Craft Room Adventures
Over the last decade, my yarn stash has grown to gargantuan proportions. I could run a store out of my craft room, except that my craft room is a horrible mess. Was a horrible mess. It was kind of sad because being in my craft room normally makes me happy. But over the past year

Hidden Legacy Covers: The Unexpected Edition
Nevada’s trilogy was published in Israel with these beautiful covers. Readers loved the covers, but of course, someone will always complain about something.

Happy Holidays and a Little Snippet
We are preparing for the holidays at Casa Andrews and we will be a bit scarce over the holidays. Here is a small snippet of RUBY FEVER. “Is it haunted?” Oh, for the love of… “No, Arabella.” My sister squinted at the monstrosity of a house growing closer as the SUV sped up the gently

Nothing Changed
I was looking for something and came across this post from 2009. Literally nothing has changed. I am slightly shocked. 2009 Okay. I am going to open the document, use my supreme mental powers, and the book will write itself. Me – knitting. The book – writing itself. We’re all clear on everything, right? Everybody
