Amateur writer, professional procrastinator. My first book is in the works, due to come out... eventually.
It's the first snow of the year here and to me it definitely looks like the kind of day to stay in and work on my upcoming book 'Thirteen Down'. What is your perfect reading/writing weather?

The one good thing about the transit strike currently going on in Montreal is that it gives me extra time to tackle my TBR pile. Today is the newest book by @michellefranklin.bsky.social

Back to writing today. I don't believe in plot armour, in 'Thirteen Down' everyone is fair game. I also try to focus on all the characters equally to mask the MC amongst the crowd. Do you use plot armour while writing?

Taking a night off for Halloween. A tradition in my house is making a pot of Irish stew and letting it simmer while we deal with trick'r'treaters, then we spend the rest of the night eating stew and watching seasonal movies. What are your Halloween traditions?

One of the characters in my upcoming book, Thirteen Down, is an Artificer. I'm having to study the class, as they are not one I have used while playing #Dungeons&Dragons. Is there anything you've had to study as a writer?

Naming characters is always a challenge. Sometimes, I go with classic literature, baby name books, or even a name generator. I have also swapped letters in foods to create odd new names. How do you name characters?
