Halloween Gives Kids the Gift of Tradition, Outside of Religion by North Carolina Book Blogger Reading with Frugal Mom

I don’t remember how my husband Chris and I ended up with six-month-old twins dressed as vegetables—a chili pepper and a pea pod, to be precise—the first Halloween we were parents. I’ll admit the whole thing sounds very much like the result of a middle-of-the-night-nursing and Internet-browsing session. Regardless, they were pretty cute, as far as produce goes, and we wanted to show them off.

Sherlock Holmes, My Dad, and Me

June 16, 2017 by Melissa Leave a Comment

It took me seven years to land my first publishing contract— which is actually not terrible by industry standards. But it meant that I’d had the dedication on my first novel picked out for at least that long: To my dad, who taught me to write.
