The “Tea or Coffee, Stars, and Gravity” anthology KS campaign is 95% base goal funded (www.kickstarter.com/projects/526...). This means we are 81% to SG1 & 71% to SG2. 10 more backers to base goal funding. A little more caffeine in our mugs today and we’ll be there. #sff #fantasy #book #ks #booksky

Recently read this one! (It had been on my list for awhile 😅)

Pretty in red 🍁

There are poems in here I reread multiple times in a day, not because they were difficult to understand, but because I wanted to bask in them. I highly recommend it! 🌳

I'm very happy to have a poem published with @heartlines-spec.com! "Missing You, No Matter Where I Am" is about saying goodbye, and how you can feel homesick and lost even when you’re somewhere magical. 🐦‍⬛🌒⏳🕯️

Roses in autumn 🌹🍁 This one is called Earth Angel

What’s even the point of reading your fortune cookie fortune if you’re not going to add “in bed” to the end of it? 🥠

The librarian in me wants to fix this 🤣📚 It bothers my soul

More book mail! 💌 A dear friend sent these my way recently

I am so excited about this new publication in @heartlines-spec.com! 🎉 A poem about the bittersweetness of goodbyes, and of feeling homesick even when you're somewhere safe and loving.

Here we are, in this season of rain pooling on concrete, leaves, horse apples, and bean pod adorned branches 🌧️🍂

"When I was younger, I said I wouldn’t ever be a weyward passenger. I looked down on them. Surely, I’d never let my life get so bad that I couldn’t contain my problems. The chaos and the despair were things I could keep tucked behind my ribcage." From "Passenger of the Weyward" 🚂

I made a post about seeing this book out in the wild, and my regret in not purchasing it. My wonderful big sister found it and mailed it to my door. The people we love are everything 💙🪶
