If that isn’t life imitating art, I don’t know what is. Lydia Montgomery is the best character I’ve ever written. I am confident in my talent, but I have more faith in these characters. TRAMP is only a glimpse of what’s to come. The first book in the HUSH series is out today. Enjoy. ❤️

<span>After fleeing a tragic past, Lydia’s determined never to go back to the life she left behind at any price. She lands in Grand Haven, California—a city booming with billion-dollar corporations and tech money—and everything changes.</span>
<span>Armed with the only lesson she learned from her mother, Lydia builds a life of routine, solitude, and success.</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">

<span>Nearly a decade after her arrival, Lydia's the highest paid escort in the city, and only the most influential people in Grand Haven can get near her.

<b>About the Author:</b>
<span>Mary Elizabeth was born and raised in Southern California. She is a wife, mother of four beautiful children, and dog tamer to one enthusiastic Pit Bull and a prissy Chihuahua. She's a hairstylist by day but contemporary fiction, new adult author by night.</span>
<span>Mary can often be found finger twirling her hair and chewing on a stick of licorice while writing and rewriting a sentence over and over until it's perfect. She discovered her talent for tale-telling accidentally, but literature is in her chokehold. And she's not letting go until every story is told.</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"> It's that time of year again... </span></center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Ktd4PJ2v381AGin_5jwQI1DBHV7VruqHFa9BhTb9x1HM7TtKrga6WeW_MNTZfF-LkzQUJ7Az27NCAMPRynaVNx-MotaUgJqmkF6OMwlekScE-s1EHtmyZwDloqpqowZ6HVys21cgm44/s1600/360AC6D8-3982-4BDB-A650-EA70C89B0BA6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Ktd4PJ2v381AGin_5jwQI1DBHV7VruqHFa9BhTb9x1HM7TtKrga6WeW_MNTZfF-LkzQUJ7Az27NCAMPRynaVNx-MotaUgJqmkF6OMwlekScE-s1EHtmyZwDloqpqowZ6HVys21cgm44/s400/360AC6D8-3982-4BDB-A650-EA70C89B0BA6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's officially that time of year when we narrow the books we've read during the year down to our Ten Most Favorite. But does anyone really enjoying choosing only ten? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's stressful, and I have too much empathy to exclude a significant book simply because I've reached my limit of allowed favorites. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, for the sake of my mental welfare and because I don't want an enjoyable book to feel left out, here are some of my Favorite Books of 2017--in no particular order:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzuCSLbvqIFS3vNdyWB2-gC9J1xX_ALG_Go6UnCOeuQWOnAUYwfMVI9chuZbWtOxp3r-nmca9WTIJ1DKGxQjH1qxrQCLo72Smu11P9f5iWBZfeaWxyYh9SkH8iNJxWqmIEVguNWWJxKXo/s1600/A9A40445-14CD-4DF9-9F0D-3D8EE27A5BCF.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzuCSLbvqIFS3vNdyWB2-gC9J1xX_ALG_Go6UnCOeuQWOnAUYwfMVI9chuZbWtOxp3r-nmca9WTIJ1DKGxQjH1qxrQCLo72Smu11P9f5iWBZfeaWxyYh9SkH8iNJxWqmIEVguNWWJxKXo/s400/A9A40445-14CD-4DF9-9F0D-3D8EE27A5BCF.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay, I wasn't completely honest. There is a book I loved most during the last twelve months. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another lie. There's TWO! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://amzn.to/2jQFdij">The Hating Game by Sally Thorne</a> is not in a genre I usually read, but I'm an idiot for waiting so long to pick this RomCom up. A little-known fact is that Sally wrote Twilight Fan Fiction before she ever penned The Hating Game, and she was one of my favorite FF authors. So, that makes me a double idiot for not reading her publishing debut the second it hit bookstands. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will love The Hating Game for its humor, its banter, its routine, and for its sizzling love story. The Hating Game is also my <a href="http://amzn.to/2A6cMYB">Favorite Audiobook of 2017.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My second (or first) Favorite Book of 2017 is <a href="http://amzn.to/2BJFpb8">God-Shaped Hole by Tiffanie DeBartolo.</a> God-Shaped Hole was published seven hundred years ago, so I'm a triple idiot for not devouring this epic novel sooner. Tiffanie has a rare talent for writing a story that absolutely embeds itself in your soul. There are few books I consider my most favorite ever, but God-Shaped Hole is definitely one of them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As cliche as this may sound, God-Shaped Hole will change the way you read other books. It'll make you want to be like Trixie, and it'll have you searching for Jacob Grace in everyone. <a href="http://amzn.to/2kqtIlT">God-Shaped Hole is also My Favorite Audiobook of 2017. </a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
