Local Man is Just DYING for a Good Nap

Oh boy! In my story "Somebody's Gotta Shovel It," there's a desert. A really big, mean desert. It'll burn the skin right off your bones. But don't worry, there's a solution! If you're willing to shovel it!

“Did I lose my glasses, or is this apocalypse just extra blurry?"

This one’s inspired in part by the 1888 Schoolhouse Blizzard, during which teacher Minnie Freeman safely led her 13 students through a whiteout storm to a farmhouse two miles away! 🥶 🌨️

Blimey! That looks great! Let's see, a hint... outer space and inner space are both involved.

Hint for mine: annoyance as resistance. Sass. destruction of government property. Glitter bomb.

We desperately need more survivors in dystopian lit—particularly empowered, disabled survivors. Those who come together to not just resist oppression, but who take care of one another and strive to build inclusive worlds. Nobody gets left behind; legacies are celebrated; the lost are found.

Broadly--interdependence and overlooked skills. Your dorky lone wolf fantasy is going to fail if you fall trying to fight the zombies because you didn't know how to sew a button back on and your pants fell down. All kinds of people and skills are relevant and important in a dystopian setting.

Personally, I want to see more disabled people being disabled and not being shamed for it, left behind, or pitied. I want them to have complexity alongside/instead of just wanting a cure, and for their lives to be deemed just as vlauable as their nondisabled peers!! ❤️‍🔥

Honestly, just acknowledging that the dystopia will BE cripped would be great. People out here thinking the next dystopia is going to leave them untouched? Really? C'mon. Be serious.

with such a hostile environment, there SHOULD be more disability and chronic illness & pain in dystopian books! I want that explored more! I want people who care for their sick! people who find cool tech for disability that doesn’t erase their disability! let it be in your future societies!

Do I have any friends in Utah on here?? I'm doing a signing at the farmington station b&n on saturday starting at 12! Please come say hi! No pressure to buy, of course, but come! hang out! look at books! talk about dragons!

Oh I love this idea and I’m so honored Child of the Dragon was the first chosen!! Thank you!!!

It's when our survival skills--the ones we've honed just to get through the day in normal times--are MORE useful in a dystopia than any normal, able-bodied person's non-adaptions are. I'm STOKED for my story in this--hope you are too!

For me (and the characters in my story), #CrippingDystopia is all about the defiant refusal to leave the vulnerable behind, even and especially when the system is doing everything it can to get rid of them I'm so excited for this anthology y'all

Delighted to be part of this anthology! It was easy to create the situation in my story. I'm lucky to be surrounded by love and support. Despite that, I feel trapped, and I'm struggling. And with the attack on the NDIS, I know Australia doesn't value people like me highly. Nowhere to go but down.

For me, it's about rejecting the idea of “overcoming” disability, surviving in spite of it, or immediately becoming cannon fodder because of it. It’s about experiencing a great, irreversible shift in the world in the only way available to you.

🥹🥰 writing disabled main characters in a dystopian setting is such a joyful act of resistance

I'm in a disability in dystopia anthology that's releasing in July! The book is now on Goodreads for you to add to your TBR: www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...

I think for me it’s what dystopia has always been about: holding a mirror up to the best and worst parts of our current society—and making sure disability is centered in that snapshot. we’ve always been here we will always be here

DID YOU KNOW? Dystopian stories almost always play with disability and compulsory able-bodiedness, making it what I call a "crip genre". 🔥 That's why we're #CrippingDystopia in the upcoming disability in dytopia anthology! More info coming soon 😉 #booksky #writersky #disability

I am not a recipe gatekeeper and if I ever talk about food I've made and it sounds good to you I will happily give you the recipe. Unless you are my ex-boyfriend Nathan asking for the recipe to his favorite cookies, in which case the answer is no.

Do any indie authors have any advice on how to get more reviews? I‘m not selling huge numbers, but I had a decent ARC request rate and have sales! I know people are reading! I just can’t get it to covert to reviews

I got to do my first school author visits yesterday and today--to my old high school where I first started writing this book in the first place! I'm absolutely floating still. The students were amazing and so funny! This was an absolute full circle moment for me and a literal dream come true!

This is the platonic romcom you never knew you needed!!
