What can you expect if you read Wastelands? All these things. Having said that (or written it in squiggle form) I didn't set out to write any particular tropes.

I haven't shared my goals for the last couple of months because they have been chaotic. And to be frank, September will also be chaotic. And October. But in the meantime I have just one little month off normalcy before the chaos takes over so let's get it done!

The neighbourhood cat celebrity decided to stop by and help me hit today's word count. Sure he's not OUR cat but if he's willing to serve me cuddles and motivation I'm willing to accept it!

Love books with strong women who refuse to backdown? I've banded together with a group of other authors to offer up a killer selection of books to get lost in. All of these books feature strong protagonists in dystopian settings - check them out at the link in my bio!

Some people say I make too many elaborate lists. And to those people I say ... well, I don't say anything because they are right. But it can be fun. Occasionally stressful. But mostly fun.

You know when you're like, 'I should totally write a prequel short. Okay, but about what?' And then suddenly within the next hour you've come up with three ideas and written one of them already? Me either USUALLY but it happened today and it was awesome.

I decided to mix it up and do a bingo card! Let's see if I can get a line (that's how it works right? I've never actually played Bingo).

We went and saw historical houses including an iron age hut and a mill wheel and Prince Llewelyn's court! I frolicked (like a LADY) and learned about milling and Welsh myths. A great day!

It took me a hot minute but I made my Q2 goals or "Quarterly Quests" as Ali Abdaal calls it (and I'm just the right level o nerdy to really love that).
They are largely the same as Q1 but with mostly lower expectations. 😂

Twenty years ago I was living in my first apartment out of home and my housemate had a dream. She dreamed of a dead city, and one small shoot of green making it's way through a crack in the pavement in a forgotten corner. That image stayed with me over the years and this book is the result.

You guys, I cannot tell you how unimaginably excited I am to actually have a cover for my very own book!! Just one week until I can share it with everyone! (Those on my newsletter will get to see it first!)
