Ever heard of a Book Family Tree? It was a really interesting exercise for me—to consider what other books inspired, informed or influenced my own in some way. I was actually quite surprised by some of the connections I made—are you? If you’re reading my book now, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Were there any you thought of that should be here? Are any of these books a favorite of yours? Perhaps try a family book tree of your own and share✨ #bookfamilytree #inspiration #newrelease #syllablesofthebrinyworld #shinybitsinbetween #bolivarpeninsula #bolivarpointlighthouse #sequel #txgulfcoast #texasauthor #hurricane #hurricaneike #climatefiction #magicrealsim #VisionaryFiction ✨

**Snippet Sunday** This week we see Pete face-off against a lion! Did you know there really was a lion sheltering in a church on Bolivar during Hurricane Ike? “The lioness stopped growling, though her throat still vibrated, her flanks expanding and contracting. She turned her head toward Pete. Muscle and hot breath were so close, he could smell the beast’s intent to kill. Her pupils dilated as she assessed her options—stringy old meat or soft young flesh.” Syllables of the Briny World, p.236 #snippetsunday #syllablesofthebrinyworld @bolivarpeninsular #shinybitsinbetween #bolivarpeninsula #bolivarpointlighthouse #sequel #txgulfcoast #texasauthor #hurricane #hurricaneike #climatefiction #magicrealsim #VisionaryFiction

I’m excited to share more about “Syllables of the Briny World” and its author, Georgina Key. It’s a wonderful novel exploring themes of loving, loss, and the importance of community. The devastation caused by Hurricane Ike a reminder of the power of nature and the cost of climate change. I’m flattered that Georgina chose one of my monoprints created during my year of immersion at the #houstonarboreteumandnaturecenter for the cover of this novel. Two pieces of my art are also used as backgrounds for this post. Read more about both Georgina and her second novel here. @balanceofsevenpress @keygeorgina #shinybitsinbetween #syllablesofthebrinyworld #ayearatthearboretum #houstonprintmakers
✨✨✨ECLIPSE✨✨✨ In my new book, Syllables of the Briny World, Jack of the Lost Boys saves Finn from Sea-Mother’s grasp during a lunar eclipse (the only time he’s able to reach his friend—yes, eclipses are magical that way😊✨) “He watched Moon dim, slice by slice. And when only the penumbra ringed her dark face, he plunged through the waves—down, down to the deep where Finn lay.” Are you planning to watch today? Keep an eye out for weird happenings and share please!!👀 @balanceofsevenpress @mquarles.studio #shinybitsinbetween #sequel #txgulfcoast #texasauthor #bolivarpeninsula #hurricane #hurricaneike #climatefiction #magicrealsim #eclipse
Congratulations on the publication of your second novel, Syllables of the Briny World @keygeorgina, and thanks for the shout-out!

I’m delighted to introduce to you a wonderful artist, Maryellen Quarles, whose gorgeous monoprint graces the cover of my latest book, Syllables of the Briny World. (Scroll to page 2 for artist profile) This is the perfect image for my story—the movement of water and wind rendered in layers of ink on paper. And as an abstract piece, it reflects the chaos of a landscape fractured during and after an immense storm: "Everything was a surreal version of itself. No roads delineated direction so space was abstracted.” @balanceofsevenpress @mquarles.studio #shinybitsinbetween #sequel #txgulfcoast #texasauthor #bolivarpeninsula #hurricane #hurricaneike #climatefiction #syllablesofthebrinyworld
Delighted and honored that my monoprint “early winter” has been selected for the cover of author Georgina Key’s new novel Syllables of the Briny World.

