That's fantastic! It's gotta feel amazing to open a box of your books and get to hold them! Congrats on book 3!

Yay! 🎉🌈

A book cover of a young woman with her back to the viewer, looking over her shoulder. She has a rifle strapped to her back and is wearing a white leather jacket. A neon teal flame is in her open hand. A fox made of neon teal flame stands in front of her.

My debut novel, Iron Spirit, came out a couple months ago! It's on Amazon KU until the end of January and then will go wide again. a.co/d/eL1xy3E

I'm a nonbinary trans author and one of the characters in this series is trans. (:

I love this cover art!

Right?! I love asking, "How much can I torture my MC?"

The lie they tell themselves. That helps determine their change trajectory and what external conflicts need to happen to challenge that lie. Character dev is my favorite!

Me! I'm fueled by chai

You've got this!

SAME! Prologue Pals Unite!

Great article! I'll share this with the Lab!

Of course! You got this!

You do! Feel free to reach out to me if you need any recommendations! I love assigning book homework, lol

This is so true. Don't give up!

I just wrapped up my reread of Stormlight Archives 4 and waiting patiently for book 5 to arrive tomorrow... OK, not so patiently... I'm distracting myself with The Old Man and the Sea. I hope you enjoy A Christmas Carol! It's a good one.

Hey, you're putting clay on the wheel. You can shape it later!
