I’m currently recording myself reading my second book (Crossed) for members of our Summoned Patreon. I’m so happy to do it, but man, is it tough. So much respect & admiration for those who do this professionally. #booksky

and if you’d like to check out some of the bookish music i’ve already released, feel free to give it a listen :) songs inspired by Twilight, The Hunger Games, and the Summoned Series 🤍 open.spotify.com/artist/62xjr...

I have never googled when things were invented/written/etc. so much in my life. The third book in my series will be set in the 17th century, I said. It’ll be fun, I said. (Okay, it *is* fun, but still.) #booksky

hi #booksky 💙📚!! my besties have been trying to get me to read Throne of Glass for a while and i’m finally going to start! i love writing music inspired by stories, so i’m looking forward to seeing what could come from this 👀 any other bookish artists (of any medium) out there??

I think the hardest part of being author (for me) might actually be the wait. I am currently waiting to scream from the rooftops about so many things. Release date, cover, new characters in the series, SO MANY THINGS. #booksky

lately, I hope this reminds you of your power. The world needs our stories now as much as it ever has. (2)

As I sit down to work on my manuscript today, I am reminding myself that “the pen is mightier than the sword.” I’ve been feeling gloomy and honestly a little helpless lately as I look at everything happening, but books are powerful. If you’re a writer who’s been discouraged (1)

Just told my husband that my worst days at our bed & breakfast are better than my best days from when I worked in corporate. I’m really grateful for the lessons & the perspective that former life lent me, but I can’t imagine trading this lifestyle for that one… ever.

I have so much anxiety that I can’t sleep so I just want to say that I’m determined to fight in the best way I know how: by sharing stories that matter.

That might sound or feel silly to some but stories, books, and information hold immense power. There’s a reason they’re trying to ban books.

Wiiiild.

Currently working through edits on my third book, and I’ve realized that every single time I finish drafting a new story, I will be just about as giddy as the first time. I mean, I wrote a BOOK.

This is exhausting.

Time for my inaugural post 🥹 Hi! I’m M.B. I’m a romantasy author with @contrarianpublishing.com, and my husband and I are the owners of the Miller Tree Inn in Forks, WA. We are designated as the book-accurate Cullen House from Twilight! Hoping to connect with all the book girlies!

hello hello :) if you like Twilight and want to see some content from Forks WA, come along this bluesky journey with me 🤍🌲🌧️
