I love decorating my author desk for each season, but my fave season hands down is autumn 🍂🍁

Now, excuse me while I bust out out some major spooky writing ☺️

Do you like Arthurian retellings?
I wrote an Arthurian book that follows Arthur and Guinevere's children 20 years after Arthur's death. It has themes of finding out who you are, living up to expectations, and has lots of adventure, magic, and ren faire vibes. Available anywhere books are sold :)

I love gray, rainy fall days, but my SADD does not. I am always super depressed when it rains. Ugh. Stupid depression

I love the stage where you are getting to know your own characters. They go through so many changes and it's so fun to see where they started and where they ended up. #writer #author

Today 100% of my empathy goes to the children who have died by gun violence or suffered injury or trauma because of it. 100% of it.

Do you ever have a thought so good you have to open your notes app in the shower and type out 5 pages worth of an opening chapter??

I’m a published poet!!!

I wrote The Three Deaths for my grandpa’s funeral. I still cry when I read it, but I smile knowing my grandpa will live forever with his name & how much I loved him in the pages of this beautiful book. 🥹

I have to keep reminding myself that I do not have to jump into writing this new story right away. I can let it marinate. It is OK to just think about it for a while and take it slow. And every time I remind myself about that, I feel a sense of calm and relief. No more deadlines for a while!
