I got a new phone after having a broken phone with no functioning camera for 6 months. And I can now take pictures of my ugly little dog, Teddy Bear. ☺️

This will never not send me to the moon.

Hard update. I've got chronic illness, and it’s impacting the time + quality I need for THE BEAST YOU MADE OF ME to meet my standards. All 700+ preorders have been canceled. New preorder links will come when I’m able, with the release moving to 2026. I’m sorry, y’all.

The odds of THE BEAST YOU MADE OF ME potentially stimulating the vibrating nipple clamp economy has increased... *looks at nipple clamps packaging* ...twelve-fold. 😏 A BIG, BIG thank you to Emily Bond and Buzzfeed for shouting out the middle-aged sluts. 🫶🏿 NEW AUTHOR ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED 🔓🔑

"Don't lead me astray." "That's what wolves do. How else do we eat?" Gang, meet Stark. He barks & bites. He's also got a wolfish appetite. 😌 🐺 Werewolf smut 🌙 Middle-aged sluts 🐺 Fated mates 🌙 2nd chances Out Nov 30! 😘 🛒bit.ly/madebeast 📖bit.ly/beast-bite

✨️trad pub transparency update✨️ 2nd royalty check for THE POISONS WE DRINK (for January 2025-June 2025): $2.2K To go from a $12K royalty check to a $2K royalty check is an adjustment, I'll admit. It changes a few plans I had in mind for 2026 as an indie author. 1/6

bluesky is hard to crack for me, but when i post on here, i do feel the support with the few who see my foolery. and it got me like:

🚨announcement🚨 if you preordered beast on apple, b&n, or kobo, you might see a new date (nov 5). don’t worry! it’s still dropping oct 31 unless the backend acts up. just syncing timelines between amazon + others. tryna deliver the middle-aged sluts the right way

yall final acts can be so wild sometimes. it didn't click for me until now about something. ok, so in one scene, there's anal. and the next scene, there's a plot twist that ties back to the anal and she watches someone die. an author's mind is a chaotic, monstrous, beautiful thing.

when hes so obsessed with her that he got himself a tattoo after she broke his heart and ran away 26 years ago... THE POWER THAT THAT HAS, THE INTELLIGENCE THAT THAT HAS, THE CLEARANCE THAT THAT HAS, THE ACCESS THAT THAT HAS, THE INFLUENCE THAT THAT HAS, THE PROFILE THAT THAT H- 🔗bit.ly/4ozEvpf