Thought I’d share my painting that won the art category in the recent Equinnox literary journal. I dedicated my second book, Syllables of the Briny World, out next month: “To our precious briny world, with much love and respect.” Both my Bolivar books center around the ocean, which is a character in these stories, especially in my second novel. As we know, the ocean can be unpredictable. One day it is beautiful and the next it can be devastating. So my overall intent for this painting was to evoke the idea of water. I painted it while I was working on the very early stages of my first book, Shiny Bits in Between. My art and my writing tend to serve as catalysts for each other in many ways, in that each informs the other. As an artist, I use various mediums—paint, fiber, clay, paper. As a writer, I tell stories. So although this painting is primarily abstract, it also suggests a narrative of sorts. It’s the word “capricious’, changeable, in the title that informs the narrative aspect. This painting hangs in my living room—it reminds me daily of the power of water, both to heal and to destroy. It represents my ambiguous feelings toward it, which is a metaphor for life, isn’t it?

If you’re curious about my new release, Syllables of the Briny World, check out this podcast. Julia interviewed me while I was in Scotland last summer (and where I’ll be again this summer—guess where my 3rd book is set?😬) These are just a few of the topics Julia and I discussed. (And I have to say, I’m kind of excited about the 1.7k views so far—not bad✨) How did you get published? I’m a “Panster”, not a plotter!

You may have seen the reports of bioluminescence in Galveston and Bolivar Peninsula lately. Have you ever seen it in person? I did once. It made such an impression on me that I wrote a scene in shiny bits about it. Dorie thinks her daughter is sending a sign from the spirit world, but Rennie soon sets her straight: “What was that?” “Bioluminescent plankton. Pretty cool, right?” “Plankton? But it looked so . . . magical . . .” Her voice was that of a child discovering Santa wasn’t real. “Well, sure. Remember when you were a kid chasing fireflies? I’d spend hours with my friends collecting jarfuls of them. Kept them in my room so it lit up like Christmas in July.” “I used to convince myself they were fairies.” “Like I said, magical.” “Yes, but they weren’t fairies, were they? And I’m guessing you ended up with jars full of dead bugs.

My poem, Communion, is included in this wonderful collection that came out today. It was inspired by my visit to a cemetery in Luss during our summer in Scotland and seems especially apt for this issue which honors becoming older and dwelling in a place of remembrance✨ “Mossy gravestones list like the ravaged teeth of some giant, all snaggle-toothed, one or two loose in their peaty cavity.” https://www.gyroscopereview.com/2023/10/fall-2023-crone-power-issue/ @gyroscopereview #cemeterylovers #scotland #shinybitsinbetween #communion #gravestones #moss
Join us this Friday to bask in the spoken written word✨ Amongst others, and featuring Kristina Koutsoudas, I’ll be reading from my upcoming novel, Syllables of the Briny World.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately—the impressions etched into us over all the years we have lived and how we have been shaped by them. Whether from people we know, places we’ve been, family lore that has been passed down through generations. We are not “the unyielding rock regions of the archipelago” but more the softer, “malmstone, greensand, sandstone, chalk.” We have been harrowed by experience, continue to be malleable with each passing year. Continue to become. @robgmacfarlane #shinybitsinbetween #holloway #lifelessons #becoming ✨
On this day 15 years ago, we lost our little yellow house by the sea—skeletal pylons were all that remained. On September 13th, 2008, Hurricane Ike decimated Bolivar Peninsula, a beloved TexasGulf Coast community that would never be quite the same again. My latest book, Syllables of the Briny World, is an homage to this extraordinary place and to all those who suffered loss that day. It is also a book of hope and resilience against the wrath of mother nature. You needn't have read Shiny Bits In Between to appreciate this story. But if you have, you'll already know the characters who we follow four years later as they face this catastrophic storm. Syllables of the Briny World—available Spring 2024. Look for posts as publication gets closer—I can't wait to share this story with you! #shinybitsinbetween #hurricanestory #ikehurricane #ike2008 #resilience #texasgulfcoast #bolivarpeninsula
UK house hunting research😬✨ A favorite writer of mine—I don’t tend towards non fiction, but Robert McFarlane is a nature writer with a poet’s soul. If you haven’t read him before, I highly recommend. “The fells, the caves, the tors, the woods, the moors, the river valleys and the marshes have all but disappeared…they have faded out altogether like old ink, become the suppressed memories of a more ancient archipelago.” His description of a friend’s house has me seriously rethinking my Scotland house hunt (scroll)🩶 #househunting #followyourdreams #shinybitsinbetween @robgmacfarlane ✨
Yes, it’s happening😳 I mean, granted, I’m in a beautiful setting (but The Overlook was nice too, until…well, we all know what happened there!) So yeah, all my England peeps, reach out if you wanna hang sometime. Or I can’t promise what state you’ll find me in after another week or so😬😅😆 #theshining #allworkandnoplaymakesjackadullboy #writingalone #solitude #missmypeeps #shinybitsinbetween
Submission Accepted @gyroscopereview ✨ Love getting these emails and look forward to sharing this poem soon😊 I was inspired to write this piece when I recently visited an old cemetery in Luss, Loch Lomond.

