Author friends are invaluable. I was reminded of this fact this week as I finished copy edits on The Mad Wife & had self doubt about nearly everything. An author friend's email landed in my inbox & helped scare off the monster I found lurking at the end of the book. open.substack.com/pub/meaganch...

Authors, search for your books. Meta pirated both of my books to train its AI.

On International Women's Day, I'm reflecting on how history remembers the achievements, but often forgets those who suffered in silence. Like the estimated 4 million unwed pregnant women who were sent to maternity homes between 1945-1973 during the Baby Scoop Era.

What my soul needs right now: a collab of Billie Eilish and Joni Mitchell. I'd settle for a Billie cover of Circle Game. How can we make this happen?

I'm thrilled to reveal the cover of my novel THE MAD WIFE. Set in 1950s suburbia when hysteria was a diagnosis, it's a haunting exploration of identity, motherhood, and the suffocating grip of societal expectations that will leave you questioning the lives we build—and the lies we live. #booksky

Book cover image of a woman in the 1950s standing in her kitchen smiling as her eyes are blacked out. Below the image is the text, "They called it hysteria. She called it survival." The Mad Wife will release November 4, 2025, and is available for preorder now.

Yesterday was productive: ✔️Worked on my new book. ✔️Caught up on emails I ignored while editing my 3rd book. ✔️Stood in the cold and chatted with a kindred-spirit neighbor. ✔️Started re-reading The Awakening by Kate Chopin for inspiration (see #1 above). ✔️Deleted Twitter/X account.

This is why I started writing historical fiction: “Humans have memories that are both short and bad, which leads us to forget just how bad many things used to be in even the recent past, and take for granted the improvements that have been made.” www.vox.com/future-perfe... #booksky

Your brain is lying to you about the “good old days”

Edits on my third book are due Friday. In related news, this weekend I finally took down the holiday decorations, cleaned the house, planned a 13yo’s birthday party, and joined yet another social media platform.
