This book is about Appalachian women. I was born This book is about Appalachian women. I was born and raised in southern West Virginia. It’s a rural area, filled with vast forests, soaring mountains, and old Appalachian culture. There’s something mystical about those mountains, with the mist, the isolation, the history, and the culture. It’s the perfect place for the seeds of imagination to germinate. This book takes me back to this place. What book reminds you of your childhood home or current home?
Who's your favorite YA character, either from a no Who's your favorite YA character, either from a novel you've read or your own? Rowan is my favorite character from the Rowan Slone series. By the end of writing the third book, I felt like she was a real person—the line between reality and fiction became blurred after all that time spent writing her story. Can any other authors relate to this? Here's a bit about Rowan: When the novels start, Rowan is 16. She’s petite of frame with long light brown hair. She is insecure about what she feels is her boyish-looking body, as well as the numerous scars on her arms from years of self-harm. Rowan's life has not been without tribulations but despite it all, she still stays hopeful and finds the people she can count on. She can count on: her grandmother, her best friend Jess, and Mike, her..."friend"... okay, maybe they're more than friends! She loves animals, and is very intelligent with big hopes for her life. Learn more about the many trials and tribulations of Rowan Slone and her journey through the trilogy at the link in my bio.
Happy Thanksgiving, to those who are celebrating, Happy Thanksgiving, to those who are celebrating, from my family to y'all's. I am thankful for my family, immediate and extended. I don’t have too many friends but the ones that I have are amazing and I am thankful for them. Oh and let’s not forget my pets. And all of ya’ll. Thanks for being here and I hope you have an amazing holiday. What are your plans for the day?
We used to have an amazing Goldendoodle named Bail We used to have an amazing Goldendoodle named Baileypup. She lived almost 17 years and when she died, I was heartbroken and it was hard to want another pet. But I love animals and really feel their healing power, especially dog’s healing power. When I started to crave that companionship again, i dragged my husband to the local rescue where Lila (our then soon-to-be dog) was being bullied by her brothers and sisters in the open area that they were playing in. I scooped her up into my arms, and my husband scooped her out of mine. He wouldn’t commit to adopting her, but he also wouldn’t put her down, even when it was closing time. We left without her, but he called the rescue as soon as they opened the next day to make sure we could come and get her. Lila-da-Bean entered our lives. She is, truly, a perfect dog. Do you have any pets?
This is the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in West This is the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, WV. It’s also the setting for Generation Annihilation, my work in progress. The original hospital was designed to house 250 souls. It was open to patients in 1864 and reached its peak in the 50's while housing a whopping 2,400 patients in overcrowded and generally gross conditions. This setting is rich with history. Would you visit the Asylum?
It was thrilling to release the last chapter of Ro It was thrilling to release the last chapter of Rowan Slone’s story to y’all last week but there are other books coming and Lila, AKA pup extraordinaire, is almost as excited as me for the future. Animals can be great emotional and office support. Do you have an animal or reading writing assistant?
A Life, Freed is officially out!! 📚 Here’s A Life, Freed is officially out!! 📚 Here’s what Kirkus Review had to say about it: 'Rowan Slone is back for the final installment of the trilogy: Will she finally get to experience the sense of belonging that she has been craving her whole life? Rowan is in her freshman year at Berkeley Mountain College in rural West Virginia. After living with her ex-boyfriend’s family during her senior year of high school, Rowan is now renting an apartment with her best friend, Jess, who has an infant son, Jacob. While they intended to create the family unit they each so craved, things turn sour quickly. Rowan is a full-time student, working 20 hours a week, in a new relationship with Shane, and helping to care for Jacob as well. Meanwhile, Jess is overwhelmed by the responsibilities of caring for a baby and feels like her life is over at 18. Conflicts arise, and Rowan’s life is once again stormy. The author explores with candor the process of therapy and the weight of always trying to hold everything together. Themes of adoption, same-sex relationships, and religious extremism are also touched upon. Unfortunately, the writing feels dense at times, and Rowan’s first-person narration is occasionally rambling. Although there is some recap of earlier events, readers unfamiliar with Rowan’s story will gain more from having read the previous books. Main characters are presumed to be White. An intimate look into the maze of a young woman’s mind and relationships." Thanks for reading this review and don’t forget A Life, Freed is available on pre-order now at the link in my bio. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #amreading #amreadingya #yaauthor #youngadult #amreadingyoungadult #youngadultbooks #youngadultreads #youngadultreaders #readerlife #readerslife #amreadingfiction #bookseries #writersgonnawrite #readersgonnaread

You can’t help anyone if you can’t help yourse You can’t help anyone if you can’t help yourself. It’s great to take care of others but to really take care of those around us, we have to prioritize ourselves. Weekends are great for rest and renewal. What did you do to take care of yourself over the weekend?
(Trigger Warning) The emotional trauma of abusive (Trigger Warning) The emotional trauma of abusive and dysfunctional family relationships is a reality many children and teenagers face. One of the many reasons why I wrote the Rowan Slone series is so that these difficult but important subjects can be addressed in a safe and relatable way. As an addictions counselor, I’ve seen my share of teenagers dealing with pain and emotional suffering. Many ease the pain through acts of self-harm and cutting. My hope is that those who are suffering will be able to use Rowan’s story as a source of hope and strength—hope that there is a future worth fighting for, and strength to take one step at a time. If you or someone you love has dealt with self-harm, teen pregnancy, addiction issues, or family dysfunction, then the Rowan Slone series might be for you. The third book in the Rowan Slone series is on pre-order now. #yabooks #yabookstagram #yabook #yabookstagrammer #yabookseries #yabookclub #yabookblogger #yabookquotes #yabookreccomendation #yawriter #yawriters #yawritersofinstagram #yaauthor #yaauthors #yaauthorsofinstagram #yaauthorlife #readersgonnaread #readerforlife #readersofinstagram #teenissues #teenmentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #teenagedmentalhealth #teenagers #teenpregnancy

It's every writer's dream to have their book or se It's every writer's dream to have their book or series turned into a movie, right? My top pick to play my main character Rowan in the Rowan Slone Series would be Emma Watson. If she weren't available, Kristen Stewart would also do a great job. Rowan has a certain broody, serious, tortured nature that I could see both of these women pulling off. Who can you see playing the main character in your novel or a recent book you read?
A lesson from the Rowan Slone series: Being resil A lesson from the Rowan Slone series: Being resilient is one of those hard but necessary things needed to live full, interesting lives. Throughout the course of the Rowan Slone series, Rowan must overcome many harsh challenges. It is her ability to lean into her resilience that sees her through time and time again. In my other life as a therapist, I've come to realize that it's the way my patients use their ability to be resilient that ends up being a major factor in determining their success. Do you have a favorite resilient character from a YA series or book?
