This is an anti colonization account.
Today especially, we remember the lives, cultures, and lands horrifically taken from Indigenous people by colonizers.
May we remember and keep further harm from happening.

ARC Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

An immersive scifi story about life, death, faith, doubt, and balance. Incredible world building, intriguing characters, and the writing is impeccable. A. D. Sui blew me away.

Community is so important.

I'm glad to have friends and be a part of something bigger than myself.

I'm a part of the Indie writing community and we build each other up, speak when others can't, shelter others from bigotry and hatred.

First lines of my current WIP. The Holy Man is a folk horror about a mother willing to do anything to free her child from an encroaching evil. It's set in an adjacent early 20th century Appalachia.

Think Christy mixed with the X Files.

I started Tomes, Thieves, and Magical Things as an outlet for my feelings about my past, grief, political and religious views. Whether or not it will be in the hands of readers some day, we'll see.
