happy #DisabilityPrideMonth 🩵

how I feel trying to market my romantic comedy as *gestures vaguely* this is all going on

can’t believe that “I don’t think children should be put in traumatic situations that will undoubtedly give them severe PTSD and stories they can swap with war vets” is considered a woke liberal statement, but here we are

This weekend kicks off my book signing mini-tour (+ a virtual stop)! 💙📚🦋 First up, Hardcovers near #Seattle! If you can’t join me in Washington state, then I hope you will for the Virtual Shelf Event, where you can order your copy via Beventi (🔗 in thread) #booksky

Today I learned that my debut, NOT MY TIME, is not only on a pirating website but the same pirating website that Meta used to train its AI 🫠 www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

and that’s a wrap on Emerald City Comic Con 🧃 #BaldursGate3

throwback to when my husband & I met Charlie Cox back at Megacon in 2019, dude was awesome and it is SO good to have Daredevil back on our screen again with #DaredevilBornAgain 🙌

oh my gOD #DaredevilBornAgain

life milestone/update: I am officially free of student loans 🥳

my husband had never seen one of the best Marvel movies (Captain America: The Winter Solider, of course) so it resulted in an impromptu movie night last night… …and wow was that surprisingly relevant given the whole “HYDRA has infiltrated the government” arc 😅

From EYES OF MOLTEN SILVER (summer 2026!) 🤭🐉 #ValenTales #writersky

And #ValenTales Day 9! I hate third act breakups unless there’s a damn good reason for them. I also hate writing them 😅 but I LOVE writing a good love confession. The yearning!

Day 8 of #ValenTales! Rhea and Aspen from my romantasy duology each got their own mood board 🤗

And I’m behind again 🙈 #ValenTales Most heartfelt thing? I can’t share the moment from EYES OF MOLTEN SILVER because it’d be a huge spoiler! But in STUCK ON THE SLOPES, Rachel keeps extra of Junipers “meds” 🍃 for his chronic pain on her in case of emergency.

In EYES OF MOLTEN SILVER, the waterfall featured in this art by @azukiarts.bsky.social is a secret meeting spot (and I’m also just excited for an excuse to share it again even though the book doesn’t come out until next summer bc I’m obsessed) 🤭 #ValenTales

Asking me to pick a fave romance trope is like asking me to pick a fave child. But from my romantasy's sequel that I'm editing, enjoy a lil "touch her and ☠️" #ValenTales

oops i'm a few days behind on #ValenTales! I primarily write romance, but my own experiences manifest more in the characters' lives/backgrounds & settings. My marriage is amazing but I also like to keep that private lol so I spare my husband the embarrassment of basing any romance scenes off us 😝

contacting my senators and representatives so much that if they ever walk into a bookstore and see my name on the spines, their knee-jerk reaction will be, “damn she really does yap a lot” y’all 5calls.org makes it so easy!! put them to work!!

No matter the weather, Juniper and Rachel are pretty outdoorsy. You can find them enjoying some gentle hikes year-round 🏔️ #ValenTales

This is why I write 🥹 my path to diagnosis was mostly pretty lonely, so helping others feel seen and not alone is my goal 🩵

Whenever I write a romance scene between Rhea & Aspen in my romantasy, Sunlight by Hozier plays on repeat 🤭 #ValenTales #Writersky

Happy #ValenTales! Meet Aspen and Rhea from my romantasy EYES OF MOLTEN SILVER, releasing summer 2026! 🐉 My current WIP is its sequel, with lots of dragons and fantasy political drama ⚔️ spice rating is probably a solid 3/5 🌶️

I just got a query rejection for my romantic comedy coming out this May… …that I queried back in 2023 why even bother responding to the query at that point?? LOL (it was a form rejection, too ☠️)

my proof copy of STUCK ON THE SLOPES arrived! after getting a lil emotional over how adorable it looks, I had to take it with me on my hike this weekend 🩵

You know you’re a reader when… 📚💙 Last night, I fell asleep while reading. In my dream I was still reading the same book so zero recollection of falling asleep. Seamless transition from reality to dream. (1/3)

If you feel overwhelmed about what to do today and in the coming years, a suggestion: Commit to doing one helpful thing for yourself and one helpful thing for others every day. Some days you’ll be able to many big, grand things, and some days the things will be tiny. And they all matter.

need something to do today other than doom scrolling? UNAPOLOGETIC LOVE is available now via ebook and Kindle Unlimited! ✨ amzn.to/40CZhKx

Hello fellow #BookTok and TikTok refugees! I’m a disabled romance author, nice to meet y’all! ❄️ STUCK ON THE SLOPES is a rom-com (preorder now)! 🐉 My romantasy EYES OF MOLTEN SILVER hits shelves in 2026! 🦸🏻 My debut, NOT MY TIME, kicks off a superhero & supervillain romance series on KU!

“Unapologetic Love: A Charity Anthology of Radical Resilience” publishes TOMORROW ‼️ You can read my short story, “Fly Agaric,” in this anthology. It’s a portal fantasy with elements of political dystopia, eroticism, and eco-horror if you squint. 🍄

had a damn fine cup of coffee this morning for David Lynch while focusing on the donut and not the hole ☕️

Twin Peaks inspired so much of the world building in my debut novel. It will forever be one of my favorite shows, and so many other shows, books, and video games I love have David Lynch’s influence written all over them. Time to run to Twede’s for a damn fine cup of coffee in his honor. ☕️ 💔

5 days away from the release of Unapologetic Love! All Pre-Orders of the eBook (3.99 USD) are being donated to ACLU 🥰 The heart of this anthology is the resilience of the human spirit – stories of hope, queer joy, and love that conquers all. #booksky