44 Chapters about 4 Men was one of the best books I read in 2016, and it introduced me to BB Easton, who's become one of my most cherished friends. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is not on this list twice because she's my bestie; BB is on this list twice because she can tell a motherfucking story, unlike anything I've experienced. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another little-known fact is that since reading 44 Chapters about 4 Men, I hold the coveted title of The First Person Who Gets to Read BB's Books Before They're Published. (Also not a reason why she's on this list twice.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BB writes vivid characters and vibrant settings. The nostalgia she induces is enough to make anyone pull out that box of old pictures and relive their teenage years, bad haircuts and regretful decisions and all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://amzn.to/2jPliAh">SKIN </a>and <a href="http://amzn.to/2kmTY08">SPEED </a>are on my list of Favorite Books of 2017 because they're phenomenal. And because of Knight, who am I kidding. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh, look. Tiffanie DeBartolo is on my list twice, too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the sake of being transparent, I need to be honest and admit I haven't even finished reading this one. The paperback is currently sitting on the nightstand, waiting for me to get to bed to read the next chapter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, you read that right. I haven't finished reading <a href="http://amzn.to/2ikRPhf">How to Kill a Rockstar, </a>and it's on my list as Favorite Reads of 2017. This author is that good. She's so good that any of her future unwritten books are also on this list. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love myself. Therefore I'm on my own list of Favorite Reads of 2017. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just kidding. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://amzn.to/2BITVju">Without Merit</a> by Colleen Hoover is a given favorite. This is the second year in a row Colleen has made my favorites list. It Ends With Us was one of the most impactful novels I read in 2016, and Without Merit may hold that spot this year, too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Without Merit has a Jandy Nelson "The Sky is Everywhere" kind of vibe. It was brave and endearing at the same time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://amzn.to/2BJd2ds">The Opportunist</a> was my introduction to the world of Tarryn Fisher. Since I read the first book in the Love Me With Lies series, I've now read almost everything Tarryn's published and forced her to be my friend. She follows me on Instagram, so we're like, official. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Opportunist was an original story with just enough crazy to remain sweet. If you live under a rock and haven't read a Fisher novel, start here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://amzn.to/2BJd2ds">Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow</a> is my favorite book in the HP series, and it's one of my Favorite Reads of 2017. It goes without saying that I'm a four-times idiot for not reading these books before now, but better late than never. Do they need an explanation as to why they're my favorite? Since completing the series I've gotten a Horcrux tattoo, and Christmas literally threw up Harry Potter all over my house. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But my HP Christmas is the next blog post. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I listened to the Harry Potter audiobooks twice this year, and I know they'll remain on repeat for the rest of my life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://amzn.to/2AsoXxP">The First Time She Drowned</a> is a book I downloaded on Audible because it's narrated by Jorjeana Marie, who is my very favorite narrator. I'll listen to anything sh's attached to, and I am SO glad she lead me to this book. The plot isn't necessarily original, but my god, the characterization Kerry Kletter executed in this tale is top notch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love books about dysfunctional, quirky families, and The First Time She Drowned delivers that. But it also gave me so much more. Each character has dimension and heart, both good and terrible, and how alive they are is how this book captured the title as one of my Favorite Reads of 2017. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://amzn.to/2jRyFjC">IT </a>by Stephen King was a force to be reckoned with this year because of the remake of the movie, and because of the timeless awesomeness. This was my first horror book and my first King novel. Something I didn't expect was to be genuinely frightened by reading the book because I've seen the original movie dozens of times; I was wrong. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's a reason why Stephen King is one of the most successful authors of all time, and now I know. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://amzn.to/2BK4FhD">The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck</a> by Mark Manson came into my life when I needed it the most. There's something about being cursed at in a concerned manner that warms my heart. This book is straight to the point, and that's my favorite part about it. When I'm in need of a quick reminder that life isn't fair, but I'm still a badass, I can quickly find my favorite excerpts and face the day with confidence. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you're looking to improve your quality of life without the sappy "eat, pray, love" bullshit, this is the book for you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://amzn.to/2BDlBFM" target="_blank">Little Big Lies</a> is on this list because I watched the first episode on HBO earlier this year and couldn't stand the anticipation, so I read the book in a day and a half to quench my curiosity. I admire anyone who can weave multiple characters and storylines together to make a cohesive and relatable tale, and Liane Moriarty did that and more with Little Big Lies. She takes her place beside Gillian Flynn as one of my favorite authors. </div>

