back in jan, i set a goal of 50 preorders for the “werewolf smut w/ middle-aged sluts” book. i didn’t think i’d get close. now it’s september & we’re 2 away from 600. thank you for showing up for me, this book, & the middle-aged sluts. it’s been rough & your excitement means everything.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

there is absolutely NOTHING in this world that compares to the feeling of starting a new WIP you are excited about #writingcommunity friends, you know that intensely soul-satisfying feeling I'm talking about? keep chasing that. art is what makes us human. #amwriting

i wrote a show based on my memoir and act out parts of it as my grandma and my mom and these are the last shows in nyc!!! publictheater.org/performances...

I can't emphasize enough how important community is in #writing. I was stuck and feeling insecure about my writing, and one of my groups helped me identify the problem and level up my writing, AND boost my motivation Make writing friends!! Make connections!! That's so important!! #writingcommunity

the frustration of being an editor is that you get to work with so many incredible stories that you JUST WANT THE WORLD TO SEE ALREADY!!! sending out a wish for an agent to pick up this one VERY SOON 👀✨ #writingcommunity #amediting

Growing up, I used to read Cosmo with friends at sleepovers. Back then, becoming an author was a faraway dream. It feels extremely full circle—and surreal—to say that my book is featured there now. You can read an exclusive excerpt from THIS RAGING SEA below🖤🌊 www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainmen...

do me a favor and repost/share this? 🙏🏿 just need 6 more souls who might be into werewolf smut with middle-aged sluts. 😌

I have been working on *something* since February, and it's almost time to send it *out* and I am freaking out just a little bit so here is your reminder to *breathe* and take each day one word at a time. 🫶 #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersofbsky

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

A reminder to me. You too, maybe? #booksky #writers #writing

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

starting a thread of #tuesdaytips for all of my #amwriting friends ❤️ tip #1: respect the passive side of your craft! marinating in ideas, soaking in solutions, and resting between tasks is CRITICAL to storytelling. it is NOT laziness. it is important. it is work 🫶 #writingcommunity

This is how it’s done! 👊🏿👊🏾👊🏽👊🏼👊🏻

Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in nearly 2,000 cities and towns this weekend.

🚨Announcement🚨 There’s going to be a street team for This Raging Sea! If you like atmospheric dark fantasy books, bi4bi romance with yearning, and soft magic systems based in science, I’d love if you joined! 🥹
