Give me a deeply flawed person any day. Those are the people I wish to spend time with and get to know. lorihodges.com/blog/f/deepl...

Memoir readers, check out the new book, Shaking in the Forest by Lori Hodges

I discovered the fantasy genre this year and it opened a whole new world of books and led to a banner year of reading in 2024. Holy Moly! #booksky #Goodreadsyearinbooks

A few of my 5-star reads in 2024. #Goodreadsyearinbooks #booksky

Many of us are trying to meet our reading goal for the year and we are just don't know if we'll make it. Boy do I have a deal for you. It is a quick read, it has tips on dealing with stress and trauma. The whole package. AND, you can get it quickly in the mail! What are you waiting for? #booksky

Resharing this piece from my newsletter Civil Discourse earlier this week in case you missed it while you were stuffing your turkey (or whatever). I get the burnout, the anger, the disgust with everything Trump. But we cannot afford to look away right now. joycevance.substack.com/p/not-broken

I just spent the last few months working with a PR Firm to market my book, Shaking in the Forest. Here are the things I learned along the way... lorihodges.com/blog/f/getti...

I started being regularly published when I was 25. I didn't make my first dollar writing until I was 30. I didn't sell my first novel or screenplay until I was 35. Many of you hadn't even heard of anything I'd written until I was over 40. You have time. There is no expiration date on writers.

Alternatively if you can't punch them, leave their Social Media sites.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

People are a lot like books except I look forward to books showing up at my front door unannounced

Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Just thought of this and it is happening
