Hello Writing Community! We are delighted to announce our Second Official Bluesky *** #MSWL Day *** February 26, 2026. 🎉🎉🎉 Agents + editors can post what they ✨wish✨ they had in their inboxes; writers can find their next best fit for querying. Learn more: manuscriptwishlist.com/2025/01/the-...

Scheduling my #foodpit posts! It's my husband's birthday tomorrow so I'm going to not be as active on here but will try and hop on some to support others!

For over a year now I have posted every day on the ⏰ app but I finally deleted it off my phone and tbh it’s really freeing. The new ToS made my gut churn among many other things. It's no longer the same. 😥 My account is still there but I couldn’t have it on my phone any longer.

This is why it's important to review books for indie authors, but also, this isn't a reflection of how hard I hustle; I never stop. That being said, not every agent thinks this way. If you're an agent and my pitch interests you. Reach out.

Just sent out four queries this morning! Good way to start a Monday.

The spicy anthology that I have a short story in is now only .99! It has lots of winter vibes and my story is actually about being stuck in the Czech Republic during a blizzard! In case you are looking for something to read to keep you warm during the snow storm.❄️🔥Info below.

My YA sapphic awakening book DOES LOVE ALWAYS WIN? is featured this week on @jaeauthor.bsky.social's sapphic book bingo for the category "set in a school or academia." Thank you Jae! My book and the other books set in a school or academia setting can be found below.

My sapphic book doesn’t sell too well at in person events but the one time someone came into the bookstore and immediately came up to my table and said “OMG this looks sapphic.” And I’m like it is!! And they yelled at the top of their lungs “Yes!! I’m sapphic!!!” And then I remembered why I write. 💕

Had so much fun during #bluepit yesterday! Thank you for everyone's support!

Had a lovely birthday celebration weekend away with lots of food, music, and reading THE DARKNESS OF DYING IN THE LIGHT by @writingwithreed.bsky.social! Can’t ask for anything better!

Starting my 40th birthday off right. Picked up both my free birthday coffee and cake! 🥳

I had a great reading year, 91 books! There were so many great ones that will stay with me for a long time. I've also joined a book club and it's been a great way to meet people in my community and read outside of my preferred genres. Can't wait to see what I read in 2026!

I had a holiday guest blog post publish today on Long and Short reviews. And if you comment on the blog, you will be entered to win an e-copy of my book SUPERFICIAL. Check out the comments for more info.

Voting for the Indie Ink Awards opens today until the end of the month! My YA superhero book SUPERFICIAL is nominated in ten categories, found in the picture below. Indiestorygeek dot com is where you can vote, and each category is alphabetical so you can easily find my book. Thank you so much!!

Happy Pan Pride Day to all my fellow pans!🩷💛💙 A few years ago I had the pleasure of writing a guest post on the Bi+ Resource Center for Pan Pride Day about my story and it's still relevant today, except since then I have published SUPERFICIAL and the FMC is pan. 🤩 Article in comments.

I’m excited to share @kristinawkelly.bsky.social’s cover for the second book in the Tales of Trelvania series, TEA TALE! I was lucky enough to be a beta reader for this sapphic fantasy romance and I fell in love with it right from the start. It has all the cozy winter feels, out February 10!

What have I been up to? A lot behind the scenes. I received some valuable feedback from my author friends on the sapphic mystery I've been querying and withdrew my queries and have been editing so much. That's what my newest blog post is about, found in the comments!
