LOL.

Remember this?

Yeah...we never went back to the US.

We're setting our roots down in the EU 🐸 🇪🇺

The dayjob is relocating us to the US...

...my non-American partner's visa was denied under dubious circumstances.

We're working through some options now but, I might be looking for new employment soon and it sure as hell won't be in the U.S.

Shiiiiiit.

One bright spark of inspiration was a message from the lovely Will from Become UK (longtime charity partner).

I'm honored to be supporting their big Jingle Jam charity event this year, from 1-14 Dec🎄

I'll be writing a brand adventure just for the occasion! Event details coming soon 💜

Time to resurface again 💜

I very nearly deleted all my social media, utterly burnt out for reasons I hope I'll be able to share soon.

With the current state of the world, it's easy to lose the inspiration to create.

But now, I'm eager to reconnect with you lovely souls. Anyone fancy a group hug?

Hi!! I'd love to help! I'm an editor/publishing consultant, largely for TTRPGs! If creating something in the family-friendly genre, I recommend @tatteredbear.bsky.social , but otherwise I provide support through my own service, Bard Commune.

1st two consultation/mentorship sessions are free ☺️
