It's my birthday & my new novel is here!

Published: Sat, 12/10/16

Oh hi...

Today is my birthday! I'm turning 32 years old at 7:11pm Pacific Standard Time tonight.

It has been a glorious day so far. I woke up at 4:30am and cleaned my entire apartment, including mopping the floor with my brand new mop (a romantic gift from Brandon — haha! He knows me so well. Nothing brings me INTENSE JOY like having a sparkly-clean floor.) After that, I had a fantastic workout, followed by a delicious brunch, and then a visit to the hair salon. Later, I'm going to soak in a hot tub. And then of course... CAKE. Basically: my idea of a perfect day.

Also, guess what? My new novel is here!

It's called SO THIS IS THE END. It's 115 pages long. It's digital (PDF) and you can read it on your phone, tablet, or computer. Also, for the rest of December, it's FREE. Why? Because I said so. 

You can download it HERE.

SO THIS IS THE END is a love story with a tiny bit of sci-fi swirled into the mix. The story was inspired by the question, "If you knew that you only had 24 hours to live, what would you do with that time?" and also, "What if you met the love of your life... on the last day of your life?" I loved writing this novel and I hope you enjoy it, too. Oh, and I should mention, this book is NOT FOR KIDS. It includes some pretty sexy scenes and other grown-up themes. So please don't read this as a bedtime story to your toddler. Thanks.

I hope you're having a lovely weekend so far, wherever you may be. 

Happy holidays and merry everything!

PS. Once a year, I release a new "love list" — aka, a list of tools, books, music, projects and people that I love and recommend. Here’s my list for 2017. (I know, I know, it’s not quite 2017 yet, but it’s right around the corner! Close enough.) Enjoy the list! I hope you discover something that delights you, entertains you, or makes your day a little better than it was before.
 
PPS. Fairly soon, I'll have a big announcement about some new workshops, ghostwriting services, and other cool things that we can do together in 2017. I'll send you an email when I'm ready to reveal all the details, of course. (I'm excited. :)

PPPS. My song of the day: "Shine" by Years & Years. Also, my theme song and official motto for the New Year is: "No Limit."
