It should not be controversial to say this, but n@zi lives don’t matter. The world is a better, safer place without Charlie Kirk in it, and I am sick of Democrats gaslighting us into believing otherwise.

Did I finish editing A Shift of Crimson yesterday?

I did.

Did I immediately start the third book in the Hands of the Order series?

Of course.

Am I planning a special boxset release for this trilogy?

Hell yes!

Am I more excited about the future than I have been in a long time?

YES. I. AM.

Since the Drumpf administration has eliminated the Graduate Plus Loan program, my plan to start a PhD next fall is no longer an option, and I am heartbroken and livid. #fuckdonaldtrump

He’s my coworker these days, now that I work from home. Isn’t he the cutest? 🥰

Some info about me:

⭐️ I don’t use generative AI for my books.

⭐️ I’m queer, nonbinary, and disabled.

⭐️ I never write fewer than 5 drafts of any piece of creative writing.

⭐️ I outline all my books at the macro level. Then I outline every chapter at the micro level. THEN I start the rough draft.

Since publishing my debut novel in 2023, this has been my total royalties and pages read through Amazon. I’ve made probably $300-500 more in direct sales from author signings. And while this isn’t substantial, I’m grateful for it. #booksky #authorsky #writingconmunity

It’s so cool that cities are like “pweeease only turn your AC on if you’re actively dying and don’t go below 79 🥺🤘🏻💗” while the AI nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits
