When I started to write Across a Broken Shore, the last thing on my mind was an award. Willa’s story felt special to me, and I wanted to honor that by writing the best book possible. Thank you @ippyawards for recognizing that hard work! It means a lot to me!🧡 . . . #acrossabrokenshore #ippyawards #yahistoricalfiction #historicalfiction #1936SanFrancisco #goldengatebridge🌉 #historicalbooks #historicalreads #willaandsam #writerlife #writingaward #instareads #yabooksta #yabookstagram #bookpic #igauthorlife @fluxbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWIppaAwHz/?igshid=1v5sgd8z88261

7 weeks until Across a Broken Shore is out!!! . . Today’s #MedicalMonday is how to care for a cold (circa 1937). Can’t decide if my favorite option is the hot lemonade or sleeping alone!

AuthorLifeMonth Day 28: What is Next? Coming November 5!! I’m so excited to introduce readers to my new cast of characters in ACROSS A BROKEN SHORE. Parents insistent on keeping up family tradition. Nosy, yet loving, brothers. A female physician who becomes both teacher and friend. Oh, and did I mention this all happens against the backdrop of building the Golden Gate Bridge? If you want to be immersed in 1936 San Francisco, I hope you’ll add AABS to your TBR! • • • #yareadersofinstagram #yareads #yawriter #yabooks #iwriteyahistorical #bookcommunity #bookdragon #bookobsessed #bookishlove #bookstack #writinglife #book2 #1936sanfrancisco #acrossabrokenshore #authorlifemonth #authorlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BubTRBxnSzV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rsom611cwrqn

AuthorLifeMonth Day 25: RESEARCH. Those of us who write historical fiction could probably talk for days about research. This is just a few of the books I read to research ACROSS A BROKEN SHORE. You can fall down a ton of rabbit-holes while working on a book, but it can also provide endless possibilities for story ideas!🧡 • • • #bookresearch #AcrossABrokenShore #1936SanFrancisco #bookgeeks #booknerds #bookobsessed #bookhoarder #iwriteya #yacommunity #writinglife #writingislife #iwritehistoricalfiction #writingcommunityofig #storytellers #yawritersofinstagram #yawriters #yabookstagram #authorlifemonth https://www.instagram.com/p/BuT29xinB8w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17fnr7vm2g8fr

AuthorLifeMonth Day 21: Greatest Writing Strength. I’m a very visceral writer. My hope is to put the reader right in the scene with my characters. I want them to see what they see. Smell what they smell. Feel what they feel. I find myself going back and reworking these passages a lot, but when I’m done I’m really proud of them.💙 • • • #iwriteyahistorical #acrossabrokenshore #1936SanFrancisco #iwriteya #yacommunity #yawriter #yareads #yabooks #bookquote #yabookcommunity #bookcommunity #writerlife #booklife #booksbooksbooks #bookobsessed #bookishlove #authors #authorlifemonth #authorlife #writetip https://www.instagram.com/p/BuJkM_jn_fq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u1ay8q7fsizy
