| Spring in Middle Tennessee! |
Look what I’ve got! I’ve ordered a bunch of copies of both of my Balance Keeper Series books for my upcoming book signing (picture above). You can watch my box opening on Instagram @jlburrowsauthor. I’m trying to find a way to make room on my bookshelves to put my books! Eeek! I’m overjoyed to have met a new author bestie this week! Maria messaged me to see if I wanted to participate in an author takeover June 4th! I was thrilled! It has been amazing to chat with and support so many great YA Fantasy authors. If you haven’t checked them out, be sure to do so soon! Maria Henriksen A.J. Skelly Ashley Bustamante Candice Yamnitz My husband has installed the first step to our new patio/raised bed garden/firepit! I’m so excited to plant new flowers in it.  Current Summer Agenda Update: After the Darkness May-July: I’m seven thousand words in and full steam ahead. I still anticipate an end of July release. However, I’m not pulling the date up until after most of the work is done and my health continues to hold. Hints of Darkness The NEW cover is finished, and I’ve decided on characters for the new short stories that will make up my new YA Fantasy anthology. If you have any teens that would like to see their name in a book – LET ME KNOW! 🙂 Planning is underway. Writing June-July. Shadows Calling – a new middle grade trilogy. I’m homing in on a potential cover design and am thinking of using a previous cover designer. I plan on starting revisions after finishing the first draft of After the Darkness. May-July FAMILY: Prom was amazing! I love that my homeschooled kids get to experience some of the key milestones of school life. READING: I’m finishing Skyward by Brandon Sanderson tonight, and I totally recommend it! I borrowed mine from the library – so you might try that. HOW YOU CAN HELP: 1.

Burrows I write YA paranormal / fantasy thrillers, love my two kiddos and two shiapoos, and drink too much herbal tea. My teenage son thinks I’m a bookaholic and my almost teenage daughter thinks I’m boring. Ahem! They aren’t both right!!!
