Traveling With T hit the road to Destin, Florida for the first time from September 13th-September 18th. Being a beach lover, any chance I can get to feel the sand between my feet, the waves crashing in, and smell the sweet salt air- I’m down for it.
This trip was a bit different than my normal road-tripping to the beach- my niece is 9 months old- and we all (both sets of grandparents, my brother & SIL, and me) went to Destin- to spend some time together, to relax, to have fun. The following pictures and thoughts sum my first trip to Destin. Continue reading
Last week, while I was on vacation- Ashley at Forever Ashley tagged Traveling With T in this new blog tour that has been going around- where the “tag-e” tells the internets how they write! Being that I was on vacation and wasn’t writing (well unless you count my name in the sand- which I totes love to do when on the beach!) I was a bit unsure what I’d write about my writing. Then I began looking around my room at the condo- and realized that even though I was on vacation- I had brought the tools of my writing life with me…. Continue reading

A few weeks ago, St. Martin’s Press contacted Traveling With T about “Hosting and Posting a Tea Party for BLOOD OF AN ENGLISHMAN”. I immediately accepted- and began planning my tea party. Was I going to have some book buddies over? Drink tea in various locations? Invite my sister-in-law over for a cuppa of tea while I play with my adorable niece, Miss A? Oh, the possibilities were endless. Then, I found I would be out of town the week of the “Host and Post”. So, this tea party hit the road to Destin! Continue reading

Let’s All Be Brave
Annie Downs Tells Stories to Light a Fire of Courage in Every Reader, Because Bravery Will Change the World
Annie Downs admits she’s not exactly the bravest girl in the world. She still cries sometimes when she leaves her parents’ home in Georgia, she’s never jumped out of a plane, and she only rides roller coasters to impress boys. But Annie knows that courage resides inside each and every one of us. In her new book, Let’s All Be Brave, she’s on a mission to triumph over her own fears while encouraging the reader to do the same.
As a single young woman, writer, speaker, and blogger, Annie Downs shares her journey toward bravery with honesty and humor. Using wonderful stories from her own life, contemporary real-life examples, and fascinating historical and biblical references, Annie encourages readers to grab hold of the brave life that they desperately desire.
How often does fear hold us back from the very things we most want to taste, touch, and experience? The call to be brave isn’t just for one person—it’s for everyone. Let’s All Be Brave is more than a book; it’s a battle cry. Annie challenges us to live boldly. She calls us to step into those places that require courage. She gives us the help to take the next step forward—even when it’s scary.
This non-fiction, essay-driven book opens the door to many different views of courage—nudging, encouraging, and inspiring readers to be brave whenever given the chance.

Will Guidry’s career as a backwater lawyer is going nowhere until he has a couple of beers with up-and-coming political operative Tucker Callahan, whose family’s petrochemical fortune instills in him a confidence bordering on hubris. As Tucker explains to his rudderless brother, Carter, “Guidry and I made a deal because he needed a miracle and I wanted to play God.”
Guidry rides Tucker’s political horse sense into the office of Louisiana’s Attorney General, while Tucker capitalizes on Guidry’s victory to bolster his own political reputation. But what should become a powerful alliance deteriorates into a bitter feud when Guidry tries to flex his political muscle and Tucker suspects he may have maneuvered a calculating sociopath into the marble halls of power.
Caught in the crossfire is Carter, the story’s narrator. Devastated by betrayal at the hands of his brother and the woman he loved for a lifetime, a brooding Carter remains content to watch the power struggle between Tucker and Guidry from the sidelines. Everything changes when he stumbles on the charismatic attorney general committing a monstrous crime, and finds himself drawn into the vortex of his brother’s private war.
Racing from a bungled execution through ruthless political payback and a no-holds-barred courtroom showdown, before culminating in a bloodbath by the side of a bayou, the stakes continue to rise and Carter finds his small-town naiveté peeling away. Replacing it is a mounting dread of what will happen when the hammer of Fate meets destiny’s anvil.
