little late b/c today has kicked m a$$ BUT here we are talking about feelings again 😂

oh HELLO!

holy s&^% "A rising voice in the genre" 🫢 Thank you @crimereads.bsky.social for reviewing THE NEW YEAR'S PARTY!

I just finished listening to the @jennaschmenna.bsky.social ‘s latest, The New Year’s Party, and it is SUCH a fun read. She’s a master at creating believable characters and laugh out loud dark humor! Now I need to re-read/re-listen to it so I can figure out how she wove it all together so tightly. 😁

This is not my first rodeo (it is, in fact, my third ;), so I'm going things a bit differently this time to protect my fragile sanity 😂

Goal unlocked that I didn’t even know I had until it just happened: being on the same list as a client (@briannahwrites.bsky.social) 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Um HELLO. A Killer Getaway has been chosen as one of @kobobooks.bsky.social Best Books of the Month and did my jaw literally just drop when the email came through YES IT DID 😱

Just because something didn’t sell doesn’t mean it wasn’t good. Publishing is a weird mix of timing, trend, and vibe. Put that manuscript in the drawer if you need to. But don’t bury your belief in it there too. #WritingCommunity

excuse me while I go cry because this review is hitting me in all the feels (for THE NEW YEAR'S PARTY, out Nov 4, available to request on Netgalley👀)
