This week has been a reminder that my chronic illness flares are predictable…so long as I remember check the weather 😅 Reminder to everyone else living with CI this spring: take your meds, stay hydrated, and keep any necessary supplies for handling flare-ups on hand! 💯

Writing romantasy set in He!! Raises a number of logistical concerns Today’s editing adventure: scrubbing the words “kill” and “die” (characters are already SUPER dead) and standardizing the specifics of underworld medical procedures between scenes

Now feels like a good time to say: my books are 100% human. Human written, human edited, covers made by human hands, human marketed. It’s me. I’m the human.

Got to have a fun little adventure this morning 😅 Woke up surprised by how cold it was. Rolled over in bed with more blankets. Was vibing until I realized the cars driving by sounded louder than normal As it turns out, I didn’t shut the door quite right after getting home from groceries last night

...and her name is Lillith. Just a taste of the menu: Pitch black FMC The 😈 made her do it She'd 💀 for him The cover reveal coming soon, thanks to @juniperhartmann.bsky.social and @theredfoxcreative.bsky.social

“F*ck” I heard him mutter under his breath as he pulled his hands from my body. As the doors reflected the look of need and desire on his face. I knew it matched my own. “This isn’t over, kitten” he said softly as he straightened and backed up slightly. forms.gle/Pfw2P4CGLQmc...

I added the line “Are you ready to hurt for me, darling?” to a spicy scene while editing today and it’s living rent free in my head

I did routine bloodwork today and I didn’t even cry a little bit 😌 feeling very brave rn

Second round of book proofs came in today definitely not me shoving the toaster oven out of the way to take pictures on the kitchen counter cause it matches my aesthetic 👀

Up before the sun, energy drink consumed, ready to edit my spicy scenes to the dulcet tones of the Balatro OST 😌

I always forget how tired storms make me until they happen 😅 If anyone needs me for the next few days I’ll be sleeping off the rain

My husband has been helping me read over a few scenes from my book and finalize edits He got up from his desk, came into the bedroom, looked me dead in the eye and asked if my FMC really just stole a cup of unattended lean off a college house party table Yes she did. She would do it again, too 😌

Round 2 of proofs will be arriving next week! 👏 I can rest easy knowing I’ve earned my social media time for the day 😌 I’m wishing everyone a peaceful and productive Monday!

Apparently, when the thermostat batteries run out, you’re supposed to flip the AC breaker before you change the batteries. And apparently, failure to do so risks blowing a fuse on the unit

What if you OD’d at a party and the demon you made a deal with when you were 14 dragged your mortal soul down to Hell where a hot demon Prince took you captive and made you go on one-horse territorial surveys and work in his isolated workshop with him haha just kidding bUT WHAT IF 👀 📚💙🌶️💙📚

First proofs will be coming in today and I cannot stop refreshing my email 👀 I am emotionally prepared for the banana yellow gold haha, but I will be showing it off nonetheless! Round 2 will look infinitely better and I’m looking forward to showing off the ✨transformation✨ #writersky #indieauthor

I honestly think the highest complement I’ve received so far in my writing career was when my MMC got described as flip-flopping between “Hannibal Lector, The Beast, and a flamboyant vampire who really, really loved candles” And honestly? Yes, absolutely haha If that’s your vibe, you’ll love him

Cats got new ID tags today. Heard a weird noise and looked over to see my gal, trying to lick herself, and just licking her new tag ;-; I can tell there will be a learning curve associated with these haha

This just in: local author realizes the book print covers were in RGB and not CYMK after ordering first proofs It’s me, I’m the author More as the situation develops

Between the first two books in my series, some of my more questionable searches include: “Where are 🔪 wounds most likely to 💀 someone?” “How is hydrogen peroxide synthesized?” “Diethyl ether effects” “How long does luminol reaction last?” and my personal favorite, “How to beg?” 😅 ⏰💙📚💙🌶️💙📚💙⏰ #booktok