Readers, the haunting #ShinyBitsInBetween by @keygeorgina deserves to reach many more people, and you can help! Please request that your local library add SBIB to its collection, be it in paperback or ebook form, so that others can enjoy this magnificent work. In our endeavor to broaden our reach, #libraries play a critical role. So from us to you, dear reader: thank you. #libraries #publishing #womensfiction
You know how people say, “50 is the new 40” etc. I’m not sure I like that. It just puts more pressure on us to appear younger than we are. If anything, I’d lie about being older then I am—that way people will think I look great for 68🤣). Getting older has its benefits, if you ask me—all the above and more! Youth does too, obviously, but there is an exchange. Do you have an example? Not bothering what others think about you so much, eating cake for breakfast (although I guess I always did that now and then😬), having more time to myself to pursue activities I haven’t tried before…so many! You? #gettingold #goldenyears #poetsofinstagram #shinybitsinbetween

His daughter loves to go on his shrimp boat but always wants to know when she can see his real pirate ship.

This made me very happy😊 It means so much to hear from readers✨ “My husband and I are new to the RV world and decided to spend our July 4th weekend at the new Bolivar Beach Club. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to stay almost the entire month of July. My husband traveled home during the weeks for work and return on the weekends. So I had great reading time while he was gone. I picked up a copy of Shiny bits in between at the Big Store and I couldn’t put it down! I can’t wait to gift it to my friends and family. We are from Southeast Texas and have spent many summers on Bolivar Peninsula. I know they will all enjoy it as much as I did. I am looking forward to reading the sequel!” Thank you Tina🙏✨ #shinybitsinbetween #bolivarpeninsulatx #gulfcoast #gulfcoastauthors #txauthors #beachread #crystalbeachtx

Just finished this novel—still processing… It’s an unusual tale about a woman who gives birth to an owl baby. Society and her husband are horrified and want to ‘fix’ Chouette. The mother fights for her to be her truest self. Obviously this is heavy on the symbolism. I’ve been seeing a lot of stories like this lately (Starver by Daisy Johnson, Hatching—a new film...) Why is that, do you think? A critic used the term ‘suburban body horror.’ Is it a statement on acceptance of divergent individuals in all their forms? I hope so 👏 #chouettebook #suburbanbodyhorror #feministfairytales #jenvcampbell #shinybitsinbetween #motherslove #owl #readersofinstagram

...............TRIGGER WARNING.............. I cried today while working on the end of my new book. The sequel to Shiny Bits In Between centers around Hurricane Ike and follows the lives of the characters you came to know and love in Shiny Bits. We made this video of the peninsula and the remains of our beloved little yellow house when we were allowed to return on September 26th, 2008 (2 weeks after Ike hit) to "look and leave". This is what my characters see and was an inspiration for the sections I wrote today, but boy, was it hard to write! *And yes, the alligator was alive (although barely, I think) in what was once our back yard. #shinybitsinbetween #littleyellowhouse #HurricaneIke #hurricane #txgulfcoast #crystalbeach #bolivarpeninsula #HurricaneStories #galvestontx #GalvestonCounty #thebigstore
