Dragon magazine cover "Monster and a Lady" by Jesper Ejsing (2012) #dndart

Haven’t posted here for a while. The manuscript goes for dev edits tomorrow and I’m freaking out about it. The other news is I have some artwork from the story which I adore! Marcin Roczniak is the artist, and you can find him on IG and Reedsy #authorsky

Listen 2025 is WILD and it’s totally ok to channel Ozzy Osborne and eat like 3 massive burritos in one day or drink a soup bowl full of coffee in one gulp. And you can even cry into it a little bit if that helps. No one will judge you. Well someone might but I won’t I promise. Hope this helps 🫶🏼

Decision made. I’m an #indieauthor. That’s it, that’s the post.

I'm wheezing.

Just remember, no matter what, as long as you’re doing your best, Aragorn son of Arathorn is proud of you ✨

You don't need permission to tell the story that's in your heart. Write it anyway #skywriters

Some people hate the revision stage. I love it. The first draft is the hardest part for me; everything gets easier after that (except marketing 😅). I love watching my work become better right before my eyes.

A moment of tranquility today

My husband thinks I’m nuts (as usual). I’ve had my first rejection and I’m so happy, because I’m actually putting myself out there and chasing something I’m passionate about. I’m sure this elation will wear down by the hundredth one though 😂 #amquerying

On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Pretty sickened by UK's Supreme Court 🤮 So I'm opening my submission inbox to unagented trans authors in the UK until the END OF APRIL. I'm not currently open to general subs BUT if you're a trans author writing folk horror, weird, experimental, mystery, literary/upmkt fiction, take a look below 👇

I fell for beautiful sprayed edges on a book. I have resisted this far, but I finally broke! Please ignore the cat begging for attention in the background #booksky

So as one Grimdark idea settles after edits, another has popped up. This is interesting! A whole new world and magic system just landed in my lap overnight, along with new ways to make people suffer. #authorsky

oh the horror... oh the humanity!

That query letter is really loud in my drafts… maybe I should do something with it?

Time to flex the writing muscles and pour a fresh cuppa tea. It’s short story time… #writingcommunity

Got my US & my UK editions now!
