Hello readers & friends! Welcome to my world. I'm Caitlin, a fiction writer of mostly middle grade novels, often fantasy and sometimes mystery. Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamed about becoming a detective, a doctor, a wizard, a ballerina, a spy, & on & on & on. So naturally, I settled on children's writer and these days, I try my best to get lost in story.
Come on in to learn more about my current works-in-progress, and to explore my blog and book recommendations!
Stop by Instagram where I often talk about books, share musings about my writing, give peeks into my classroom (I'm a high school English teacher by day), and post way too many pictures of my literary pets.
![Since there are some new faces around here & it’s the start of a new year, I thought I’d do a little #fridayintroductions!

🤓I’m Caitlin, a whimsical nerd.

✨I’ve spent the last two weeks on break from school (where I teach English to freshmen & seniors) getting absolutely lost in stories, Hallmark Christmas movies, Doctor Who, & Killing Eve.
•
🐶 I have two literary pets who I post way too much about. You can see more of them at #darthdaisythedoxielord + #gatsbythegreatdoxie

💗 I’m married to @caseylore & he’s the Rory to my Amy. We’re super nerds together & it’s my favorite thing in the world.

✍🏻 I wrote my first novel last year & I’m getting ready to send it out into the world this year while I work on my second & third.

📚 I love reading, particularly #mglit + mysteries & often share about them here (#readwithcait) and on my new blog space! [link in profile]

🎙 Later this year I’m launching a bookish podcast & I’m giddy about it.

It was hard, but I narrowed down my favorite read of 2018. Some stayed with me all year, while others I found just as 2018 was coming to a close. Hence why I’m sharing my list now, and not two weeks ago! Nevertheless, I’m recommending all of them to you for your 2019 TBR pile if you haven’t found them yet!