Sleep got hands tonight. Time for 3 AM tea

I am SO incredibly excited to announce that eARC signups for my dark fantasy romance novel are FINALLY OPEN! (1/3) 📚💙🌶️💙📚 #arcreaderswanted #arcsignups #darkfantasyromance #indieromance

Surely I can’t be the only one 😅 I think romance books have altered my brain chemistry haha ‘cause I’m starting to think that going to Hell wouldn’t be so bad ⏰💙📚💙🌶️💙📚💙⏰ #booktok #romantasy #romantasymemes #darkfantasyromance

Okay okay, hear me out Cards Against Romantasy 📚💙🌶️💙📚

I’m getting things set up for ARCs of my dark fantasy demon romance (coming later this month—stay tuned if you’re interested) and realizing my content warning list is beefier than some paragraphs in my actual book 😅 I hope that winds up being a feature, not a bug haha 📚💙🌶️💙📚

I was hoping to get all my print files set up on KDP so I could order proofs, but as it turns out, I was a little too ambitious 😅 #authorsky #indieauthors #selfpublishing #authorsofbluesky #indieauthor

My cat was playing with a rubber band. That is no good, so I took it, and gave him a foam ball instead Only to watch him bat it under the fridge in record time That’s one cat toy I won’t be seeing again 😅

When I grow up I wanna be a Mediterranean house gecko That’s it send post

Y’all my husband helped me fish a wolf spider out of the litter box and put it outside I love this man

Who needs therapy when you can just make your MMC worse ⏰💙📚💙🌶️💙📚💙⏰ #booktok #darkfantasyromance #indieauthor #booksky #romancememes

ProWritingAid tried to give me a heart attack today

Cat feet have a supernatural knack for finding fibro spots

It is so incredibly humid where I live haha Condensation forms on the vents this time of year and collects in little puddles on the floor. Sometimes I step in one, look up, and get hit in the face by vent water. I get my writing time in at the crack of dawn though, so scenic fog is a plus?

Just throwing this out there: my book and my art are, and will always be, 100% human-created. 📚💙🌶️💙📚 #authorsky #booksky #darkfantasyromance #humanauthored #humanart

Damn linear got hands

I always forget to post my videos here haha. For all the dark fantasy romance lovers, here’s a little quote I hope you’ll love as much as I do! ⏰💙📚💙🌶️💙📚💙⏰

Forcing myself to write and do my social media posts before I can work on character art 😭 I’m being a responsible author and it pains me haha

The Ties that Bind Them, coming October 28, 2025! If you love… ♥️ A haunted, reckless FMC ♠️ A morally gray MMC one step from taking her soul ♥️ Dark romance, darker fantasy ♠️ Hurt, comfort, trauma and angst ♥️ Enemies-to-reluctant-allies-to-lovers The links are down below 🔗

I cleaned my writing laptop and immediately feel 1000% better. It’s amazing how much a little cat hair on the keyboard impedes the creative process If you’ve been putting off a writing computer clean, this is your sign!

My #cats learned an hour ago that the big bag on the floor contains food, and by tearing into it, they can get food out I am entering a strange, terrifying new chapter of life with two shameless house panthers who have developed a taste for plastic sacks

If you like dark fantasy romance, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, and a touch of psychological manipulation in your MMCs… I’m working on a little thing you might like 🥰 📚💙🌶️💙⏰💙🌶️💙📚

If I run out of space for books, I will make more. That’s just how this works 🥰 📚💙⏰💙📚 #booktok #booksky #bookmemes #bookish

Whelp editing is done for the day. Saw movement out of the corner of my eye, looked over to see a 3 inch rabid wolf spider make a B line for my arm Spider is safely outside, but I can’t stop feeling crawl-y feels while sitting in my writing chair haha

Waking up and finding a little tree frog on the kitchen window makes everything feel okay

In other news I just locked eyes with my cat and watched as she threw up directly into the walkway so that’s my Wednesday morning haha

It’s happening Release date at the start of next month And I am SO EXCITED
