Multi-genre author. 📚BECOMING CHARLOTTE CORDAY, a YA historical fantasy coming 4/27/2027 from Apprentice House Press

Since there’s no simple answer to “what it feels l Since there’s no simple answer to “what it feels like to publish a book 20 years in the making,” I started a new Substack series, where I talk about my history with writing, where the idea for Becoming Charlotte Corday came from, and all the mountains and valleys I experienced in working to get this book out into the world… a book that was sparked by a simple question: who exactly was Charlotte Corday?But before we get to Charlotte Corday, I should begin with a short story about myself: the author… and that means going back to the very beginning.Read part one over on Substack (linked in my bio and story). #LizsWritingJourney #WritingLife #WritingMindset #PublishingABook

As the summer season comes to a close, I’m working As the summer season comes to a close, I’m working in my yard, thinking about how I didn’t do as much as I wanted this summer (especially in terms of maintenance AND spending time just enjoying our outdoor space)… but it’s still beautiful. And creativity is like that too. No, I still haven’t finished the draft of book two in my Becoming Charlotte Corday series, but I worked on some really cool creative projects this summer. AND I turned in my final draft of Becoming Charlotte Corday. So shout it out. What things did you do this summer that you’re proud of? #WritingLife #MomLife #Creativity #BackyardLiving
