I almost never make it onto this platform, so this is a wee bit belated: BEHOLD, A NEW MG HORROR BOOK! 🔥

Cody absolutely knocked this one out of the park for me; seeing Sparrow, Sully, and Wynn brought to life in art make my heart screech in the very best way <3

Something something horror, something something monsters, something something with a lot of autism and bones in it

I have some very interesting [redacted] about my current [redacted] that I've been working very hard on, and I cannot WAIT to tell you all about it so we can screech over certain [redacted] 👀🔥

A VERY NICE THING concerned cis/het community members can do to support schools, queer/trans students, and queer authors is: 1) find a local librarian/teacher willing to host an author visit 2) act as liaison and connect them with a queer author, either local or virtually 3) PAY THAT AUTHOR.

Hey babes! If your local classroom, writing/reading club, or homeschool group would love a children's author visit, let's connect!! I do virtual and local (Kitsap County) writing Q&As, readings, and personalized skill-focused mini-workshops on a generous sliding scale. 🖤🏳️‍🌈

If we’re renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.

It's good that there's a 25% tarriff on imported coffee now. This will incentivize people to purchase American coffee, grown in the New Jersey coffee forests

If any of my proofreading and copyediting pals have a surplus of clients, hit me up! I'm looking to take on extra freelance work this month. <3

7 months! 💛 I wanted to make a graphic of a generous blurb from an awesome author, but my head is killing me from a weekend of non-stop editing on another project, so later this week. But still, 7 months to go until the madness!

On the one hand, I fully comprehend that humans are complex and most of us are doing our best. On the other hand, I'd like to make a Burn Book for parents who body shame their children, preferably with pages made out of their own useless skin.

Hey friends, I have a queer friend who's an incredibly savvy and gifted social media and branding manager who's in urgent need of work with benefits and ready to hit the ground running. Do you know of anyone currently looking for That Guy, so we can connect them? It'd be an instant win-win. 🔥

For the uninitiated, here are my published queer middle grade books! (This is mostly a friendly connection and updates account; keep an eye out for announcements!)

Hey, hi, present, accounted for 👌
