    Praise for Queen of None from Publishers Weekly

    September 28, 2020 / 1 Comment

    You know I’m pleased when they call me clever. The review for Queen of None from Publishers Weekly just went live, and I’m still grinning. Is the validation required for writing? No. Does it help? Absolutely. Are things right now a trash fire and this is a much-needed moment of fresh air? You betcha.  “…a layered, engaging retelling sure to please fans of the Arthurian tales.” Publishers Weekly I wrote a bit of a longer piece on Facebook about this, and the review process, so I’ll paraphrase here: your writing career is not one review, or even ten reviews. If you want a career in writing, you’ve got to learn…

    Kirkus Reviews on Queen of None

    September 17, 2020 / 2 Comments

    As publication time comes nearer for Queen of None, reviews are coming in! I was thrilled this morning to find the Kirkus Reviews take on the book: A captivating look at the intriguing figures in King Arthur’s golden realm. Kirkus Reviews I just submitted the last pass on the novel, as well, so the timing was pretty cool. I have so many thoughts right now on this, given the state of everything right now… but it’s truly exciting to see this book resonating. Yes, all books mean a great deal to the writers who craft them. Queen of None is particularly dear, in ways that I can’t quite articulate at…

    So Your Child Is Waiting for a Bed at a Psychiatric Facility in the USA… Again

    September 14, 2020 / No Comments

    The first time you take your child to the ER for a psychotic break, you’re a wreck. A living wreck. They ask you tons of questions. They ask him tons of questions. You can’t think. You see their faces, the grief and pity and apology mixed up into an almost unmanageable expression. Almost automatically, you answer their questions about his history: the meltdowns, the violence, the diagnosis, the medications, the daily life. Who else is at home? What’s the family history?  “There just aren’t enough psychiatric beds in North Carolina.” You spend ten days in and out of that hospital, by his side, as he endures what you never wish…

    Driven Through Distraction: How a Global Pandemic and TikTok BROUGHT Me TO AN ADHD Diagnosis

    September 12, 2020 / 2 Comments

    I can’t remember a time in my life where I didn’t feel fundamentally different from my peers. This is only slightly surprising to people who know me. Generally, when people describe me they use words like passionate, enthusiastic, creative, quirky, eclectic, colorful, and ambitious. But I also hear phrases like, “Is there anything you can’t do?” and “How do you it all” and “I just don’t know how you do it.” That’s never helped me much in feeling like one of the club. But then again, I don’t think I’d meet the criteria for said club. Usually, I just say, “I don’t watch TV” or “I hate being bored.” But…