Is it just me, or are these stupid little catch phrases maddening? Bustle, Scary Mommy, Huffington Post, and Vloggers all over the interwebs use them. <o:p></o:p></div>

When did it become the norm to take a perfectly good word and screw it up? I saw a shirt at Target that had a catchphrase purposefully spelled wrong (Example: Stahp, yaaaass, kewl). If there hadn’t been other people around, I probably would have roundhouse kicked the entire rack over. Life is stressful enough without wearing a misspelled meme shirt. <o:p></o:p></div>

I’m not a particularly deep person. Although, I do pride myself on having an above average compacity for common sense. My judge in character is impeccable. I’m a good friend—a loyal friend. And I have some cool talents, like keeping my kids fed and doing more than one load of laundry per week. But I’m no philosopher. I’ll gladly leave that to the professionals. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
Who am I? And I don’t mean the outside crap that everyone can see. On the outside I’m kind of chubby, covered in tattoos, alone, and more times than not, I’m sleepy. What I mean is, how do I identify myself? Going down the list in my head, I’m old-fashioned. My name is Mary; I'm a straight (white-passing Hispanic) female in her early-thirties. I believe in universal healthcare and recycling. Reading is my favorite pastime, every Saturday you’ll see me at the soccer field dodging other parents, and I change my hair color quite often because I’m a seasoned hairstylist. I’m also a non-writing writer. <o:p></o:p></div>

I’ll let you in on a little secret: I cried on my thirtieth birthday, mourning the loss of my twenties. My husband wanted to throw me a party, but I threatened his life and avoided everyone who tried to wish me a happy birthday. What the fuck was so celebratory about turning thirty? Nothing. I literally came down with bronchitis and woke up with a single white eyebrow hair. The physical stuff only worsened in the three years since, too. My back aches, my memory is garbage, and I'm usually in bed by 9 pm because I can't hang. It’s ridiculous. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
Let me tell you another secret: I’ve never been happier. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="text-indent: 0.25in;">There used to be a time when I dwelled on everything as if I was powerful enough to change anything out of my control. I was passive, subservient, and I avoided conflict if it made someone uncomfortable. I accepted bad relationships with family and friends because it was easier than the alternative. People didn’t like my personality, so I’d force a smile because it made them happy.</span></div>

There was a time when I worked at a salon I hated because I wasn’t confident enough to move on to something better. I gave half of a story close to my heart to an undeserving brat who had no business writing a single word of it because I didn’t think I was good enough to do it alone. That same story was plagiarized by another shameless motherfucker who still has the nerve to write, and dare I say she’s probably more successful than me. <o:p></o:p></div>

I hated turning thirty, but I am in love with my thirties. My back hurts by the end of the day, but I'm a fucking badass. My husband and I worked for everything we have and everything we've accomplished. I'm demanding and pushy and brutally honest because I refuse to be a doormat. <o:p></o:p></div>

Mr. Elizabeth said this after I woke up crying because my feelings were hurt by people close to me, and it’s so damn true. Setbacks are part of the process, but I refuse to be that person who sweeps their problems under the rug because it’s easier. I’ve watched this behavior destroy people, and the cycle ends here. My children will know better, and because of this, my children’s children will too. <o:p></o:p></div>

Don’t assume this brilliance was bestowed upon me the moment I entered my third decade on this planet. There’s plenty I need to work on, such as my inability to forgive, a total lack of organization, and the part I mentioned about being a non-writing writer. It would probably be a good idea to pay less attention to my phone and more attention to my family. I eat too much sugar, drive too fast, and loath to clean the microwave. <o:p></o:p></div>

