Audiobook Addition
Reverence is a masterpiece that explores the intricate layers of defection, acceptance, intrigue, suspicion, and human connection.

In the footsteps of the ballerinas 🩰

It’s always amazing to walk in Paris and see the streets and landmarks that made it into Reverence. It feels like Katarina & Juliette are by my side 🥰

I keep telling everyone, become a member of Author's Guild. As authors we have very little power and protection, no union and no way to stand up the big guys. So use the tools that we do have and Author's Guild is one of them.

They STOLE all of my books. Years of my life, my soul to sell their apps to people who then use AI for "plotting" or to "brainstorm ideas"...

If you're using AI for all those "innocent" things, you're stealing, from me, from my fellow authors. You're complicit.

I rarely visit the Blue Skies, because I am lost in all the social media and it gives me anxiety on top of my already spiking anxiety, but when I do visit, it's to scroll though Bodega Cats feed. CATTOS make everything better 😍
