I really hope this short story I've written is as good as I think it is.

I have an unconventional little novella out in two months and I cannot wait to talk about it all the time. I apologize in advance.

I have returned to my Phoebe! First, snuggling. Then, short story revisions.

And I just got an AI generated email trying to convince me to pay someone to market my novella. I don't know why people who can't be bothered to write an email think they'd be good at marketing.

All the jobs I want to apply to are in California. I am not in California.

Trying to mostly stay off the internet this evening so I'm making brownies and playing with my boyfriend's cat. I think I am finally becoming this cat's spare human. It only took me three years.

I'm glad we have books.

It's snowing and I'm curled up reading a good book. My boyfriend just walked into the room and said we should watch Anastasia later. This man has my heart and my sword and I would follow him to the ends of the earth.

I don’t talk about what’s happening in the world here because I try to focus on bookish things, but I’m angry, scared, and basically want to puke and cry all the time. I want to be clear - If you support this administration and/or ICE, unfollow me. Don’t read my books. Abolish and prosecute ICE

Where my witches at? You know what to do. Where are my practitioners of things that are not spoken of?

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

the "summarize this email" feature in gmail is going to be my villain origin story. i don't want a summary. i want to read my emails in peace.

feeling overwhelmed

I don't paint because I'm good at it. I do it because the act of it helps when everything else feels heavy. It's still drying, but I like the colors.

Everything has been a lot today so I made a hugo spritz, put the 2019 Little Women on the television, and started painting.

ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE WUNMI MOSAKU 🤩🤩🤩

Sinners is the most nominated film in OSCARS HISTORY!!!

I got to spend twenty minutes working on short story revisions while my dog napped beside me, her head on my knee. It was perfect.

COME TO BROOKLYN TO SAY HI !! With my bookstore shelf mate…such an honor 🙌🏽

I don't have the space for it yet, but one day I'd like to dedicate a shelf in my home to everything I've had in print. I've come a long way and am honored to have contributed to these books. I'd say little kid me would be awed, but she'd probably ask why there aren't more. She was VERY ambitious.😂🖤

I'm watching Steal and was trying to figure out why Archie Madekwe looked familiar. Turns out he played Farleigh in Saltburn.

I am five minutes into watching Bone Lake and WTF am I experiencing?

I hung out with two of my nieces yesterday. One plays folk music and draws incredible original characters inspired by bugs. The other is writing an awesome horror story. I used to do a lot of crafts with them when they were little and I am so proud of how creative they are. 🖤

The new @shortwavebooks.bsky.social edition of SLEEP ALONE is releasing almost exactly three years after the original (within one day!) and that’s pretty damn magical and you should totally preorder a copy for some of that magic 🌟

It was kinda magical this morning.

My boyfriend and I watched all three Kives Out movies this weekend. It was a good time. 😊

Three years ago to the day we had our first date. I love him with my whole heart. ❤️

happy seven dials day on netflix for all my fellow historical fiction mystery nerds! did i schedule my day so i could watch all three episodes back to back? yes, yes, i did.

I will have exciting writing stuff to talk about this year! Including my sapphic cannibal critique of capitalism coming out in March! But right now I also am focused on politics because it all connects and we are experiencing this world together.

Shiva comes out from Dark Matter Ink in less than two months! I want to set up some podcast appearances and bookstore events. If you are a podcaster or bookseller, please get in touch. I'm excited to talk about my ghostly little novella. 🖤

Is your company looking for someone with editorial experience? Published author here who has been writing and editing for over a decade. Open to contract, part-time, or full-time. Preferably remote. If you know about an opening, please let me know!

I know I've been posting a lot about books and writing lately but want to make it clear that we still need to ABOLISH ICE

So apparently there is going to be a blood moon total lunar eclipse the night Shiva comes out and honestly I could not ask for a more metal release date. 🖤

Writers: I need book editing projects in my schedule for January. I’m also scheduling for 2026. I do developmental, copy, line, & proofreading + monthly coaching. 30 yrs exp. I’d love some more work so I can help my kids, rescue cats, & home. Shares are SO appreciated! Link in bio (info & email). 😀

Writing is a solace and I am fortunate to have it.

It was a truly lovely birthday. I always get emotionally vulnerable around my birthday, but I'm glad to say I had a lot of fun. My boyfriend and I explored new places, met adorable animals, and got artsy. Plus there was cake. Thanks for all the wishes, friends. 🖤

In the afternoon, we did a water marbling workshop in Somerset. it was so much fun! The last photo is the handkerchief I made. I love the moody colors.

GOATSSSSSS

To celebrate my 36th year, we went adventuring and got to say hello to some very sweet goats. 😊

I don't know what this purple flower is called but I love it.

this beautiful embroidered fabric a year ago and finally found the right use for it. I haven't put the paper in yet, but this is the cover of the notebook I'm making. 😊

Guess who finished the first draft of her historical short story this morning? Still a lot of revising to go but I'm loving it. 🖤

Sometimes you just need a Theda Bara inspired photoshoot to remind you of your own power.

We're getting closer...

The 1980s vibes in The Luckiest Man in America are fun.

Just had the best little writing session! This story has a new twist in addition to the main twist and I am exceedingly proud of it. 😊

I feel powerless today, so I decided to make a donation to the ACLU because that is something I can do. Anyone want to join me? action.aclu.org/give/pm-dona...

I’m happy to blurb or review all the books called too political or woke. Give me all the books by folks from marginalised communities. If you don’t think all this will impact the films, shows, and books that come out / promoted then think again. No one can just sit back and stay quiet.

ABOLISH ICE
