this is it. My kids and I had fun attending the launch and eating the fall-themed cookies 🍂 ☺️

Goodbye summer, hello autumn 🍂☺️🍁

Thanks Amy! ☺️

Thanks! ☺️

Lily and SLL will be representing me for all markets, save for the UK where the lovely Maria Brannan with Greyhound Literary will be handling those rights. So delighted to have these fantastic agents in my corner. Their enthusiasm for THE FOREVER WIDOWS BOOK CLUB has warmed my heart.

I'm thrilled to announce that I am now represented by Lily Dolin with Sterling Lord Literistic. I have, of course, pulled out a bottle of sparkling sake to mark the occasion (as I always tell my Creative Writing students: celebrate everything!).

Perhaps a bit early to be drinking in August, but I couldn’t help but snag a Pumpkin Spice Latte when settled in for some work this morning ☺️🍁☕️

I created a book trailer for my current WIP: THE FOREVER WIDOWS BOOK CLUB 👀📖

My family went to a gorgeous Japanese Gardens in Rockford Illinois over the weekend. I had so much fun taking photos and noticing all the little details that remind me of scenes from my novel, THE SECRET GARDEN OF YANAGI INN (there was even a boat!).

I cannot WAIT for this book 🔥🔥🔥
