Hope you had a great Christmas! If you received books yesterday, you're winning. If you received The Sound of Violet specifically, your gift-giver has impeccable taste and possibly read my previous posts. Either way, hope you had a great Christmas.

Merry Christmas from the Wolf pack! Today, we celebrate the greatest gift—Emmanuel, God with us. May you feel His presence and love today. #christmas#christmas2025
That's how he entered our story. Christmas is about the greatest gift ever given, not wrapped in gold, but in swaddling clothes. That gift changes everything. Merry Christmas. May you know the peace, hope, and love that first filled that stable over 2,000 years ago. #christmas
On Christmas Eve, I think about the manger, a trough that became the first cradle for God as a baby. In our world that can feel chaotic and overwhelming, I love that God chose to enter our story not in a palace, but in a humble place I would never have placed our own baby!
Christmas sweater: shows I have excellent taste in everything except sweaters. Book: story I've been living with for over a decade. Photo: proof that authors are just regular people who also make questionable fashion choices during the holidays.

Winter Solstice is tomorrow: shortest day of the year. Perfect for reading because it gets dark at 4 PM, and suddenly you have no obligations except to find out what happens in Chapter 23.

Seven days until Christmas. If you're looking for last-minute gift ideas, might I suggest a book about a man who takes everything literally and a woman who should have been more literal? It's a gift that says, "I thought about you for at least 30 seconds while scrolling Amazon."
Writing tip: When you can't think of what happens next, eat some chocolate. If you still can't think of what happens next, eat more chocolate. Eventually, you'll either solve your plot problem or achieve a sugar high that simulates creativity. Win-win. #WritingTips#AuthorLife
"I want to be a Disney animator." That's what 7-year-old Mark Henn told people after watching Cinderella. Everyone said, "That's nice." 43 years later, he became a DISNEY LEGEND who animated some of the most beloved characters in film history.

Reader question: "What's your favorite pen?" Mine's whatever doesn't run out mid-book signing. Though I have a fondness for anything that makes my handwriting look 40% less like a doctor's prescription. So far they have failed... #authorlife
Saturday reading recommendation: Anything that makes you forget you have laundry to do. That's the real power of literature. The Sound of Violet qualifies. Your laundry will still be there on Monday. Probably. #reading#thesoundofviolet
Question: If you could only read one genre for the rest of your life, which would it be? Follow-up question: Would you still talk to people who chose differently? Asking for research purposes. #reading
Kirkus Reviews called The Sound of Violet "A heartwarming love story with standout characters that readers won't forget." I'm choosing to interpret "won't forget" as a good thing, not a persistent earworm that haunts you at 3 AM... #thesoundofviolet
Survived book launch week. My hand has muscle memory of signing my name. Pretty sure I could sign books in my sleep now. Which would make for an interesting sleepwalking incident. Didn't I make a movie about that? "The Sound of Violet" - now available everywhere books are sold.
The Sound of Violet makes a great Christmas gift! For people who like books. Or redemption. Or New York. Or... look, just buy it: https://t.co/AgE2Iiq0u3

Who's this furry fellow, and why was he at the Book Launch? This is Violet's stuffed bear, Theo. She stuffed spare dollars into him to save up for attending NYU someday. Next to him is the rose plant Shawn gave her. This Theo appeared in the movie! #thesoundofviolet
