On “Last” Chances and Changing Perspectives

I’m away from home for three whole days (!) with just my doggo for company, and I’m having all the feels, mostly because the last time I was in this little town in southwestern Ohio, I was in a very different place professionally. I came here ten years ago, nervously leaving my toddler and baby […]

I’m “On Submission.” Here’s what that means.

Hey friends, I have some exciting news to share. I’m officially “on submission” with a brand-new project, a middle grade novel! I’ve been explaining what this means to friends and family, so I thought it might be a good time to do a post on the nitty-gritty of this process. As you might expect, books […]

The New York Times Loves Adrian (and Chloe, especially Chloe)!

The New York Times Loves Adrian (and Chloe, especially Chloe)!

Long, long ago I was working a job in marketing/PR, and I decided I would never be happy in it, when what I really wanted to do was write stories. I remember telling my husband, “Who knows? Maybe someday I’ll have a book reviewed in the New York Times.” That was how I decided I […]
