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.🌻

(Link in bio!)

These are Advance Reader Copies (not the final hardback) 🌚

I’m so excited for this book to finally be making its way into the hands of readers... it feels like ages ago when I started writing this story (way back in 2017!) and I can’t wait to start talking about all these marvelous, secret-keeping characters. 📖🌿💕

As promised, I’m sharing my current morning tea

As promised, I’m sharing my current morning tea recipe. ☕️🌿✨ As many of you know, I’m always shifting to different teas and methods. But this is what I’ve been drinking for about the last month. 🌿 Mostly because it’s so easy and quick! 🤓

☕️
All of these ingredients I just put into my milk frother and it blends them up. 🌿

• 1/4 teaspoon of matcha green tea powder. I’m trying to limit my caffeine, so I’ve been making this with only 1/4 teaspoon of matcha, but you can definitely add more for a bigger caffeine kick + a stronger matcha flavor. Yum!

• 1 - 2 teaspoons of Vanilla Mushroom Adaptogenic Protein from @moonjuice.

• 1 teaspoon Yin Power herbal tonic powder from @sunpotion.

• A dash of cinnamon, ginger, + cardamom.

• 6 oz Oat Milk (or almond milk)

• 2 oz water

🌿 I usually put the milk + water in the frother first and let it start warming up, then I add all the powders. Once the frother reaches the desired temperature, and everything is all frothy and warm, I just pour it into a mug and enjoy. ☕️🌷✨

❄️ One of the first scenes in A HISTORY OF WILD PLACES involves a red barn. Now whenever I see one, I look for other clues. Other hints that I’m close to the place that the characters in A HISTORY OF WILD PLACES were searching for.🌲

If you see the red barn, it means you’re close. You’re almost there. Keep going.....

LOOKY WHAT JUST SHOWED UP IN MY MAILBOX!!! 😱 Th

LOOKY WHAT JUST SHOWED UP IN MY MAILBOX!!! 😱 This little beauty is an ARC of my debut adult novel, A HISTORY OF WILD PLACES. . . and I am truly overwhelmed. 🌿 This story means so much to me—I started writing this book in 2017, before THE WICKED DEEP was even released—and to finally see it as a book-shaped thing, feels like a topsy turvy dream. 🖤 It’s a story I’ve waited a long time to see come to life, & although there are no witches in this book, I hope you guys will love it as much as I do. 🖤 This book is a mystery wrapped up in a psychological thriller... bound by threads of lies & more than a couple plot twists (as per usual 😉)

🦊🌲📖 I’ve gotten lots of questions about a pre-order campaign. Yes, I will be hosting a pre-order campaign & in an effort to make it available to more people, anyone who preorders the hardcover from ANY bookstore will be eligible. (There will be a U.S. campaign + an international one.) 🌿 I’ll be announcing details for the campaign in the coming months. 💕 You can preorder the book now, just hang onto your receipt/email/screenshot of your proof of purchase.

A shout out to @dmazzelladibosco for designing this incredible cover + James Lacobelli for art directing. It’s moody and dark and the PERFECT art for this story. 🌲

A HISTORY OF WILD PLACES publishes on December 7, 2021 from @atriabooks in the U.S.

The Spanish edition will actually be available sooner, on November 16th with @ediciones_urano.

💕 Thank you all for your support & patience waiting for this book! 🌲 I can’t wait for it to be in your hands. 🤗
