Here's an actual image of my
writing process. Just keep
flapping your flippers. Because turtles.
"The first draft is the child's draft, where you let it all pour out and then let it romp all over the place, knowing that no one is going to see it and that you can shape it later." -- Anne Lamott
Why Do Writers Love Pre-orders?
The Train to Santa Fe will officially hit bookstore shelves on August 25, 2026. Pre-ordering means you'll get the book around the day it comes out, or you can pick it up in person at one of my events. Pre-orders help bookstores plan for events. Also, much like online reviews, book club sharing, and library requests, pre-orders help build overall excitement for a forthcoming title. To all those who are giving The Train to Santa Fe a warm welcome -- thank you.
