I had the great pleasure of guesting on one of my favorite podcasts this week!

The Plumfield Moms podcast includes interviews with authors, illustrators, publishers, curators, librarians, and bookish vendors as well as book reviews, spiritual reflections, and school themed series.

I never expected to write Please Return to the Lands of Luxury.

When the idea came to me, I was actually hard at work on a completely different book. But a strange sequence of events led me down a different path.

In a recent interview, Harrison Ford discussed how it was necessary to reflect Indiana Jones' old age in his latest adventure, The Dial of Destiny. Ford then described how that goal made the legendary character more jaded and disillusioned. I found this disheartening to say the least.

I've gotta be honest, I didn’t expect to be attacked by a hawk…

I’m often asked for my favorite writing resources, so I though it would make a great first blog post to put a list together, along with a little bit about why I like them.
