As I flitted around to various holiday celebrations, I started to notice a trend, people like to talk about their latest TV binge obsession. I like to binge TV too, but over my holiday break I binged something better. I binged books!

Women's History Month! Another reason to love March! So, let's talk about women, specifically women writers! I know I'll probably write tons of blog posts on women this month.

In case you’re wondering, November 1, 2016 is National Calzone Day, National Author’s Day, National Brush Day, and National Family Literacy Day. Guess which one I’m going to write about?

Obviously, since I am a newly published author (The Travelers, check it out!) and avid reader, I am more excited about National Author’s Day than National Brush Day. Therefore, I want to celebrate authors and their fantastic thoughts and ideas.
