COVER REVEAL TIME! I'm excited to unleash GOATS upon the world & can't wait for publication day. This one is truly a passion project & I've poured so much of my heart & soul into it. The story is not for everyone but I think that's why I love it🍄

If I'm fundraising for a cat rescue & the first thing you say to me is "I hate cats" what're you looking to get out of the convo? I'm not going to agree with you or respond. If someone doing good in your community makes you angry then stay home. The fact that this happened multiple times is WILD

Look, I know I already struggle to remember dates / what day it is, but for some reason I keep thinking Xmas has come and gone already 🤔

When I write, I have comp titles and inspiration movies in mind. But it's fascinating seeing what other titles readers relate my books to. If you're wondering what GOATS is like, here's what my beta readers thought.

With pre-orders & ARC applications coming soon, I think it's time I warn you about GOATS. Some beta readers said the book was almost too gory😈 This psychedelic folk horror story is unlike anything I've ever written before.

I may have locked myself inside to stay warm and get ahead on my writing goals, but that doesn't mean I don't have big plans for the month. Newsletter subscribers get EVERYTHING this Thursday, but the rest of you will have to wait a little longer for freebies, cover reveals, and announcements😉

LAST author event of 2025 😭 I've got plenty of queer and spooky books all packed up and ready to go, along with a selection of Blind Date Bundles for The Book Purge. I don't typically attend Christmas Markets, but I couldn't say no to the Pride Christmas Market hosted by NG Pride🌈🎄See you tomorrow!

Keeping this month's writing update short and sweet because I've spent all morning finishing up draft 1 of a very special project and I might need a break from my computer now 😙

When I started writing Skull Daddy 2 I used the movie “Mother!” as inspiration. But the more I write the more it’s starting to look like “Midsommar”

There are only 2 ways to drink tea:
1. Oh no, I drank it too soon and burned my mouth. I should have waited.
2. Oh no, I waited too long and now my tea is cold. I should have taken a sip right away.

Mark trying to explain a specific car to me: It’s a hatchback
Me who has car-related ptsd and knows nothing about cars unless they’re autobots: explain it to me like I don’t know what that means
Mark explains and then shows me a picture.
Me: oh so it’s a car-shaped car 😀
Mark: 😑

Friend explaining a romantasy book to me: “and there are humanoid spiders”
Me (never having read a romantasy but knowing what the readers want): “so are the spiders f*ckable?”
Another friend: “so YOU’RE the kind of person who writes this stuff!”
I guess so 😅
