How Books Saved my Life

When our awesome newsletter coordinator Travis Pennington sent this month’s Agents of the Roundtable question around, I opened it as usual with no idea that it would provoke such an emotional response in me. You won’t get it either. Not at first. Here’s the question. Read on to the answer. What were some of theContinue reading “How Books Saved my Life”

Hiatus

You may have noticed that the blog has been neglected since the new year. Unfortunately, my workload is such that for the time being, I’m going to have to put the blog on hiatus. It’s definitely been the best kind of insanity these past few weeks, but still, even finding the time to post aboutContinue reading “Hiatus”

Best of lists and a giveaway!

There have been a lot of crazy-awesome things going on around here keeping me too busy (for the moment) to post any new pithy and profound blogs. I hope to remedy that soon. In the meantime, I do have a list of Article & Guest Blogs I’ve done to date AND I’ve got suggestions ofContinue reading “Best of lists and a giveaway!”

Great News and Happy Book Birthdays!

I hope you all had a super-fantastic Thanksgiving, full of warmth, love, laughter and overstuffed bellies. Coming back from a long weekend is always a mixed blessing. You’re refreshed, you’re ready to go (unless you were trampled during any of the Black Friday sales, which I studiously avoided) and… Then you see the mountain ofContinue reading “Great News and Happy Book Birthdays!”
