Author Event Announcement and Spring 2016 in Pictures (Because I’m Busy!)

May 17, 2016 / Katie L. Carroll

First order of business is I have a new event to announce. Barnes & Noble is hosting a nationwide Teen Book Festival the weekend of June 10-12, and I’ll be participating at the B&N in North Haven, CT on Sunday, June 12. Once I have all the details, I’ll post them here on the blog and on the homepage. But I wanted to start getting the word out now for any local people who might be interested.

In other news, I’ve been working hard to meet a couple of freelance deadlines and the hubby is away all this week, so you’re all getting a picture post. It’s quick and easy, and you all love pics of the boys, right? (You’re so not allowed to say no to that question!) 😉

Winter 2016 in Pictures

January 25, 2016 / Katie L. Carroll

As I work on filling up my creative well (you can read all about that here), I’m feeling short on words. But I’m never short on pictures, especially of the boys. And you never tire of seeing them (right!? ;)). So here are some recent pics:

Fall 2015 in Pictures

December 7, 2015 / Katie L. Carroll

First thing’s first…ELIXIR BOUND is on sale today as part of my publisher’s 12 Days of Christmas event. Please help spread the word, and feel free to grab the banner and share it (and also, ya know, pick up a copy of the book).

And…on to the post…

It’s a busy time of year. That means you get to have the super cuteness of a picture post (because most of my pictures are of the boys!). One thing before the pics. Mary Waibel, Kai Strand, and I have been thinking about #inkripples in 2016. We’ve got a whole new set of topics for next year, and we’d love any bloggers to join in the conversation. Full details coming next week!

Now on to the pictures:

Never-Ending Winter 2015 in Pictures

March 13, 2015 / Katie L. Carroll

There are still big snow piles outside, but the weather is warming and the earth is waking again in preparation for spring. Still won’t be getting those pea seeds planted on St. Patrick’s Day like most years, but I keep telling myself soon enough the garden will be full of flowers and veggies.

I was backing up a bunch of pictures yesterday, so I thought I’d share a picturesque look back on this winter (and also pictures are an easy post while I’m crazy busy trying to finish a first draft of BLACK BUTTERFLY and preparing for my workshops in April). We spent most of it indoors because of sub-freezing (often sub-zero) temperatures, frigid wind chills, and of course all that snow. Enjoy the cuteness!

Finished (Almost) Attic Writing Space

February 20, 2015 / Katie L. Carroll

The attic office space is finished! Sort of. There are still some finishes that need to be done (molding, doors to close off the eave storage areas and for the closet, more seating options and eventually a new desk, and a few other things), but it’s completely functional and even starting to look pretty now that I’ve started filling up the bookshelves.

I love sitting at my desk that faces the window with my view of the neighbors’ rooftops and yards (though mostly there’s just a lot of snow out there right now), and the boys certainly enjoy the space. A bonus for the winter is that it’s the warmest room in the house.

Now that we’ve been clearing out the boxes and getting organized, I’m realizing how much good space we have up there. The floor space is big, and even with the limited headroom on the sides, it feels spacious. I’ll have to go through all my pictures of the attic and put together some before and after photos for you all. But for now, I’m just gonna enjoy my new room for what is meant for: writing!
