Yesterday I went hunting for some inspiration. Legend says that somewhere in these cliffs a treasure was buried. May not have found gold, but it was full of ideas for Rachel’s Field! #WIP #amwriting

Happy #halloween2019! Today marks the second snowfall of our season so it’s already feeling a lot like winter. A perfect day for reading and writing. #amreading #amwriting

If I’m being social and responding on social media you had better bet that means I have a strict deadline and I should be working. I only have 49,608 words left to write this month. #amwriting #NaNoWriMo2019

Oh my goodness, look what the mailman brought me! I was thinking some cookies and hot cocoa would be a great treat for reaching my writing goals but this is so much better. #Dumplin Julie Murphy

Day 2 of #NaNoWriMo: My horror novel went north, all the way to the North Pole. My MC decided she was getting a Christmas tree. Like straight up #harlequin style. She’s going to regret doing that to me. #writing #horror

Today I have a whole extra hour to procrastinate writing my 1667 words. #NaNoWriMo #writingcommmunity

Only ONE MORE MONTH til The Weight of a Soul!!! This calls for an ARC #giveaway! Enter before 11/7, RT + F! (usa only, sorry 😩) (this is my angsty-one-month-left-anxiety face)

Day 3 is done. I’ve reached my goal but I’m going to try for at least one more streak as tomorrow’s a busy day. After I reward myself with a nice hot bath and a few chapters of someone else’s book. #selflove

I’ve already read this at least twice, but I love the cover and need it for my bookshelf. Only Sheila Roberts can park a Maserati at the foot of the Cascades and spark a romance with enough warmth to fend off the coldest winter days.

#NaNoWriMo confession: I spent an entire month outlining my current manuscript. 30,000 words in and the outline is scrap paper. My characters have taken over the plot and they are so much better at this than I am. #amwriting

Voting for the #GoodreadsChoice awards this morning and how are there so many amazing books I haven’t read yet? Getting in my #Nanowrimo word count early so I can knock down my reading goal.

Angela Murray is a rotund unseelie trapped in the human world. Not yet complete at about 40 years, she appeals to those seeking to explore the dark side of humanity through a thin veil of hope. Inspired by kitchen witches, magic coffee beans, and walks through haunted forests.

Hey #WritingCommunity! Want some marketing tips on how to hit a bestseller list? I wrote an article for @Bookbub about how I hit the USA Today bestseller list as a traditionally published author. Read it here: insights.bookbub.com/hit-list-tradi… #amwriting #writerslife #authorslife

For the last few days I’ve heard scratching and banging coming from the attic. It’s cold out so I called squirrel guy to come trap him. There’s nothing there. No sign of any animal. I’m not saying it’s #ghosts but... #haunted

Just got approved for Behind Every Lie by Christina McDonald on #NetGalley and I can’t wait to start reading and review this one.

Love this! carlywatters.com/2015/11/16/inf…

And this is why I am working my way towards becoming an agent. I love opening my inbox and finding that little piece of magic that makes you shriek out loud. I never even knew this was my dream job until I stumbled into an internship.

I think I found my wishlist vacation spot. Maybe my new home. A small town with a DOZEN bookstores on the seaside?!?! Pinch me, please. The Open Book: Atlas Obscura atlasobscura.com/places/open-bo…

Love The Spinner of Dreams. And that cover! 💕
