The War on Slugs

Chrishumor

I’m normally a live and let live kind of person. I let flies out the window rather than swatting them. I go out of my way to avoid stepping on worms that are wriggling across the sidewalk. But when it’s comes to slugs I’m adopting a scorched earth policy. Why have I turned from a normally peaceful person into a … Read More

Make Me Laugh Wednesday-The Boyfriend Bet

Chrisyoung adult

I thought I’d share a scene from The Boyfriend Bet where Zoe and Grant have yet another detention for kissing on school grounds. I hope it makes you smile. “Remember the last time we had detention and Principal Stephens didn’t have time to call our parents?” Crap. I’d totally forgotten. “He’s definitely going to call our parents this time.” “The … Read More

For the Love of Dogs

Chrishome

How many people does it take to hold a 15 pound, eleven-year-old shitzu so the vet can examine his foot? Four…including the vet. And we had to use a muzzle…shitzu’s are not to be trifled with. Pete does an imitation of an alligator death-roll that is quite impressive. Why did we have vet drama in the first place? Saturday morning, Pete … Read More

Week in Review

ChrisUncategorized

This past week was full of highs : The Boyfriend Bet released on Monday. And lows: I woke up Monday morning to a dead Keurig. Thankfully I keep a french press on hand for caffeine related emergencies. After work, I  went to a grocery store that gives a percent off of gasoline at their pumps with proof of purchase from the … Read More

Pre- Release Day Jitters

ChrisYA

The Boyfriend Bet comes out tomorrow. Allow me to explain the pre-release day jitters through Big Bang Theory Gifs.     Oh, my God. My book comes out tomorrow. What if no one buys the book? What if they buy the book and they think it sucks? What if it does suck? No. I won’t think like that. It doesn’t … Read More

I’m super excited that The Boyfriend Bet comes out August 22. Today I’m sharing a scene where Grant gives Zoe a ride home and they talk about her relationship with her brother, and the double date they’re going on that evening with their friends Delia and Aiden. “When we were kids, Delia and I set up a lemonade stand at … Read More

Back to Work

ChrisYA

For ten blissful weeks I’ve pretended to be a full time writer. And now it’s back to the real world of waking up at five in the morning to go to the day job. I know that I’m blessed to have a good job and I love doing speech therapy with all my little people, but waking up that early is … Read More

The Boyfriend Bet

ChrisYA

I thought I’d share another scene from my sweet, snarky romantic comedy The Boyfriend Bet which comes out August 22. In this scene Grant has just left an encounter with his ex, Lena. He’s thinking about Zoe. Consciously or not, I found myself driving toward the exit for Betty’s Burgers and Zoe’s house. I pulled into the parking lot at Betty’s. I … Read More

Make Me Laugh Wednesday: The Boyfriend Bet

ChrisYA

In honor of my cover reveal for The Boyfriend Bet which happens August 4th, I though I’d share a funny (I hope) scene from the book. If you’d like to find out more about The Boyfriend Bet, check out this link. Now here’s the scene. At lunch, Delia and I snagged a table by the windows before lining up for … Read More

Stranger Things

ChrisUncategorized

Have you seen Stranger Things on Netflix? It has a freaky monster from another dimension and evil scientists who use kids for their own gain. It’s creepy and surprising and totally different than most of what is on television. There are also a ton of eighties references that will make you wince and/or laugh, depending on your age. Despite the questionable fashion … Read More