I’m not perfect, and I’m in no way trying to convince you I am with this post. During my trip to Seattle last month, I had the opportunity to see Rachel Hollis speak. If you don’t know who she is, do yourself a favor and remedy that. She’s inspiring, but she’s exhausting. Rachel was recently in a car accident, and instead of taking the day off, she went to work. When she was sick, she spent the day watching YouTube videos and taught herself how to braid. She coaches her kids’ sports team, runs a business, changes lives with her #90daychallange, and eats like a bird. I can handle about four days of her perfection before I want to troll her ass, but that’s usually when she reminds me she is utterly human by talking about anxiety, addiction, or the gross reality of being a woman in today’s world.<o:p></o:p></div>

Bad stuff happens to you, me, and Rachel Hollis. It’s inevitable. What is in our control is how we deal with it. I decided to start small by not ranting on social media every time someone adds me to a group, not making my readers uncomfortable by including them in the dirty side of the business, or freaking out when someone sells my ARCs, pirates my book, or leaves me a bad review. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
I’ve also accepted that while I’m no Rachel Hollis, people do look up to me. I’m open about my anxiety/panic disorder, writer’s block, and the basic hardships I deal with on a day to day basis. Some of you see yourselves in me. It’s something I think about anytime I’m online. It’s also something I take into consideration as my children get older. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
So, who am I even? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
I’m the abandoned, anxious girl who beat the odds and flourished despite the odds stacked against me. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mary Elizabeth is an up and coming author who finds words in
chaos, writing stories about the skeletons hanging in your closets.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Known as The Realist, Mary was born and raised in Southern California. She is a
wife, mother of four beautiful children, and dog tamer to one enthusiastic Pit
Bull and a prissy Chihuahua. She's a hairstylist by day but contemporary
fiction, new adult author by night. Mary can often be found finger twirling her
hair and chewing on a stick of licorice while writing and rewriting a sentence
over and over until it's perfect. She discovered her talent for tale-telling
accidentally, but literature is in her chokehold. And she's not letting go
until every story is told.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Anxiety, Cancer, & What the F*ck
is Happening to Me? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“The uncomplicated
explanation: my mind can’t be trusted.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">That’s the
very first sentence from my novel <u><a href="http://amzn.to/2qYgv5P" target="_blank">True Love Way.</a></u> Not everyone may know
this, but I wrote the first draft of that book ten years ago, when I was only
beginning my battle with an anxiety and panic disorder that I’ve grown to know
well. If you haven’t read the book, I’ll give you a spoiler-free rundown: The
protagonist, Penelope Finnel, like me, suffers from mental illness. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Like most
tales, TLW was dramatized, but most of Penelope’s struggle originated from my
own bouts with my traitorous imbalances. At the time, True Love Way was an unexpected
outlet, lending a voice to an inner struggle I was incapable to describe
otherwise. I’ve since learned I suppressed emotions from a not-so-steady
childhood, but my disorder didn’t turn on me until my early twenties, after the
birth of my twin daughters. It started as a mild case</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">—</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">very: <i>my heart feels
weird</i> and<i> why can’t I sleep?</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Fast forward
to today, and well, if you follow me on social media, you know it’s now like: <i>WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING TO ME? I’M DYING.
THIS IS WHAT DEATH FEELS LIKE. I CAN’T FEEL MY FACE WHEN I’M WITH YOU. (Not The
Weeknd version, either.) PARANOIAAAAAAA!</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">And that
isn’t dramatized a single bit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I’ve recognized
that my disorder worsens with age since the jump. In the beginning, I didn’t
need daily medication, and now I can’t function if I miss a dose. Which is
fine. Swallowing a little blue pill before bed is thoughtless at this point,
but deep inside, I knew—I knew it was changing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">To most of
you, I’m merely Mary Elizabeth, that author from California with bright pink
hair, who pens semi-popular novels. But what you see on my Facebook page and my
Instagram account is a persona I’ve carefully crafted for your enjoyment. We
all do it. We know what filter makes our skin look best, what angle makes us
look thinnest, and what boring/depressing/ true-to-life details to leave out of
our posts so people like us. And that’s normal! Who wants someone on their
timeline who complains about real-life dilemmas every. single. day? We’re here
for the books and watered-down realities! Hooray! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">If you’ve
had the pleasure of meeting me at a book event, that means you’ve seen the
“real” me in action. I’m painfully introverted, and my RBF <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=resting+bitch+face" target="_blank">(Resting Bitch Face)</a>
can scare away the strongest of wills. My sister-in-law joins me at every
