Just another author creating science fantasy worlds filled with tragic heroes, complex magic, a dash of romance, and of course, a bit with a dog. She/Her
Pinned
Just in case you’re seeing me for the first time and have no idea what sort of stuff I write, I made one of those trope-y thingies for my two epic science fantasy novels: fantasies with sci-fi elements, tragedies with uplifting endings, and epic adventures with relatable characters.✨
As Monday morning approaches, here’s just another reminder:

Because of the number of people it reaches and because of the type of platform it is, I have been posting this on 🧵every day. Today, I am going to start posting it here every day, too:

I have been doing my best to channel rebellion-era ROTJ Luke Skywalker energy all day.

I’m not bouncing back from running a marathon the way I used to.

Tomorrow I will focus on books again. Today, my body is being mean to me out of revenge for forcing it to run for 26.2 miles. 🤪

This is the marathon I’ve been struggling to train for, the one I had emotionally prepared myself to DNF after years of health challenges… and I finished it! All 26.2 miles! It was this Herc’s slowest marathon, but Pegasus and the pacer group we joined at Mile 21 got me through.

Long day of busting my rear to meet deadlines before this weekend’s marathon, but heard from my husband that a guy he works with is near the end of Book 2 and is legit worried about the fates of certain characters ahead of the final battle. 🫣🥰💖

Whoa! I did not expect so many notifications this morning. I’m doing my best to follow all you lovely folks back. 🥰

I swear that I’ll be more active next week. I’m just trying to make work deadlines while prepping for a trip to run a full marathon that I feel woefully unprepared for (longest run was 19 miles) and I’m juggling two young puppies. But for now, “Hello there.”

Hello, lovely people, new friends and old friends.
I write stuff. I paint stuff. I geek out about stuff. And I’m currently gearing up to run my 9th full marathon this weekend at the ripe old age of 49. Let’s hope I make all 26.2 miles! In the meantime, check out my books.
💖Stars light your way! ✨

Three years ago at the stroke of midnight on NYE, I released my debut novel into the world. Here’s to my third anniversary of being a published author, and Happy New Year!

Just finished "Dead Edna" by @djrunnels.bsky.social. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Engaging story, well-drawn characters, lots of twists and turns, funny, absurd but never unbelievable, ghosts, murders, and one very chaotic Thanksgiviing — all in all, a fun read!

Not going to lie, but of all the stuff I have done in Procreate over the last year, this book release composite using Frank Fradella’s amazing cover art for SONG OF THE STARBORN and my own original closeups of Olivia, Mal, Phoebe, and Casey is one of my favorites.

Grateful for this 5-Star review on Thanksgiving morning, and I’m excited to announce that the ebook editions of both THE SWORD AND THE SPARK and SONG OF THE STARBORN are priced as low as Amazon will let me make them now through December 27th!

I love painting my book characters and finding different ways to capture the key players in my stories. For this, I layered monochromatic paintings over the complete text of the first POV chapter for each main character in The Sword and the Spark: the hero, the princess, the orphan, and the ghost.

I’m desperately trying to keep up with new follows and posts, but these two new additions to the family have kept me busy and exhausted all weekend. Introducing Leia and Kylo, a hilarious and adorable pair of Havanese half-sibling puppies.
