Sharing another excerpt from my YA book. This one begins setting the groundwork for motive behind the mortifying actions of the antagonist (and perhaps other characters).

Before November comes to an end I wanted to share a quick excerpt from my YA WIP I’ll be resuming querying on come January!

This book has gone through 8 drafts in almost 2 years. Hopefully 2026 is the year it finds itself a home with an agent 🚗💨

Today I want to share my synopsis for my WIP. This story is now on draft 8 and I’m expecting to have it ready for pitching (again) come January!

If you read this on the back of a book would you be called to pick it up and take it home? 🐍

The American flag waves today for the preservation of democracy, for the citizens of this nation to come together amidst our differences.

If we don’t use our voices now, we the people risk losing them.

Donald Trump MUST be impeached.

I have been so uncertain about what content to create when it comes to the contemporary YA I’m writing.

On draft 7 and there are some things I needed to visualize, therefore a sneak peek seemed appropriate 🥲📖 lmk if you like it (: it took forever!!

One sentence pitch for the YA contemporary book I’m querying 👇 would you be interested based on this alone? 🤨📕

“If you’re willing to submit to the game, The Bad Habits Entourage will deliver fortune and fame, but not without tolls being paid.”

Fellow writers, readers… while I’m plowing through the query trenches, waiting on responses, I thought I’d share more than the first line to my book, The Bad Habits Entourage.

Hope you enjoy it 📖

Is the opening line of my book on query attention grabbing?

“A career psychiatrist may have too, missed all the signs. Or upon diagnosis, after connecting disguised symptoms, inked in their legal-length notepad:

Johnny Hawkins has always been doomed.”

Stumbled through a protest today and took some photographs. For a moment I felt hope. Our voices matter and we must use them if we are to save democracy 📣🇺🇸

Update on my wip:

• I’ve sent parts 1 and 2 to a couple readers for review
• 400 words into part 3
• Total word count: 41,000
• Roughly 19,000 more words

Extremely excited about this story and hopefully in today’s political climate, it can make a difference.

I wanted to share this here. Excuse the misspelling. I’m often a little too fast editing my TikTok’s. Enjoy this short video explaining my book I’m working on. #booksky #writer
