My eldest book baby almost has 200 ratings! 🎉 Thanks everyone for reading & rating!

And if you’re looking for a dark YA Fantasy with a strong FMC, a side of no-spice rivals to lovers, a shadow boyfriend, a snarky cat, the rotting undead, and some epic battles — ebooks are free!

Being a working parent is fielding a call from your boss on a Saturday to talk about your career goals while simulataneously having a silent ninja fight with your 8-year-old.

Okay, I see authors asking for artist recommendations quite often, & as an author with a character art obsession for the past 6 or so years, I am here to help!

This is a kind of um... extensive(?) guide, (Please see notes on obsession & 6 years 😅) but hopefully it's helpful! (All handles are IG)

eeeep! Soooo close to 200 zon ratings! If you're looking for a dark YA epic fantasy that features a snarky cat, the rotting undead, and a side of sweet, slowburn rivals-to-lovers with a shadow boy, this is for you! (and ebooks are free!) #books

Apropos of nothing, what genres do you think people living in a dystopian society like to read? 🤔

These Pokémon/book mashup posts are absolutely ridiculous. But I’m a nerd, and they make me smile, so I’m totally posting them. 🤣

Welp, apparently this week was the last straw for me—I had to delete the X app.

My account still exists there, but I just can’t anymore.

I love how Instagram is changing their aspect ratio to 4:5 like they can just slip into TikTok’s shoes and no one will notice. 😏

Sweet baby Instagram, you can just be yourself. Let people love you for you, hun.

Just a friendly reminder that there can be more than two queens on a chessboard, and it’s better to have more kings on your side in checkers.

It’s okay to lift each other up.

I’ll just leave these here. Don’t mind me.

I swear I do really want to use this app more. But I’ll be honest, it seems to work a little differently than the others.

Any tips?

Husband: What car rental company did we rent through?

Me: Alamo

Husband: Why’d you get one that’s so hard to remember?

Me: ???

So the @writehive.bsky.social mentees have been announced, & I'm so incredibly honored to be @erinmscheuer.bsky.social's mentor this year on her addicting, heartfelt celeb romance, LOVE SONGS & OTHER LIES.

Basically, if you can't tell from the moodboard & mock cover I made, I'm obssessed. LET'S GO!

Well, my YA epic fantasy trilogy made it to 500 Goodreads ratings today — which obviously means it’s time for a celebratory dance around the kitchen. 🥳

(And if you’re looking for epic battles, sweet romance, the rotting undead, & a snarky cat, book 1 is free to download!)

So this family just rolled up to Barnes & Noble in their Christmas pajamas at opening time.

And I don’t know what Saturday-before-Christmas tradition this must be, but I’m totally jealous.

Now whenever someone asks what "trust, but verify" means, I’ll be giving this real-world example from yesterday:

*tucking 6yo in*

6yo: Mom, I would never tackle you like (8yo brother), because you’re innocent.

Me: Aw, you’re so sweet. *cuddles closer*
.
.
.
6yo: …Mom, have you ever k*lled anyone?
