2025 has been unexpectedly expensive so far, and we still have much of the year to go, so.... I'm celebrating the last two days of National Poetry Month (April) with a little fundraising thing: Buy me a Ko-Fi, send me a word (one word), and I will write you a haiku or limerick based on that word.

Spent Independent Book Store Day signing books for the lovely customers at White Rose Books and More in Kissimmee. One woman picked up Speak EZ and asked "Is this...a queer romance?" She was so excited when I nodded. "This is why I came to a smaller bookstore!" she told me.

Shout out to fellow Bywater Books paranormal finalist @elleeire.bsky.social for Speak EZ! Such a great story and a phenomenal writer!!!!

If you need me, I’ll be sipping a forbidden cocktail and listening to Jeremy Carlisle Parker aka Quinn Riley, Narrator… please don’t need me. @elleeire.bsky.social

Thursday is the night. 9 PM is the time for @ginikoch.bsky.social's April READ THIS!!! Book Club featuring @elleeire.bsky.social's #murdermystery #ghoststory, SPEAK EZ. To say nothing of the dog. Check it out! ginikoch.blogspot.com

Oh wow. (I have a poem in this!)

So if you listened to this today, you may be thinking to yourself, "Self, I wonder if the author of this week's story writes delightful novels for middle graders, filled with laughs and also feels?" And if you have been wondering this, friends, then do I ever have good news for you!

I'm the featured author this month. Got any questions for me? I'd love to see you there.

I was fortunate enough to chat with Nicole Shawan Junior on just the third episode of the new podcast Of Monsters, and I hope that this show finds its audience, because Nicole is hands-down one of the best interviewers I have had the pleasure of talking to.