signing, acting as a barrier between my horrifying awkwardness and the readers
I don’t mean to offend with it. Don’t get me wrong. I love my readers and
appreciate anyone who takes the time to stop at my table, but my brain goes
blank! If you ask me what my books are about, my answer will always be,
“words.” That’s when my sister jumps in and gives the lowdown. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Some things
should be sacred. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Ignore I
said that for a minute and allow me to introduce myself—my real self. My hair
is, in fact, not pink. I’m a mother, wife, daughter, and so on. My life is
simple. I really do love to read books, most of my week revolves around little
league games, and I have a mean case of RLS<a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Restless+Leg+Syndrome" target="_blank"> (Resting Leg Syndrome).</a> Because of
the restlessness in my legs and arms, I smell like muscle rub ALL THE TIME,
because it’s the only thing that stops the spider-like feeling in my limbs when
I relax. I don’t have a lot of friends, my dogs are precious to me, and I grew
up without a dad. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I’m
thirty-two years old, and it wasn’t until recently—like, last week—when I
realized it influenced who I am more than I ever expected. Priding myself on my
inability to “need” another person, I sometimes come off as cold. I considered
this a personality flaw, but thanks to my new therapist, I now know it’s
because I have abandonment issues running deep in my bones. The truth is, we all
need someone. We need human interaction, and we need to be hugged and kissed
and appreciated. Everyone needs a person to lean on sometimes, and for the very
first time in my life, I know this includes me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">My husband
and I have been together for fourteen years. His parents have been my in-laws
for fourteen years. Mark, my husband’s father, has played the only stable
father role I’ve ever had for the last fourteen years. I didn’t want it, but
the man knew I needed it, and he gave me love without question. He literally
asked me to move in before Jason (my husband) ever got the chance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Okay, so
here I am, nineteen years old with a father for the first time in my life. I’m
awkward, I don’t know what to do, I crash into his corvette frame with my car
not once but twice, and the man still wants me around. He’s grumpy, and I’m
grumpy, and no one rolls down the windows in his truck, but I do! It’s like we
were cut from the same cloth, and I eventually relax and let the man father me.
He even asked why I don’t call him Dad, but I can’t. I literally can’t, because
he deserves more than that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Seven years
ago, he was diagnosed with kidney cancer, so he had it removed and was given a
clean bill of health. Two and half years ago, it came back, but this time they
said he only has six months to live. It’s in his brain, his lymph nodes, and in
his other kidney. No cure. No hope. No options. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It activated
those pesky abandonment issues, but at this point I’m still suppressing them. Mark
has brain surgery, and it gives him more time</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">—</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">two years. On the outside, he seems
fine, and it’s easy to forget the only father who has ever loved me is going to
leave too. Life goes on. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Now they’re
saying he only has months left, and it’s impossible to forget that every time I
see him might be the last. The pressure of making every interaction special, to
make sure we say what needs to be said, and to take all the pictures because
memories. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Cancer is
the reason I’ve cancelled my out-of-state book events and won’t do any until
after he’s gone. Cancelling events never feels good, and it probably doesn’t
make me seem dependable. Using the good ol’ family emergency excuse seems to go
in one ear and out the other because people tend to use it for everything. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">True to
form, I’d rather someone think I’m a flake than risk the chance of spilling my
heart. Even if it does earn me a few cold shoulders. Some things should be
sacred. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This blog
post is the most I’ve written in four months aka the second indicator that I
was on the brink of the worst anxiety attack of my life. In the eleven years
since I wrote my first fictional paragraph, I’ve had uninspired weeks, and I’ve
taken time off. What I never experienced was true writer’s block until now. The
inability to even look at my computer without cringing is brand new to me, to
the point where I unplugged it and put it away. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Look, I know
Mary Elizabeth hovers in the gray area between “unknown” and “known”. I’m not
conventional, my writing style isn’t for everyone, and I’m literally friendly
with all, but I don’t consider myself part of the cool kids—which I’m fine
with. There is probably so many grammar and spelling mistakes in this sorry
couple thousand words, because I really have no idea how to be an author. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I don’t
write for the funds because I’m a very successful hairstylist (and my husband
makes the money, let’s be real) but the money I do make from writing is nice
and I look forward to earning more using my creativity in the coming years. I
pen books because I genuinely love it, so not being able to is heartbreaking.
