Here's what's on my mind today:
- After Loving You Release Day! It's finally here! After Loving You is officially out in the world today. You can grab a copy on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or wherever you prefer to buy your books.
- YA Fest I'm happy to announce I'll be at YA Fest on March 18, 2017! I'm so excited to be part of this event again.
- Editing I have a lot of edits on my plate this month. Luckily I really enjoy my clients' work.
- October My favorite month is here. I love the smell of October. Sorry to all you pumpkin lovers, though. I'm not a fan of pumpkin anything, unless it's a pumpkin to put out on display. But hey, that means more for you guys. ;)
- Allergies While I love fall, it doesn't love me. The allergy headaches have begun.
That's it for me. What's on your mind today?

Here's what's on my mind today:
- MG Alien Twitter Pitches Okay, MG authors, Leap Books Seek and I are looking for your Twitter pitch for middle grade alien books. Tweet me @kellyhashway with your MG alien pitch. If I'm interested, I'll reply with where to send sample pages. I'll be taking pitches today through Friday.
- Drafting I'm attempting to draft a book between edits—well, I should say around edits because I'm still editing. Last Friday, I managed to get in 10,000 words and it felt amazing!
- Branding? You know that draft I just mentioned? Well, it's an adult thriller. Apparently, I'm refusing to let Kelly Hashway be branded as a YA paranormal author. I can't help but write the stories that come to me, no matter what they are.
- Reading I spend a lot of time reading. Between the books I edit for clients and the submissions for Seek, I read constantly. Of course that means I don't get to read a lot of new releases though. I'm going to attempt to change that. Wish me luck—and a few extra hours in my day.
- YA Fest I attended YA Fest on Saturday and got to spend some time with readers and fellow authors. I had a great time. Here are some pictures from the event.

Happy Monday! Here's my mishmash of thoughts:
1. YA Fest On Saturday, I attended YA Fest with 49 other authors. It was crazy awesome. I got to meet my Month9Books family who I've talked to online but never met in person before.
 |
| Pab Sungenis, Jackie Kessler, Me, Jen McConnel, Janice Bashman, and Donna Gallanti |
I also finally met Jennifer Armentrout in person, which was awesome since she blurbed my Touch of Death series for me.
Kate Kaynak photo bombed a picture, giving Lisa Amowitz bunny ears. ;)
So, I took a picture with Kate.
The lovely Kimberly Miller was nice enough to take a picture of me at my table.
I got a nice surprise when my friend and fellow author, Beth Consugar, showed up. We'd never met in person before.
Here's me with YA Fest founder, Jennifer Murgia, who happened to blurb The Monster Within for me.And here I am with the totally sweet Jen McConnel. Seriously, what a sweetheart!
And that's probably way more pictures than you wanted to see, but I had an absolute blast and had to share.
2. Monroe County Book Expo I'll be at the Hughes branch of the Eastern Monroe County Library on Saturday from 10am-3pm signing copies of all my books, PB through YA, and my Ashelyn Drake title, Campus Crush.
3. Editing I'm editing for clients this week along with working on revisions for two of my books. April has been such a busy month for me.
That's it for me. What's on your mind today?
