I recently turned 40 and celebrated by having a tea party with some gal pals. My parents and sister-in-law sent an awesome shadow box with highlights from my life so far. It was a good birthday and got me thinking... what's next? Well, on the writing front I have a new book that's been submitted to publishers for consideration. There is a sprinkling of mystery and romance in it. I'm patiently waiting to see what happens with that story.  And I just returned from a trip to San Diego. We visited my parents and took the kiddo to  Legoland . I was also thrilled to meet up with an old writer friend from college.  So after catching up about motherhood and life since college, my friend and I decided to try to co-write something. I'm excited to see how the story will take shape as we work together. I will keep you all posted:)  She brought me a gift. It was a video we made together in college called "Shoe Talk". It was all about how our taste in s...

Her parents’ toxic divorce has taught her love is nothing but a sinister fairytale. So every summer she parties, hooks up, abandons her lover before dawn, and repeats.

And when Sydney’s need for a summer boy results in her falling into bed with...

An author friend let me know that Canva was a good site for making book teasers. I tried it today and came up with a new one for Dating Maggie. It's nice to be able to make graphics for free without a design background!

My main character goes on lots of dates. And this guy has some good ideas for songs that might be playing in the background on some of those dates...maybe just the good ones. Check it out if you need inspiration for an upcoming date night of your own:)

I was thrilled to find another good review this morning up at Jeri's Book Attic Blog.  Here's an excerpt:  Review  :   With "Dating Maggie" by M.J. Greenway you get one of those books that first seems like this typical girly book, but then you figure out that it is so much more... It´s a story about Maggie who easily lets you become a part of a story about dating. But you know what? It´s not just this cheesy story that you would expect from a blurb like this. You get introduced to Maggie who is such a likeable character-one that makes it easy to connect with the story. The same I can say about Cliff. He is a character that got married very young. A marriage that does not make him as happy as he should be which is why he gets divorced.  So what did the talented author do with these two authentic characters?  She lets them create this unique story that makes you not just smirk, but also laughing and crying at the same time. ...
