We need to give a big shout-out to @unionriverbookandtoy who was the first bookstore to take a chance on this little Maine author!

Even if my brand of chaotic fantasy isn't your thing, you need to check out their large stock of books , games, stuffies, and toys!

If I remember to post these on time, you should all have a novella title reveal in 2 days! 😆

If all goes to plan, I'd like to release it by this fall.

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks and the title reveal!

If I remember to post these on time, you should all have a novella title reveal in 3 days! 😆

Books 3 (Shadow of Wolves) and book 4 (name tbd) are going to be longer projects. BUT I've been working on a novella for you all.

If all goes to plan, I'd like to release it by this fall.

#BookSky If you love your character-driven fantasy with a hefty helping of mental health rep, LGBTQ+ characters, a dash of romance, where the story wavers between cozy and dark fantasy, set in a diverse world where magic is just returning, check out the chaotic fantasy series Chronicles of Osmaria!

If you love character-driven fantasy with mental health representation, magic just returning to the land, and a diverse cast of characters, then you need to read The Chronicles of Osmaria!

My current read from my local library. Only 5 chapters in and chipping away at it at my kiddos 4-H event. 😁 #Booksky

The LGBTQIA+ community wouldn't be the same without the T. Now more than ever its important to support our Trans siblings and advocate for a brighter future.

📚 Memory is a gift. It's also a curse.

🌿 Found family & cozy fantasy vibes
🧠 Mental health rep

My second book brings back our broken hero and tosses him together with a demisexual heroine who is pushing back against societal and familial expectations. It also expands the cast of characters, many of which are queer and/or disabled.

My first book has the main character dealing with their PTSD from childhood trauma by turning to addiction. It also features a polyamorous family who are a joy to write about.

This is your reminder that I am a queer, neurospicy chaotic fantasy author who writes stories full of mental health representation with queer and disabled characters set in diverse worlds.

I know Meta sucks but its also on Bluesky. I will be posting a designated email for authors to send graphics I can share as well on the platform to promote their books for free. #chaoticquilltavern #chaoticfantasy #chaoticfantasyauthor #booksky #indieauthor #tiktokban #diversebooks

The VPN seems to be working and none of my Tiktok accounts are attached to an American phone number so I am questioning if the "VPN won't work" is misinformation being spread by Meta and the U.S. Government.

I appreciate the chaotic optimism of all the people who've started following me on TikTok over the past few days.

Reviews/ratings are for readers but they are also essential for authors to get their books to the right readers.

If you've read either of my books and wouldn't mind dropping a rating or review on your favorite platform/s, I would greatly appreciate it!

I try to promote diverse reads on my author page but I thought maybe a profile dedicated to just that mission maybe will get more attention and reach. Follow the Chaotic Quill Tavern on Insta, FB, or Bluesky!

I'm here and on YouTube, FB, Insta, Lemon8, and probably other places I forgot about. You'll be seeing a mix of older and new content as I work through stuff and deal with the winter slump.
