Great question for #pretendpanel! In part, I started writing to process my deconstruction from evangelical Christianity. My litfic novels Make Me Free and To Die Is Gain touch heavily on deconstruction. My current project explores both deconstruction and reconstruction. #writesky #exvangelical

Where have I been? What am I working on? I discuss this in a recent TikTok! #tiktok #writingcommunity #writesky #authorsky

#AwesomeCharacters My litfic characters get put through their paces fr 😆 Ann would be SO pissed, since her father dies at the beginning of Make Me Free. Luke would be furious, but much of what he faces in To Die Is Gain is his own damn fault. At least they get their soulmate ❤️ #writesky

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Technical question! Do you prefer to write happy endings for your characters? Or would you rather some tragedy? Be as general as you like, to avoid spoilers! But as a writer, which captures you more often? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#AwesomeCharacters In my litfic, I like happy-ish endings. They’re not always neat and tidy, but generally they’re earned. The characters have to go through some things before getting there, though. #writingcommunity #writesky #authorsky

#AwesomeCharacters I disappeared Sue, a woman in ch1 of my current litfic WIP whose role was to bring homemade pecan squares to Bible study. I wrote too many characters into that scene & my beta readers couldn’t follow. The others show up again in the story, but not her. Bye, Sue. #writesky

#WIPSnips WOTD is “metal” My litfic WIP starts out the gate with “metal,” as Micah is staring down the clock at work. Then she gets a welcome interruption from a man who has known her for over ten years & “knew” her for three of them 😉. #writesky #authorsky #writingcommunity #metal

Alex Callahan is the type of guy who swears he’s keeping it professional…and then ends up rock hard in his office because your curves and your brain won’t leave him alone. Read LONE STAR LAYOVER - a forced proximity rivals-to-lovers romance: a.co/d/0ii9dgy1 #romancelandia #bwwm #kindleunlimited

#WIPSnips WOTD is “commit.” This is a heck of a snip! In my litfic WIP, Micah talks about Julian and the guardrails on their relationship, but then Jalisa, seemingly out of left field, asks her about her estranged husband Steve. Ope… #authorsky #writesky #amwriting #writingcommunit

#AwesomeCharacters Promises are a pain point. Steve promises to support the family financially if Micah quit grad school & they moved back to his hometown of Losanti. But in Losanti, he can’t keep a job & Micah’s forced to work at a local university, reminding her of what might’ve been. #writesky

#pretendpanel My first major work - in terms of full drafts, prob five or six. For my current novel-length project, likely two or three. I’m on a very edited draft 1.5, and I’ve been getting helpful peer and beta reader feedback. Heavy structural edits are coming soon. #writingcommunity #writesky

All that glitters is “gold?” Gold is today’s #WIPSnips WOTD 💜 Micah is helping Julian restore the town’s mansion. She’s washing walls when Julian reaches out and touches her. Is there a spark between them? #writesky #authorsky #writingcommunity #amwriting

“Current”ly, here’s today’s #WIPSnips WOTD 💜 Micah is talking with Nova, the history department head, when her hated ex-rival looks for her. Julia just can’t wait. #writingcommunity #writesky #authorsky #amwriting

#AwesomeCharacters Micah is fairly self-aware. Her relationship with Julian in Marristone she is very aware is temporary, and that she can’t avoid addressing her failing marriage to Steve. But she is sometimes slow to move on what she knows to be true. #writingcommunity #writesky #authorsky

#AwesomeCharacters Charlie has no close relationships. He’s a transactional person. Even when interacting with Micah’s pastor & his wife at the beginning of book 2 in my current series, Charlie trades tea for (live) bodies under the guise of religion. #writingcommunity #writesky #authorsky

#AwesomeCharacters Steve and Julian never meet. Julian knows Steve exists, and Steve eventually learns of Julian in the (spoiler) way possible. It would be hella awkward (at best) if they did, as both are intimately connected to Micah. #lovetriangle #writesky #authorsky #writingcommunity

#WIPSnips WOTD is “fifth” Surprised I found instances in my WIP. Micah’s on a road trip alone, talking to Finn on speaker phone about “He Knows Your Name” billboards, but what does the message mean? 🤔 Ohioans might appreciate this passage 😆 #writingcommunity #writesky #authorsky #exvangelical

#AwesomeCharacters Micah *is* the weird wherever she goes. At her church in Losanti, she’s “too independent” bc she works outside the home & kept her maiden name. In Marristone, she’s the only one in her circle who truly knows the religious interests threatening the town. #writesky #amwriting

#AwesomeCharacters Micah likes kids. Besides trying for a child of her own, she brings thoughtful gifts to her bestie’s young son, who is a voracious reader. #writesky #authorsky #writingcommunity #amwriting

Still open to a couple more FREE beta readers for my litfic novel - limited time only - sign up now! 🖋️📚💙 #betareaders #freebook #exvangelical #litfic #BlackBookSky

#WIPSnips WOTD is “table” In a flashback, Cindy is none too pleased when Steve tells her Micah’s boundary. #writingcommunity #writesky #authorsky #amwriting

Happy New Year! #WIPSnips WOTD is “begin” — how fitting! Steve arrives at men’s Bible study, where Nathan, the imposing Bible study leader, is ready to “talk.” *gulp* #writesky #authorsky #writingcommunity #amwriting

#AwesomeCharacters It’s still in the concept / outline phase, but Steve’s “alpha” Bible study leader Nathan & his wife Diane will get their own standalone novel 😈 I didn’t decide that while writing my current WIP, but their dynamic pushed them to the forefront. #writesky #authorsky #amwriting

Happy 2026!

#WIPSnips WOTD is “end” Steve is scrambling to tell one of the older ladies of the church where Micah has gone. He can’t admit she walked out on him, can he? Here’s to the end of 2025 - happy New Year! #writingcommunity #writesky #authorsky #beta

#AwesomeCharacters Current line of work =/= quest in my WIP. Micah’s an office manager at a local university’s history department. Her ex-bf Finn got her the job. Her quest begins when personal tragedy is church gossip fodder. Steve takes the church ladies’ side instead of Micah’s. She leaves.

#Smutcember Here’s a scene from early in my litfic WIP — Micah recalls losing her virginity in a flashback. FYI bc first time: Micah was 24 at the time & Finn was 25, so two consenting, unambiguous adults. CW: oral, handie/fingering, frank discussion & depiction of genitals #writesky #authorsky

#Smutcember In the beginning, not well. Steve doesn’t listen when Micah tells him her feelings about most things & he believes the marriage is great (and godly). She eventually bottles everything up, including how little effort he makes in the bedroom. By year 7 of marriage, she’s had it. #writesky
