Pop the Bronze Balloon Release Day!February 18th, 2020

3 months to go.

Guys. I found the cutest coffee shop this weekend. I mean look at this wall! The vibe at Fuego is urban cozy, the baristas are so great to talk to, and the chai lattes are the best I’ve ever had. And they’ve got the latte art perfected too! My daughter’s adorable friend from Ohio came to Rochester this weekend so we explored Downtown on Saturday. Translated, I tagged along and took pictures of them! But seriously it was so fun seeing our city from a tourist’s perspective. I’d almost forgotten how many great places are here. Do you guys have a favorite coffee shop? Let me know because I love to discover new ones! • • • • • • #Coffeeshop #Rochester #RochesterNY #ExploreRochester #Rochestercoffee #coffeeisfuel #coffeeislife #coffeeislove #fuegocoffeeroasters #ROC #ROCwriters #livingawriterslife #lattelover #authorsofinstagram #downtownrochester #upstateNY #highfalls #visitrochester

Book Giveaway Winner!✨ Thank you so much to all of you who entered my book giveaway. I wish I could pick more than one winner right now but I guess I’ll just have to do this again soon. I appreciate all the shares, tags, and follows so much... truly! Congratulations, @cbrantner Book Mail is about to magically appear on your doorstep! Please DM me your address within 24 hours and I’ll send your copies of Spin the Golden Light Bulb and Flip the Silver Switch out right away! In case you’re wondering, this is not my front door.

I love them all! • • • • • • • • #bookmail #booksarelife #bookgifts #bookwinner #tbrpile #whatshouldiread #kidlit #mglit #stemfiction #bookish #doorsofig #bostonstreets #boston #Rocwriter #bookcommunity #booksarelove #booksarefun #booksarecool

Watching my kids in their element and seeing how happy they are is the best thing in the world. It makes missing them a little bit easier when they’re away from home. Adam’s college cross country team raced today in the conference championship and I was so happy to see it! So inspiring to know that his hard work has paid off. Such a great reminder too for me to keep working, keep dreaming the big dreams even when the work gets tough. So here I am, reminding you to do the same! • • • • • • • #collegemom #momlife #runner #sons #crosscountryrunner #teamwork #dreambig #Saturday #family #familyiseverything #livingawriterslife #RochesterNY #authorlife #amwriting #goals #goalsetter #ROCwriter

Happy Halloween, from me... and my favorite costumed characters! The Crimson Five’s skit was one of my favorite scenes to write and their costumes were so much fun to think up. Need a last minute costume idea? I have five: •Kia: a dreamy-eyed little girl in pigtails, yellow overall shorts, and 10 rings •Ander: a silly dancing jester in baseball pants, a vest with pointed shoulders, and a jester’s hat •Jillian: a dramatic townswoman in a sparkly pink flapper dress, pearls, long white gloves, and a feather boa •Mare: a bratty teen in a mini skirt, boots, choker necklace, and snapping gum •Jax: an eccentric gatekeeper in a black top hat, cape, and very serious face. Or you could always dress up as my personal favorite, their team preceptor: bubbly Seraphina, who would never be seen without a purple outfit of any type, purple platform heels, purple lipstick, and purple nail polish. Have a fun day, everyone...I hope you see lots of creative costumes tonight! I’ll be back on here tomorrow with details of The Crimson Five book giveaway. I’m so excited to share more books with you! • • • • • #halloweencostume #halloweencostumes #halloween🎃 #characters #halloweencharacters #costume #costumeideas #TheCrimsonFive #middlegradebooks #kidlit #middlegradefiction #parents #teachers #kids #kidsbooks #trickortreat #SpintheGoldenLightBulb #dressup #happyhalloween

Tomorrow is Halloween and I’ve yet to get any pumpkins. I think I’ve failed miserably as a human! But I do have gobs of candy ready for the big night tomorrow. Do I get partial credit for that? I can’t bear to think of not having them on my front step when the costumed cuties ring our doorbell though, so it looks like I’ll be scrambling tonight! I mentioned a few weeks ago that I’ll be doing a Spin the Golden Light Bulb & Flip the Silver Switch book giveaway. Well, I’m finalizing the details now so stop back on Nov. 1st. I’ll be posting about it then. Books make great gifts for kids but also for classroom teachers and librarians. If you have any on your list, be sure to check it out! • • • • • #Teachers #Librarians #SixthGrade #Fifthgrade #Fourthgrade #kidlit #middlegradefiction #STEAM #STEM #books #kidbooks #kidslovebooks #kidlitgivaway #series #bookish #booklove #giveaway #freebooks #STEMeducation #teamwork #creativity #odysseyofthemind #creativity #creativethinking #booknerd #classroombooks #filltheclassroom
