It’s salad season!!! Only in spring/summer do I make elaborate salads with homemade dressing. I get a lot of inspo from the cookbook Six Seasons, if anyone wants a recommendation! This salad is: arugula, salad turnips, radishes, orange, and avocado over labneh, with a citrus dressing & poppyseeds.

"Perhaps I will write—not to immortalize the pain, but to say that we were here… loving, dreaming, planting, drawing, singing, reading, writing… before our lives were reduced to a passing news bulletin or a cold political statement."

A non-fiction essay of mine was published with Riddle Fence! It details a year in my life when my ex-husband had a psychotic break. I’m immensely proud of this essay and so grateful to RF for seeing its merit. CW: psychosis, domestic violence, trauma. riddlefence.com/feature/smal...

A great teacher of how to write good instructions was Amelia Bedelia. I’m writing instructions for our dog sitter and put “feed dog on the rug by the back door.” Thought of Amelia Bedelia and changed it: “put food bowl on the rug by back door.”

An easy 5/5 stars for the INCREDIBLE The River Has Roots (the magic! The mystery! The romance! The sisters!) by @amalelmohtar.com. (Wynonna gives it a 1/5 because I wouldn’t let her eat it.)

Every time I go into my local bookstore, they think I have a book in and I don’t: it’s this one on preorder, and I can’t wait to have it IN MY HANDS! Preorder/go get this book next week!

Also, #PEI writer folks! There’s a fantastic workshop by an equally fantastic author about how to pitch your work, Sat Apr 5 at 4pm. As someone who is terrible at talking about my novels, I’m geeked for it. More info: www.peiwritersguild.com/events/pitch...

I love a non-traditional breakfast, and we made this squash congee for dinner the other day. Today, I had it for brekkie with an egg poached in it. 10/10. justinesnacks.com/honeynut-squ...