The thought of disappointing readers adds to my anxiety, and it’s a vicious
motherfucking cycle that I desperately need to break free from. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Continuing
the honesty theme, I will tell you this: I wanted to end this post by
announcing that I’m back and Sever will be released soon and blah, blah, blah.
But that’s not true. My hands shake thinking about opening my current WIPs, and
I have a therapy appointment in thirty minutes that I desperately need to reset
my mind to functional for another week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">More
honesty: I know exactly what triggered the mental change in me. Everything I’ve
talked about to this point was only the tip of the ice berg that ripped me
apart. I’m not going to talk about it because somethings need to stay sacred,
remember? Humans are complicated, but we are resilient, and I’ll be okay. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">But I will
end this by saying thank you to every single person who messaged me and reached
out during the last couple weeks. Your understanding and solidarity is what
lead to me a place where I did open my laptop to write this. I know a lot of
people suffer with an assortment of disorders like myself, and it’s cool that
we have each other’s backs. This is an amazing community of people. Don’t let
anyone tell you different. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">You are
sacred. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Who’s also not … gay. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">It was a one-time thing. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">It didn’t mean anything. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">They like girls.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">At least, that’s what these boys of summer tell themselves as they pretend it wasn’t more than experimentation. With only four weeks left before they leave town for college, Christopher and Jeremy awkwardly navigate their way through a series of unfortunate (or very fortunate) events. Often leaving them breathless, conflicted, and dressed in nothing but a pair of socks. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Because socks are less gay. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">As their time together comes to an end, will Christopher and Jeremy accept that love doesn’t discriminate, or will they put their swords up for good?</span></span></center>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Teaser: </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Green eyes outlined with bruises are bright with desire, and his large hands rest on each side of my neck. My hair’s in a messy bun, and it took effort to wash my body and brush my teeth this morning, so I don’t know why I feel beautiful under his stare. But I do.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“Why do you even care if he kissed me?” I ask, inhaling a shaky breath.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">His thumb sweeps across my collar bone, and Teller licks his busted lip, pulling me closer until our bodies are flush. “How can I not?”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“What are we doing?” I give no protest as he pushes me toward the bed, and gladly open my legs for him once my back hits the soft mattress. “What is this, Tell?”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Broken lips leave bloody kisses on my skin, starting from the soft spot under my ear to the hollow part of my throat. He holds himself up on his hands, indenting in the pillow under my head, and strokes deeply against my softest place.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Teller’s big, and hard, and barely sober, but with only my leggings and his boxer separating us, I don’t mind getting drunk on his breath, his skin, his one hundred proof lust. Sliding my hands up his sides, my fingers tremble over muscles that flex each time he thrusts against me.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“Tell me what this isn’t,” Teller whispers, lowering himself to his elbows. “Try to tell me this isn’t everything.”</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Author Bio:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Mary Elizabeth is an up and coming author who finds words in chaos, writing stories about the skeletons hanging in your closets.</p>
Known as The Realist, Mary was born and raised in Southern California. She is a wife, mother of four beautiful children, and dog tamer to one enthusiastic Pit Bull and a prissy Chihuahua. She's a hairstylist by day but contemporary fiction, new adult author by night. Mary can often be found finger twirling her hair and chewing on a stick of licorice while writing and rewriting a sentence over and over until it's perfect. She discovered her talent for tale-telling accidentally, but literature is in her chokehold. And she's not letting go until every story is told.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mary Elizabeth is an up and coming author who finds words in chaos, writing stories about the skeletons hanging in your closets. <br /> <br /> Known as The Realist, Mary was born and raised in Southern California. She is a wife, mother of four beautiful children, and dog tamer to one enthusiastic Pit Bull and a prissy Chihuahua. She's a hairstylist by day but contemporary fiction, new adult author by night. Mary can often be found finger twirling her hair and chewing on a stick of licorice while writing and rewriting a sentence over and over until it's perfect. She discovered her talent for tale-telling accidentally, but literature is in her chokehold. And she's not letting go until every story is told.</span></span></div>

