November was… interesting. But, nonetheless, it was filled with joy.

Because here’s the thing: we can’t truly appreciate the joy, the happy moments, the glimmers, without also experiencing feelings like sadness, frustration, and dread.

Isn’t there a famous quote about this? I can’t think of it right now.

Anyways, point is: I am thankful.

I’m thankful for finding the joy in the small moments (and the big ones, too). And, of course, I am thankful for you– for being here, for reading this caption, for supporting my dream.

This month’s joy included
🍁 live theater
🍁 leaves changing colors
🍁 playing board games
🍁 being greeted with champagne
🍁 bar trivia
🍁 singing happy birthday
🍁 sitting at the kids table

What brought you joy this month - big or small? Let me know in the comments!👇🏼

It’s Judy Blume for a new generation. ✨

For the daughters of Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret and Lizzie McGuire, meet Emma Bishop.

She’s real, she’s unsure, she’s just wondering if her boobs are ever going to grow, or if she’ll ever kiss a boy.

Come for the nostalgia, stay for the laughs and real moments. Then share it with the tween or teen girl in your life. 💕

Just a little Friday pet pick-me-up. 😻

This is Albus. He was my first baby, is a handsome-cute-good-boy, and he has a minor role in my books (because, duh).

I’m also convinced he recently died and started one of his new lives because despite being almost twelve, he’s been acting like a kitten these past few months. 👀

Tell me about your pet in the comments.👇🏼 What’s their name? Do they have any fun quirks?

I’m writing this caption in the car after arguably my worst event I’ve had in the 2 years since I became a published author.

Right now, I want to cry. And I probably will.

But when I’m done, I’m going to remind myself that one bad event does not determine my success as an author, that my books are still on the shelves (and with @sdessen as a neighbor no less!), and that my dreams are still coming true.

And I will come back and do it again because that’s all I can do. Keep going, keep trying, and keep sharing Emma’s story. 💕

I think we could all use a little extra joy right now…

So here’s my delayed October joy.

Because even in these dark times, we can still find joy in the small moments.

And we need to. Don’t let go of it.

Happy Monday. I woke up this morning and instead of dragging my booty out of bed, I decided I’m going to take the week off from all author stuff. It’s been a very busy couple months, and I’m due for a recharge. I’ll see ya in a few days. 💕

“Being fourteen is hard. Isn’t it?” -Why Won’t My Boobs Grow… and Other Annoyances

What’s your fav YA book?

I have read a TON of YA this year, and it’s been SO. MUCH. FUN.

I love YA because being a teenager is such a unique experience. You’re navigating a lot of new emotions and experiences for the very first time; you’re straddling the line between being a kid and being a grown-up; and you’re just trying to figure it all out and feel a little less alone.

And that’s what YA does. It makes you feel less alone. It highlights the experiences of being a teenager. And for us oldies, it reminds us what it was like. The magic of experiencing these things for the first time. ✨

If you’ve read DBF (or WWMBG, too), please (PLEASE) leave a review on Amazon and/ or Goodreads.

Reviews are SO important for authors, especially indie authors like me. They’re what get us in front of more potential readers and convince them to read our books.

Not sure what to write in a review? It doesn’t have to be an essay. “This was a funny and relatable book,” is perfectly fine. (Have you seen my one sentence reviews series?!) When in doubt, just share what you liked about the book.

Need some inspo? 👇🏼
• I loved this book!
• The main character was so relatable.
• It made me laugh out loud!
• This is the perfect book for...

Really. Don’t overthink it!

If a book has less than 100 reviews, YOURS makes a difference. ✨

My goal is 50 reviews by November 8th. Can you help me get there?

Leave a 💜 if you’ve left yours already! And THANK YOU! It really means so much.

Emma Bishop is ready for a fresh start. She’s in high school now, afterall, so there’s no room for last year’s drama to follow her. She’s older and wiser, more confident, and determined to make this her best year yet.

In what might be the most exciting development of her life, Emma finally has a boyfriend. Andy is cute and nice and really likes her– what could go wrong? As it turns out, everything.

From sleepovers to high school dances, dreaming of her first boyfriend to having one glued to her side, Emma is excited, nervous, and most of all, confused. It doesn’t stop there though. She finds herself navigating dynamic shifts in her friend group, break-ups and make-ups, sibling relationships, and all the dilemmas that come with being a freshman in high school.

Dear Boyfriend… and Other High School Dilemmas is the second book in the Emma Bishop series by Rebecca Garner. These light-hearted, young adult books explore the realities of what it’s really like to be a teenager. Friendship, love, embarrassing moments, Emma experiences it all.

Your girl is gonna be busy (and happy)! 👇🏼

THIS Saturday 10/19, I will be participating in an author panel at @orlandparklibrary where @tpclark2000 @debbieurbanski and I will discuss our journeys into authorhood, explore the book development process, and answer questions to motivate aspiring writers and inspire potential readers. (I’ll put the registration info in my story.)

Do a little shopping with tons of vendors on Saturday 10/26 at the Richards High School craft fair. (This is my alma mater and the inspiration for Emma’s high school in Dear Boyfriend. 😉)

Unless you’re on a book buying ban, I’d love to see you at @bnorlandpark on Sun. 11/10. There is always something fun happening in this store, and there’s just a special sort of magic walking among the bookshelves of a B&N isn’t there?

And believe it or not, that’s not all - I have three more events before the end of the year! Like I said, your girl is going to be busy, but doing events like these make me so happy. Come on out to one (or all!) of these and snag yourself some goodies!

I had the best time celebrating the launch of Dear Boyfriend… and Other High School Dilemmas with @bookieschicago over the weekend. ✨

We laughed, we hugged, we snacked, we cheersed (cheers’d?). 🥂

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with me. Your support means more than you know. 💕

And thank you to everyone who sent love from afar - I felt you there in spirit.

A special shoutout to Bookie’s for inviting me to host this event, and always being such a big supporter of this little indie author.

If you’re bummed you missed it, stay tuned because tomorrow I’m sharing some of my upcoming events - and I’d love to see you at one of them! 😉
