Book Review: Left Neglected by Lisa Genova
This was a super quick read. I finished it in about two days, but there was a lot to the book. I absolutely enjoyed it. I didn’t feel terribly connected to the characters, but I did feel connected to the situations and tragedies that they all were going through. Sarah Nickerson has it all –…

What It’s Really Like
A lot of the time I get from people the “I don’t know how you do it all” comment. And the truth is, I really don’t either, but I’ll give you a glimpse into what it’s really like. It’s 3:30 AM. The dogs are snoring on the floor. My husband is snoring on the couch.…

Just Me, Myself and my $500 Amazon Cart
Writing a dissertation is hard and it’s also expensive. It’s also terrifying how close to the end I am and how close I am to running out of funding. It also doesn’t help that I have to buy any book I need for my dissertation because I have to not only annotate it, but I also will need…

Molly Bags
Back in the tumult of my 20’s, I remember looking at happy couples and thinking, how do those people get like that? How, in this crazy world do you possibly find someone that compliments you so completely that it almost becomes like you exist in your own world with them? It really was something that…

Thank You for Leaving Me
I forgot to share with you that a few months ago I published again with Thought Catalog. I think getting engaged has made me soft these days and the emotions over the past couple of months have been strange and weird! Has this happened to anyone else? I think I have cried, like really cried during…

Here is just a little sneak peek of what I am currently working on. I am in heavy re-editing mode and am expecting a spring, but more possibly summer release: Olivia Cardin has been living her fantasy—she spends her days making art and her nights with her dreamy boyfriend, Jack, who just may very well…
