Summer's Over? Really?

Hello Dear Readers~

Ok so I admit I have been slacking when it comes to blogging, but I have also been on sabbatical since late June--I do not apologize! It's been a busy summer in every way for me, and here are some updates as to what I've been doing writing wise.

I've been busy writing for INDIE READER and if you clicked there, you'll see what I mean! Alike But Indies have taken off and have become really fun to create--stay tuned for a bevy more of them on the way.

Also I have been compiling upcoming romances for USA TODAY's Happily Ever After Book Blog which has been really cool too. Here they are by season and next up will be for the holidays:





Today I sipped the first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season after a nice long run in the park. This is my last week off and although I look forward to doing more work with students, I'm uber-grateful for the learning experience and study in emotion that this summer has been. More news will probably be coming soon. Have an amazing Autumn~

Books and Leaves,
K

Spring... Almost!!

Winter Winter Winter! OK so we have had a rough one--weather and all around. I am way beyond excited to jump back on here just in time to welcome spring! I am so ready to ditch the boots and coats and just luxuriate in the idea of most days being spent primarily outdoors!

So here is where I've been...

I had the pleasure of completing in Jan/Feb a 30 hour Yin Yoga Training at Powerflow Yoga, NJ with two awesome teachers Deb and Crystal of http://www.yinsideyoga.com Check them out--they rock and there are more trainings coming up if you are like me and need BALANCE in your LIFE!


I hope to start teaching Yin again in the near future, stay tuned here and also HERE for more updates on that coming soon! In the meantime I have the pleasure of subbing a gentle but powerful class on Mondays that is keeping me on my toes.

In writing news, I'll just link a few things here that are most recent:

If you Liked The Girl On The Train, check out this ALIKE BUT INDIE which also made it to Amazon's Omnivoracious Book Review Pretty cool :) 




If you Saw the movie and are still a fan of 50 Shades of Grey, CHECK THESE OUT 

If you liked Still Alice (Julianne Moore won an Oscar as Alice that's right!) then check out these AWESOME INDIES and remember this... Still Alice itself began as an indie!


Stay tuned for more writerly news on the horizon--I just got approval for sabbatical--what beats that? NOTHING!!! Happy almost Spring everyone. Enjoy those flowers popping up!

Peace and Pages~

HAPPY FALL DEAR READERS! 

Tis the season for all things Autumn as leaves turn crunchy and the breeze calls for a fleece. It's new notebooks and Pumas, back to school and backpacks, wellies and lunch boxes. As we prep for the pre-holiday holidays, I look forward to picking pumpkins with the little one, decorating our house and of course walking extra blocks to prepare for November feasting.



Teaching in the Fall is my favorite. Students are crashing from Summer yet still a bit buoyed by feeling the surf and sand envelop them for so many lazy days. They prep for shopping in NYC and fashion gets a turbo boost as boots are sported and skinny jeans sashay down 5th Ave. The city is alive with twinkles of anticipation as holiday items grace shelves and the ice rink is built at Bryant Park. It's the time when we all count how many paychecks till New Years and vote for our favorite things of this one. The season is elation. It is pompoms on ice skates shined and sharpened. It is scarves and my favorite neff beanie and sauntering miles of city without the sunburn.


Writing Fall is perhaps the most powerful time--for me and for many. There is so much change and though it may seem like trees are going to rest and the green turns brown, it's also cider and donuts and hay and mums. It's hot chocolate and toddys and cinnamon spice everything. Though the people may slow to a crawl breathing deep the air before storms, this is a time of gratitude. We are thankful for the busy season at work, the breather betwixt hot and cold, and everything else that comes with the clarity of now.


Projects abound for us all. Here is my most recent ALIKE BUT INDIE for Big Little Lies. Enjoy and let me know if you have suggestions for Autumnal pages--the very best kind to indulge in!

Peace and PSL,
Keri

Hey World Happy Summer!

Summer used to be my least favorite season. Hiding in the air conditioning, dreading the subway, wishing for more than one week off. But I have to say, being a mom... the outdoors is pretty much saving my sanity. BBQing and gardening and taking first steps in the grassy wonderland with frolicking pups... Well that and books. Here is what I've been up to this summer.

If you love Jennifer Weiner like I do, check this out! (An Alike but Indie for ALL FALL DOWN)

Are you a Stephen King fiend like me? This one's for you!

It's summertime and the livin's easy, so I don't have much to add except that I'm blessed with more writing time and am loving having a backyard again. I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful summer and stay tuned for more writerly news in the fall.



Peace and picnics,
Keri
