Tattered Cover Reveal

Tattered Cover Reveal

By LK Gardner-Griffie on November 7, 2011

I am very excited to have a cover for the third book in the Misfit McCabe series, Tattered, for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that I love the cover. And secondly, it means the release of Tattered can’t be far behind.

The Twinkie Defense: Teen Drinking and Violence

The Twinkie Defense: Teen Drinking and Violence

By LK Gardner-Griffie on November 4, 2011

Having been a soda-holic at one point in my life… okay, let’s be honest for most of my adult life… I found this article on the consumption of sugary soda highly interesting.

Born This Way Foundation

Born This Way Foundation

By LK Gardner-Griffie on November 3, 2011

When someone uses their celebrity to help address one of my pet issues, it makes me feel good. That they use their pull and tap into their fanbase to raise awareness about the issue, such as bullying, it gives me hope that something positive will come out of it.

The Victim’s Fault?

The Victim’s Fault?

By LK Gardner-Griffie on October 2, 2011

Bullying is a hot topic these days. As a nation, we’re grappling with how best to stop bullying and yet more cases are jumping into the public eye. Recently the case of Jamey Rodemeyer has been making headlines, because bullying drove this fourteen-year-old boy to take his own life.

Pledge of Allegiance = Bullying?

Pledge of Allegiance = Bullying?

By LK Gardner-Griffie on September 13, 2011

When I saw the article title at first I thought I had misread it. I looked again. Nope. It said what I read the first time. Lawyer wants to ban Pledge of Allegiance in schools; claims it’s bullying.

Tour of Secrets Contest

Tour of Secrets Contest

By LK Gardner-Griffie on August 26, 2011

I love book releases. There is something special about all of the efforts the author made finally coming together and having them share their inspiration with the world. And the release of a debut novel is even more special. Knowing the writer is finally seeing the end product and is sharing something so intimate with the world for the first time. Because the book writing process is an intimate one and I know from personal experience, the blood, sweat, and tears that go into the process.

Stop the Insanity – Part I

Stop the Insanity – Part I

By LK Gardner-Griffie on August 8, 2011

The world is an insane place. That is the only explanation I can come up with. Back in September 2010, a man by the name of Wesley Scroggins stirred up the people of Republic, MO by asking that Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, and Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler be banned from the schools.

Cecil FTW

Cecil FTW

By LK Gardner-Griffie on August 6, 2011

One of my goals is to share real world experiences along with thoughts and articles about the issues which crop up in my writing. And to do that, my plan was to contact people and ask them to share some of their experiences…
