August 18, 2020 By Tamera Alexander

Do you have a "book-to-movie" wish? A book you've treasured forever, that you've read several times through the years, and that you'd LOVE to see made into a movie? Well, I have several.

Life in My Office with Dani Pettrey

Hello friends! As I complete this manuscript and turn it in, I am looking forward to dancing around the house and then crashing for a much-needed nap. Once I ‘recover’ from the long, intense weeks leading up to deadline, I have what I like to term ‘Organize my Life Week.’ It’s ambitious but given I dive into revisions within a week or two of turning in my rough draft, that’s about all I’ve … [Read more...]
