Friends! ! ! 😱 I’m so happy to finally reveal

Friends! ! ! 😱 I’m so happy to finally reveal the title for the SALLY book! 🖤📖✨ LONG LIVE THE PUMPKIN QUEEN! ✨👑

There was a lot of back and forth about this title (lots of people involved at Disney + beyond to ensure the exact right title for this story!)

We don’t have a final cover quite yet, but hoping to share it later this year! 🖤 It’s available for preorder on a few retail websites, and hopefully will be up everywhere else soon. Mark your calendars: it releases July 5th, 2022 with @disneybooks!

I can’t wait to share more about Sally’s story with you all in the coming months!

What do you guys think of the title!? 🖤

On Monday, I turned in revisions for the SALLY book! 🖤 On Tuesday, the hubs and I packed up + drove into the mountains for a few days away. 🌲 I didn’t open my laptop once yesterday. But today, the next book + the next deadline are tapping at my brain, so I’m outlining while sipping tea and waiting for the day to warm enough to stroll down to the lake. 🌾🏔

How are you spending your Wednesday?

I won’t have time for a garden this summer. 🌱🌻🪴🌛 It breaks my heart to see the bare plots of land where last year I grew calendula, broccoli, potatoes, carrots, and heaps of zucchini. 🐇

But although my writing deadlines won’t allow for a garden, I did sow in a few sunflower seeds in the raised beds, so later this fall I’ll be able to enjoy some autumn blooms. 🌻

Do you have a garden? I’d love to know what you’re growing this season? 🍅🥬🌽🌷🌻🌞

I’ve been feeling so much change lately, a transition in the air. 🌿 Like something big is coming, a tidal wave, a deep unearthing of something.

Is anyone else feeling this way?

⛈ We’ve had some unbelievable storms the last three days + I’ve sat beside my office window + watched them roll up from the south then churn onward to the north, toward Washington state. 🌧🌲💨

Today, I’m tidying up a few things in A WILDERNESS OF STARS before I send this revision back to my editor. ✨🌚🔭🌲

Have you been having storms where you live!? 🌦

Writers, I know sometimes the weight of comparison

Writers, I know sometimes the weight of comparison with other writers can feel overwhelming. Imposter syndrome is a sneaky beast. That feeling that if someone else has what you want, there won’t be enough for you. 🌿 But friends. There is more abundance in this wild, wild world than we know.
Your success is my success. My art is your art. Create. Keep going. I’ll see you there. 🖤💪📝 🌱

Writing this morning. 🌿 And yes, I will still be wearing glasses when I work on my laptop (they are a light “reader” prescription.) But I no longer need glasses for distance vision. 👓 Hooray! ✨ But you will still be seeing me in glasses much of the time. 🖤

How is everyone this week? 🌝 I’ve been so buried in revisions for A WILDERNESS OF STARS that I feel like I’ve forgotten about the outside world. 🍃🪵🐰

It’s going to be a busy month, with back to back deadlines, but I’ll still be popping in from time to time. ☺️ Sending all good things your way.🌷

Writing in my office today. 🌿 Pass pages for A HISTORY OF WILD PLACES are done, and this book is nearly ready to be printed, and I’m so excited to see the hardback cover. ✨

Now, I’m diving into revisions for A WILDERNESS OF STARS. 🔭🌚 I have a pretty quick turnaround on this book, then I’ll be jumping right into revisions for the SALLY book. 📖🌿🖤

Then, fingers crossed, I’ll have a spare moment (meaning a day or two) to spend some time on my next adult fiction book that only has about 100 pages written. 📖 It’s a story set beside the ocean, and it feels like coming home. 🌊✨🌿

How are you all spending this Wednesday!? 🙂

Granola recipe day! 🌿 You guys asked for it, and I’m finally sharing a post with my homemade granola recipe. 🌻

It’s pretty basic, nothing fancy, and is made with ingredients I always have on hand. 🌱

GRANOLA RECIPE:
- 4 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cup nuts/seeds (I often use pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, walnuts. But can be any seed combo.)
- 3 tbl flax meal
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted), or olive oil.
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave
- 1 tea vanilla extract
- 1/2 tea cinnamon
- 1/2 tea cardamom

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Then spread onto a baking sheet. Bake for 20min @ 350 degrees. 🌿 I then store half the granola in a large mason jar, the other half in the freezer until I need it. 🌻

Let me know if you try this recipe, and how it turns out! 🤗🌱🌷🙏

I took a day off this week. I rested and drank water and took a shower. 🌿✨🌻 I turned in revisions for A WILDERNESS OF STARS, and now I’m diving into revisions for the SALLY book. 📖

I know I have promised you all an AMA for A HISTORY OF WILD PLACES.... and I will do that soon! 🌿💕🤗

In the meantime, please forgive my delay in responding to DM’s or comments. ☺️ If I owe you an email or any other correspondence, please know that it’s not you, it’s me. And I’m currently drowning in words/revisions/deadlines.🌻

Wishing you all a wonder-filled weekend, quiet moments, and stories that make you feel connected to things outside yourself. 🌱🌝✨
