I’m having a launch party for my debut novel! My former college professor offered to host an event at my university for the release. It means so much that they’re excited about my book & still want to support me, even though I graduated in 2020 🥹 #booksky #writesky #authorsky #writingcommunity

What month would you rather read a book set in a magical seaside city during the summer? ❄️ January (escapism from the cold) ☀️ May (right when the warm weather returns) #writersky #readersky #indieauthor #selfpublishing #fantasyauthor #bookish

Just got a sneak peek of my character art commission for Sing the Dark to Sleep, and all I can say is… AMAZING 😍

Kiara’s music can alter any emotion - except her own anxiety. When she abandons her 6-year exile in an enchanted tower to try new pastries, she discovers an outbreak of magical rage that only she can subdue. ☀️ Santorini-inspired city ✨ found family 🏳️‍🌈 queernormative world ☕️ cozy cat cafe #booksky

Proud to say I’ve never used ChatGPT once in my life. Never even looked at the website. 🥰

Self-Pub Week 1 Update 🎨 I’ve secured an artist to create my book cover! Since they cant start on it for a few months, I commissioned separate character art. Excited to see Kiara & her friends brought to life! 😍 #debutauthor #writersky #selfpublishing #indieauthor #indiepublishing #fantasyauthor

To celebrate, here’s an updated guide to Sing the Dark to Sleep 🎵🌊🐚 #writersky #selfpublishing #debutauthor #fantasyauthor

I’ve not done an ounce of writing the last 2 months because I’ve been busy buying/selling a house, but now that I’m done with that stressful process, I celebrated by making my #PosterPit pitches! All I can say is my posters… are actually pretty fun?? 😍✨ #writersky #writing

I’ve reached a point where I’m questioning if #tradpub is the right path for me. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love an agent & book deal! But as I notice rising discontent in trad pub, is it worth the strain? Or would I be more satisfied to have my stories published on my own terms? #booksky #querying

Finding out I made Jeni’s #RevPit shortlist AND #10Queries kept me from feeling disillusioned with this manuscript (and writing, if I’m being honest). Time to edit my pages & keep querying so Sing the Dark to Sleep can have her moment in the spotlight! 🎉
