And All Because of Toilet Paper

And All Because of Toilet Paper

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 14, 2011

I’ve been having a bit of an off week… you know the kind. Nothing really wrong, but not feeling quite 100%, the day job a little tough to take. Yet there were bright spots to the week, like getting a text message from my friends Drew and Branli about getting together for coffee as they passed by my workplace. So not all bad, not all good, just not feeling quite myself.

The Love Hate Relationship

The Love Hate Relationship

By LK Gardner-Griffie on December 2, 2010

I have a love / hate relationship with my editing software. I go through and do all of my edits, do a read through, and when I think things are in good shape, I bring out the evil editing software. I call it evil S.

Don’t Buy My Books

Don’t Buy My Books

By LK Gardner-Griffie on November 10, 2010

This is how I felt when I heard this morning that Amazon.com had a book available for sale on Kindle that goes against the grain of moral and ethical decency.

With the advent of Halloween, the holiday season is upon us and another year is winding quickly to a close. I have FINALLY done what I should have done ages ago and added the ability to purchase books directly from my website.

Back on the Radio with Chris Treece

Back on the Radio with Chris Treece

By LK Gardner-Griffie on August 27, 2010

Back in July I was scheduled to appear on The Chris Treece Show on Blog Talk Radio. As many of you know, we had to reschedule the show because poor Chris was involved in the floods in Tennessee and lost everything. EVERYTHING!

Thoughts From the Morning Commute – The Young Adult Genre

Thoughts From the Morning Commute – The Young Adult Genre

By LK Gardner-Griffie on April 30, 2009

As I read through some articles this morning, I ran across a great video called YA haters by Jackson Pearce which was a video response to some ridiculous remarks by the New Yorker, Entertainment Weekly, and The Atlantic about the young adult genre. I have embedded the video in this post so you can enjoy it as well. Jackson Pearce is an up and coming writer, who has her debut novel, As You Wish coming out in August 2009 (and is currently available for pre-order.) I really enjoy Jackson’s sense of humor and quirkiness, and have browsed a few of her other videos as well. Maybe I’ll have to turn Denny into my camera man and start V-logging too. I’ll get Phoenix to play me because she likes to pose for the camera. (All right, already. . . I digressed.)
