Mark Your Calendars! Book Launch Scheduled!

So excited to announce that we'll be launching Darling Girl, my debut novel, at BookPeople on the corner of 6th and North Lamar, on Sunday, October 21, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. I'll be reading, answering questions, and signing books purchased at BookPeople. You can pre-order your copy of Darling Girl now at https://www.bookpeople.com/event/terry-h-watkins-darling-girl. I hope to see you there.

Every writer should have a professional library that includes books aimed at both the craft and business of writing. Here are a few of the resources you'd find on my shelves. (This list is tailored for U.S. writers, but I am sure there are equivalents in your countries.) You won't need every book or magazine on this list, but you'll definitely find at least some of them useful.
