Real Life Royal Inspiration
Do I get inspired from the real-life royals? Short answer: Absolutely! I talked a little about this in my post on research, but a question on a recent post prompted today’s post. Carla asked me: “Has the royal romance and wedding of Harry and Meghan given you any ideas for your series?” The answer is a

Saturday Reminder
Here’s a quick Saturday reminder: ~xoxo Marianne This is Post 75 of 100 as part of the #100DaysofMKAuthorLife.
Weekend Plans – Week 11
It’s the weekend! Now that I’ve finished up Rush and Ripple (Yay!), my weekend goals have shifted, at least for the next couple weeks. I won’t start writing my next book until July, which gives me time to catch up on ALL the things I set aside so I could finish the books. The pre-orders

Happy Dance Time!
Why am I celebrating today? Because I’ve just finished – and I mean FINISHED – the first two books in the Seaside Valleria series, Rush and Ripple! Whoo hoo! The pre-orders aren’t up yet, but they should be in the next several days. I’ll do a post when they are. So when are they releasing?
I’m An Author
Today, I’m stating the obvious… I’m an author. I think about author-related stuff several times over the course of a day. Sometimes it’s about the menial tasks any business owner needs to do (because being an author is a business) like accounting and other admin. Other times, it’s about the stories swirling in my head.
Tuesday Thoughts
In keeping with my recent posts on self-care, here’s a Tuesday Reminder: Sometimes it seems like a constant struggle, doesn’t it? Reaching for that glimmer of happiness, grabbing it and holding it tight before it disappears again. Yesterday was a good day, a great day, in fact. I finally finished testing the Rush ebook (hurray!)
Progress vs Procrastination
Today I argue that procrastination can be necessary for progress. Last week was tough. I’ve learned when I have those sorts of weeks that I need to take time for self-care. But… What about the book? What about the publishing date I have in mind? What about this? What about that? I need to work,

Weekend Plans & Progress – Week 10
Though the weekend’s nearly over, here’s a glimpse at my goals and progress. Right now I’m focusing on Rush and Ripple, the first two in the Seaside Valleria series. I’ve finished edits for both and now it’s time to test the ebooks and finalize them! I want to release BOTH this month (eep!) but I

You Are Not Alone
This is the most personal post I’ve written. I am putting a trigger warning on this post, so please consider that before reading.* I debated posting this. I always want to create a positive experience for my readers (whether that’s readers of the blog or my books), and this is a very heavy subject. But,
#ALLCAPS
Congratulations to the Washington Capitals for winning the Stanley Cup! I am SO excited about this win and this was just the dose of happy I needed yesterday. ~xoxo Marianne This is Post 67 of 100 as part of the #100DaysofMKAuthorLife.
