Happy new year, all! ๐ŸŽ‰ It's been a great year of booksโ€”this is every one I finished in 2025, plus some honorable mentions. Also, at the end there's a little look at the books I published.

It's been a wild ride, thank you for following along with me. Looking forward to 2026's reads & releases! ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™
Hell yeah.

Can't reply to every comment but just wanted to add that I appreciate all the reassurances. I was going to talk about my writing & share the stories I read and love anywayโ€”but it's nice to see that so many others are going through similar thoughts and are so supportive of these outlets. ๐Ÿ’™
January 10, 2026 at 5:57 PM
Yeah that's kind of what I was attempting to say. Like, trying to draw a line between ignoring all this and just choosing not to engage in *this space*. Because I prefer to that from thisโ€”and engage with the rest elsewhere. Idk, the words are hard lol.

Total silence doesn't feel right, and too many people (especially in the US) aren't aware or don't care because it's not affecting them (so far).

I will be at the polls. If I can, I will join local protests and volunteer my time at the polls again. In the meantime, I'd like to talk about books.
January 10, 2026 at 3:23 PM
For me, this is a bookish space, and that is what I intend to keep it as. I will continue to share my books, because I need to; I will continue to share other authors' stories, because we need to support one another.

But I wanted to at least say that ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฑ and ๐ŸงŠ were on my mind.

I came into 2026 excited to share my new book, indie author reviews, and continue being a part of this community I love.

Everything feels tainted by recent events. In the back of my head, sometimes I wonder how much of it matters. It's hard to talk about stories I love in the face of all this.

If you preordered your copy of COPPER SKIN, OAKEN LUNGS direct from me... You might want to check your mail next week. ๐Ÿ‘€

Yes, I know the book technically releases Feb. 3, but I'm doing all this publishing stuff on my lonesome, sometimes I make mistakes. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I've never had to sign so many books at once. Thank you for all the love.

Bookmarks are in! One will be included with each paperback from me, and from participating bookstoresโ€”the ones who I am directly supplying (like the crafty bookstore and witch wood bookshoppe). Also a few local shops in Vermont, once I finally get around to it. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Oh. ๐Ÿ‘€

Speaking from the experience of following AJ's monthly indie release posts, I love that sort of content lol.

Even if I don't plan on buying anything it's cool to just see what is coming out, satisfies some weird curiosity lol.