It’s hard living on the wrong side of the tracks.</center>
<center>
Lowen Seely has a criminal record to prove it. Determined not to follow in his father’s footsteps, he fights instinct and tries honesty. But hunger becomes painful, and bills are due. Forced to choose between what is right and wrong, the boy from the hood learns abiding by the rules is nearly impossible when corruption is in your blood.</center>
<center>
Falling for an outlaw has changed everything.</center>
<center>
Poesy Ashby is the definition of ride or die, even when it means turning her back on freedom. The girl from the suburbs gives conformity the middle finger. Bonnie and Clyde have nothing on her love story.</center>
<center>
On the run with consequences in the rearview mirror, Lowen and Poesy accept the truth: they are the bad guys.</center>
<center>
But can they get away with their crimes?</center>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It’s hard living on the wrong side of the tracks.<br /> <br /> Lowen Seely has a criminal record to prove it. Determined not to follow in his father’s footsteps, he fights instinct and tries honesty. But hunger becomes painful, and bills are due. Forced to choose between what is right and wrong, the boy from the hood learns abiding by the rules is nearly impossible when corruption is in your blood. <br /> <br /> Falling for an outlaw has changed everything.<br /> <br /> Poesy Ashby is the definition of ride or die, even when it means turning her back on freedom. The girl from the suburbs gives conformity the middle finger. Bonnie and Clyde have nothing on her love story. <br /> <br /> On the run with consequences in the rearview mirror, Lowen and Poesy accept the truth: they are the bad guys. <br /> <br /> But can they get away with their crimes?</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">“Keep the engine running,” I say. “If I’m not out in five minutes, leave.” </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Poe nods her head, but doesn’t argue. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> When the nine o’clock hour comes, both she and I watch the clock on the dashboard turn to one minute after. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> “You’ll need to keep your mask on, Poesy. Make sure none of your hair is showing,” I say. “Keep your head down the entire time.” </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> “Okay,” she answers in a small voice. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> “If you see cops—” </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> “I know what to do, Lowen. I know you want me to leave you.” She sighs. “But I don’t know if I can.” </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Despite our circumstances, I smirk. “Hopefully you won’t have to.” </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> At nine thirty, Poe and I switch seats, and she gets behind the wheel while I load the pistol. With hands that shake uncontrollably, I place the ski mask over my head but don’t pull it down my face. I help Poesy with hers, tucking in every stray strand of hair so they remain unseen. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">She grabs my wrist, and our eyes meet. I see fear combined with love and loyalty in her stare. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> I kiss her knuckles and promise with the chance of lying, “We’re going to be okay.” </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Unlike when we drove into the garage, the streets are alive and filled with a variety of automobiles, and dirty sidewalks carry several pedestrians. The forty-second drive to the bank feels like forty years. Thick blood courses through my veins, and I feel it flow through arteries and vessels, nourishing muscle and bone. My head echoes with the thump, thump, thump of my hard heartbeat. Every breath is shallower than the one before it. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> “Pull down your mask,” I say, but my voice sounds foreign and feels a million miles away. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> As Poe drives into California Credit Union’s parking lot, I grip the cold steel in my hand. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> The edges of my vision blur; I’m blinded by adrenaline. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> My skin crawls like I’m covered in spiders; I’m delirious with edginess. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> “Your ski mask,” Poesy shrieks. “Cover your fucking face, Lowen.” </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> My girl reaches over and pulls it down for me. The car stops to a screeching halt, and reality crashes into me in a brutal rush, stripping me of air and voice. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> “If we’re in this, you need to go,” Poesy says in a calm but stern tone, hidden behind her black mask. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> There’s peace in her eyes. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> There’s strength in the girl who stayed with me when I was locked up. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The one who’s remained by my side, believing and starving all at the same time. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> With the gun in my hand and determination in my heart, I leave Poesy in the car and push open the glass double doors into the bank. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> As I step foot onto the burgundy carpet, I yell, “Everyone down on the fucking floor!”</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mary Elizabeth is an up and coming author who finds words in chaos, writing stories about the skeletons hanging in your closets. <br /> <br /> Known as The Realist, Mary was born and raised in Southern California. She is a wife, mother of four beautiful children, and dog tamer to one enthusiastic Pit Bull and a prissy Chihuahua. She's a hairstylist by day but contemporary fiction, new adult author by night. Mary can often be found finger twirling her hair and chewing on a stick of licorice while writing and rewriting a sentence over and over until it's perfect. She discovered her talent for tale-telling accidentally, but literature is in her chokehold. And she's not letting go until every story is told.</span></span></div>
