Throw back to the time when one could actually enjoy a coffee in a piazza or just anywhere, amongst others who similarly love good coffee and good companionship.

THE BEACH + SHOTGUN LOVESONGS

Chaffing at the confines of St.Paul, 3 friends upend their life to head west. A diverse collection of strangers shape their beliefs, relationships, the place called home and what it means to realize the person you envision becoming. #PitMad #A #LF

Feminist JEKYLL/HYDE & SIX OF CROWS
It’s easy to forgive yourself the things you remember; it’s harder indeed when the only links between you & the sins of your past are a ghostly doppelgänger, a fire-scarred orphan, & the whispered refrain, “Weep for me”

RAGGED EDGE OF NIGHT x THE GONDOLA MAKER
A Cali fishing village is forever changed when Italy turns enemy during WWII. LOW HEAVEN explores history, friendship, and faith across cultures through the little known evacuation and internment of Italians in America. #PitMad #A #HF #LF

On a doomed-from-the-start family trip cross country, a long buried trauma surfaces for 15 YO Addy. How will she find her strength, her voice, her courage to change the course of her life?

Powerful poem by Ellen Bass in Lit Hub, called 'Grizzly'. Loved reading it, especially under my photos of two black bears that I have hung up on my wall, where I love to write. #amreading #poetry

My new blog post on falling in love with Wyoming.

"We didn’t know where we wanted to be in Wyoming, but just that we wanted to be in Wyoming, and we wanted it ALL."

@PTMissCreative @AuthorAlexBaile Thanks for the rewteet! When I began to study using comps for querying agents, it said to use contemporary novels, and stay away from famous, universally loved ones - so On The Road is def. a comp of my book, but I try hard not to compare myself to Kerouac (but i'll take it!) :)

Asher, a 20-something American living in Tel Aviv yearns for the country he ran away from. Leon, his Swiss best friend, is desperate for an adventure. Together they take to the open road, driving across the American Southwest, each looking to cure their wanderlust #pitmad #a #lf

@LauraHChamb My pleasure! My apologies I did not see this until now!
