Each stage of this novel is one step closer to putting it in your hands. My editor just handed Numbered back to me with such wonderful words about it, and a few more tweaks until it’s ready. I’ve been working on this book for almost a year, and I can’t believe we’re already here! #numbered2019

California spring weather apparently includes thunderstorms, heavy rain, and a downpour of hail. I’m sitting inside with a blanket and my mini heater pointed at me. It’s May 19, Mother Nature, bring back the sun!

Carry on. I’m just freaking out and celebrating at the same time. #numbered2019

I just finished reading The Overstory, by Richard Powers, this year’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel. There are so many reasons why I love this book, and I’m still marinating with the story. The most profound thing about it are the many parallels. This includes the structure of the story. In one part, a character named Patricia describes the incredible way a forest is connected. Above ground, trees are separate, growing tall and wide as a singular tree. But underground, their roots are constantly reaching until they find the roots of another. Then those two trees fuse together, sharing their lives. Eventually, the forest of many trees is linked at the root. This is the same with this book. It’s made of many stories, all which seem unlinked at first. But keep reading because these stories are reaching for the others until they grasp hold and fuse together. But wait. This is the same as life. We’re all separate humans with our own story. You see where I’m going with this, right? This book is so much more than a story. It’s filled with insight that will have you looking around you and inside yourself in brand new ways, and open your eyes to the reality of what we’re doing to this planet. That, and you’ll never see trees the same way. There’s a reason why this book won the Pulitzer. When I first started reading it, I was under the impression this was just an ordinary story. But as I read, this book got under my skin and made me a part of the story. It was that deep. This is easily one of the best books I’ve ever read. #theoverstory #pulitzerprize #bookstagram

Happy Mother’s Day! 💕
