Thanksgiving scenes from our familyâhalf of whom were on a quail plantation in South Georgia with the other half with their other grandparents in Missouri, starting their day by helping fix meals for the homeless. Hope your day was as blessed as ours. #turkeyday2022
Happy Thanksgiving from two of my fave boysâBoomerang Boy and Tater, who enjoyed some snuggle time last night. #puppylove #sonsandpuppies
Sharing this stunning photo Boomerang Boy took at the end of a day on the quail plantation he works at in Southwest Georgia. This is Fred, one of the English cockers who are used to retrieve quail. Heâs on one of the plantationâs mule-drawn wagons. #autumn #quailhunting #gardenandgun #southernoutdoors
My friendship with @lisascottoline has lasted waaaay longer than any of her multiple marriages, so it is appropriate to receive her newest upcoming historic fiction #loyaltynovel. Which has something to do with Italy and the Mafia, and Iâm trying not to view her somewhat sinister note with trepidation..but she also included some delish limoncello cookies which I plan to devour along with Loyalty, which is out March 28. #bookishfriends #evileye #italiangirl #historicalfiction #loyaltynovel

These two got gussied up for the middle school dance today. One was thrilled and the other not-so-much. #happymollydays #griffnmols #schooldaze
My phone served me up this memory from ten years ago today. Sue Grafton was a legend, an inspiration and the first person who told me, at the writing workshop where she was my teacher, âyou can do this. You will be published.â Three months later, I had my first book contract, for Every Crooked Nanny, which she graciously agreed to blurb. I used to meet up with her whenever she came to Atlanta on book tour, and sometimes, weâd go to dinner after. Remembering her today is a nice way to start another deadline day. #mysterywriter #authorsofinstagrsm
Itâs D-time. Dreadline, er, deadline time. (Technically deadline was 2 months ago, but #kneereplacement) so Iâm locked away in the Squirrelâs Nest, with my Trader Joeâs peppermint tea (thanks @jamestfarmer) my red currant candle, and my story. Please send finishing the book thought & prayers. #authorsofinstagram #dreadline #christmasbooks #squirrelsnest
Itâs never too late for a Monday mood brightener so hereâs a helping of puppy porn courtesy of Tater, our English setter puppy. Heâs sleeping through the nightâcourtesy of a thrift store stuffed animal who joins him on his crate each night. Mama Dog is a lifesaver! #puppyporn #settersofinstagram #birddogs

Election night in Georgia had me so stressedâbut @claysniderinteriors came over and we drank wine and ate @callieshotlittlebiscuit pimento cheese, and we (mostly him) crafted this wreath from some of my hoarded blue and white stuffâinspired by the beautiful plate wreaths I spotted from @tortoiseandharevintage. We used a cheap plastic wreath and wired the plates (with plate hangers on them) onto the wreath. We donât really decorate for the holidays until after Thanksgiving, but this was a fun stress-buster. #blueandwhiteforever #vintagestyle #holidayhoarder #ievenvoteblue
Oh Ohio! Iâll be at the Brunswick Middle School tonight at 7 pm for a fun eventâfree to the public & books available for signing. Come see me!
