Thanks!

When I worked at the airport bookstore I had someone come in requesting I recommend her a "famous" book so she "didn't waste [her] time." I showed her the bestsellers and also the classics. None of this seemed to satisfy her and she left empty-handed. I'm still not sure what she was looking for. ???

Fashion. I think.

I published my first novel yesterday. I'm very proud and probably very annoying about it to everyone i know tbh lol

I hope you like it!

thank you! (you get likes from BOTH my accounts because I'm very grateful!)

And finally I have a couple of signed copies on my Ko-Fi as well.

For some reason Amazon is listing the paperback as a separate listing and also not showing the cover but whatever. www.amazon.com/Guardian-Oll...

No plans really, just announcing and linking on all my platforms and probably correcting a bunch of links on Goodreads and stuff for a bit lol.

In my upcoming book Gabriel was originally just my MC's boss when I needed her to get a phone call, but he wound up acquiring a husband and kid and backstory, doing a lot of Plot Things as well as being a good confidante, and being generally delightful. As a bonus, my proofreader adored him.

I *always* end up going "ah yes I need a throwaway character to make a plot thing happen" and then they end up way more significant than expected. I have learned not to give them stupid filler names because it ends up being really awkward ten chapters in when I'm writing something emotional.

Submissions open Feb 1, 2026. Marginalized voices (BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Diaspora, Autistic writers) get an extra 15 days to submit.
