If you’ve followed this series as I have, then you probably have your own ideas about this. This is just my theory, which I felt like posting.

I don’t get to read quite as much as I would like, but it’s also my M.O. to read in spurts.

Peeking into the wire crab hotel at the surf shop, I saw neat rows of shells – some natural, some painted in solids or patterns – but few signs of actual hermit crabs living inside of them. Except for one.

I’ve lived here my whole life, experienced all the shifts in seasons, know what to expect from each one, and fall never fails me. No matter how many years pass, October always sweeps me off my feet. A routine drive turns fairy tale-ish when a tornado of [...]<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/amyandthepen?a=-s6ap2TydQ8:kL3A9budqdM:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/amyandthepen?a=-s6ap2TydQ8:kL3A9budqdM:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/amyandthepen?a=-s6ap2TydQ8:kL3A9budqdM:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>I Write Because I Love Surprises</h1> <p>amyandthepen — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 19:25:40 +0000</p> I started writing the first draft of my sci-fi mystery novel, Hybrid Theory, around the middle of September. I’m making good progress but it’s been a little stilted the last week or so. This morning I finally got on a roll, and in the process I rediscovered one of the reasons I love to write [...]<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/amyandthepen?a=3tqlFoVFns4:7ZGNDwMghC8:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/amyandthepen?a=3tqlFoVFns4:7ZGNDwMghC8:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/amyandthepen?a=3tqlFoVFns4:7ZGNDwMghC8:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>New Website for My Mystery Books</h1> <p>amyandthepen — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 19:46:43 +0000</p> So I spent some time redesigning my website this summer, and launched the finished product earlier this month. It boasts a totally new design that’s both fun and functional and I think expresses my personality and that of my books much better! Aside from a spiffy cosmetic update, I also added some new content – [...]<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/amyandthepen?a=ljJUOOPg_Ho:sfy4fZzU2ks:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/amyandthepen?a=ljJUOOPg_Ho:sfy4fZzU2ks:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/amyandthepen?a=ljJUOOPg_Ho:sfy4fZzU2ks:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Decode, Chapter 9: Dress to Spy</h1> <p>amyandthepen — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 15:34:33 +0000</p> So I’m back after a little vacation with the next installment of my mystery web series Decode.
