Checking in with Sarah MacLean
I was lucky enough to get a chance to sit down and chat with Sarah MacLean while at RWA. (This was before she won the RITA for best historical romance!) I wanted to follow up with her. I’d talked to her in December of 2013 about her challenge to The New York Times and that paper’s…
What’s everyone reading?
So what’s everyone reading? I’m currently listening to Apples Never Fall by the always enjoyable Liane Moriarty.

the ask@AAR: Do you care how you look? (I do!)
I grew up in peak beauty tip times. Every magazine, newspaper, and friend’s older sister shared how to look better. Starting in junior high, my friends and I spent hours in the drugstore cosmetics aisles, spending our babysitting money on peppermint Lip Smackers, shimmery blue nail polish from Covergirl, Love’s Baby Soft, and Great Lash…
