Hello! Welcome to the next chapter in the fantasy genre! Just beyond the horizon, a new adventure awaits, and the world will never be the same. Stay tuned for updates, details, and all the juicy secrets you could want for the breakout novel and first entry in the World of Rishalda series by… me!
Finally emerged victorious from another round of finals, and thus my social media hibernation is over. I’m looking forward to a summer of #Booksky and more time than ever for edits!

Left the windows open yesterday not even considering that my whole desk would be covered in pollen… including my laptop. What a way to start the day. #booksky #indieauthor #writingcommunity

I’m horrified by what’s going on at colleges across the US. My international friends and peers are terrified that their student visas will be revoked or that when they leave for the summer they won’t be allowed back in. It’s already happened to hundreds. Don’t let this get swept under the rug.

Thank you all for 1,000 followers! I can’t wait to show all of you what’s on the horizon. It’s been amazing getting to know all of you, and I very much appreciate the A in my SM Analytics course.

It’s really crazy when Super Earth feels like a preferable alternative. #helldivers

My SM Analytics professor just told me that if I get 1,000 followers by Thursday he’ll give me an A. Help me Bluesky, you’re my only hope. 🙏

The semester is almost over, but between internship applications and… 😒 group work 😒… I’m finding it harder to sit down and write for any longer than an hour or two. Edits are even worse. Progress is progress I guess! 📖

me: I spent hours researching something for my book
friend: oh wow, that must mean it's pretty important to the story.

It’s a heist movie but just with a bunch of humanities scholars trying to get their grant money back.

I love taking inspiration from sources that seem anathema to the genre I’m writing in. SCP in fantasy? That’s a big yes from me. #booksky #writingcommunity #indieauthor #skywriters

A lot of creative folks are demoralized right now. Hell, I'm one of them. Maybe some of them are helping you through this rough time. If so, do me a solid:
Share their stuff. Drop them a kind word. Tip their Ko-fis, or join their Patreons. It seems like nothing, but it's everything right now. 🤘

One of the hardest things to do as a writer is to let yourself be done. I wrapped revisions on a chapter today, but there’s still that voice telling me that it isn’t quite good enough… I’ll take another crack at it tomorrow. #booksky #authorsky #writing

Currently running a sequel to my original D&D campaign with a 600 year time jump. My biggest struggle is remaining reverential of campaign one while allowing the second to stand on its own. I struggle with series like Legend of Korra because they fail to walk that tightrope. Any tips? #dnd #dm #d&d

Starting the day with dry academic writing to then switch over to the novel is never not funny. Depending on the day, I’ve either added a great many adjectives to my thesis or inserted a footnote in my worldbuilding. Good times. #booksky #authorsky #academia

Mohrae, the sister province of Teldari, hosts the Seven Cities of Magic. Each city is patron to a College of Magic, such as Klalice to Conjuration and Flamora to Illusion. With unique cultures, architecture, and stories, we’ll explore each in the coming weeks. #booksky #authorsky #fantasy #magic

First week on #Booksky has been amazing. Y’all have been so welcoming and kind. I’m currently working on getting my website and blog launched, but is there anything y’all would recommend to an indie author? What’s worked for you? And readers, what do you want to see from me? Thank you in advance!
