Misfit McCabe

Tattered

Tattered

By LK Gardner-Griffie on November 1, 2011

What do Sunday afternoon court proceedings, cheerleader tryouts, and a book burning have in common? Katie McCabe is back in action.

K. Turner’s Review of Misfit McCabe

K. Turner’s Review of Misfit McCabe

By LK Gardner-Griffie on October 23, 2011

Misfit McCabe sucks the reader into young Katie McCabe’s life as she transitions from her normal, everyday life into a new town full of new people. The pace is quick, but I was never left behind for a moment wondering what was happening.

Remembering What Isn’t To Be

Remembering What Isn’t To Be

By Katie McCabe on August 10, 2011

This is hard. I’m struggling to find the words I want to say.

In July, after reading about Samuel and Takeimi, I couldn’t stop thinking about them.

Takeimi’s Legacy

Takeimi’s Legacy

By Katie McCabe on July 21, 2011

A couple of weeks ago Takeimi Rao was looking forward to starting high school, or at least that’s what I’d expect from a straight A student. But last week, during a slumber party all her dreams of what she was going to do with her life came to an end.

Alcohol and Death: Something to think about

Alcohol and Death: Something to think about

By Katie McCabe on July 14, 2011

This is a picture of Samuel Hayes. He died last week, probably because he had too much to drink. He was sixteen-years-old, only a couple years older than me. I didn’t know Samuel. We don’t live in the same town, but his story hit me hard. He looks like a nice guy, and sixteen is too young to die.

And the Party’s Over

And the Party’s Over

By LK Gardner-Griffie on April 5, 2011

Awwww!!!! I was having so much fun celebrating Carol’s agent representation, I almost forgot the party had to come to an end. But someone let the air out of the balloons, so now it’s time to clean up the confetti. I love to throw it – the sparkly kind always – but hate to clean it up.

Blog Party Celebration

Blog Party Celebration

By LK Gardner-Griffie on March 14, 2011

Being a writer can be a tough proposition, because along every step of the way you face rejection in multiple forms and most likely multiple times. So, most writers I know love any reason to celebrate, and I’m NO exception. So, because my friend fellow Bling-Babe, Carolina Valdez Miller announced her agent representation today with the fabulous Vickie Motter of Andrea Hurst and Associates Literary Management, join us for the rest of the month in the:Agent Celebration Mega Giveaway

Writing Challenges

Writing Challenges

By LK Gardner-Griffie on March 8, 2011

Sometimes writing a particular story gives us challenges. What am I saying? In every story I’ve ever written, I’ve faced one challenge or another on the way to completion. This is a good thing. With each challenge, I learn something in getting over the hurdle.

Good Grief, Charlie  Brown

Good Grief, Charlie Brown

By LK Gardner-Griffie on March 5, 2011

I just finished writing a rough (and I mean very rough) synopsis of No Boundaries and in the middle of it, I realized Good Grief!! I packed a lot of crap stuff in this book!!!

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 22, 2011

Today was errand day, as is my usual Saturday. But I added an additional stop to my normal Saturday running around; a beauty supply place.
