back from a successful hunt!

#thehuntforbensolo

really did not expect 2025 to contain this level of (1) validation (2) My Villain Origin Story.

is a first kiss at the graveyard spooky enough for an October repost? 🪦👄 #OCs #Phlegethon

True story: At one point in the editing process, I got nervous and asked HarperCollins to consult their lawyers about whether I was plagiarizing the Four Quartets. 😅 (They said it was fine.)

When you have an evening reception at 7 but have to crawl the cathedral steps in penance for getting Thomas Beckett killed at 3

Saccesplul ☺️

love this for them!

Congratulations!! 💞

A six-panel comic called Signs of Spring, Ranked. In panel 1, #10 is Robin - not always a useful sign since robins are quietly present in winter in many areas. In panel 2, there's #9: Daffodil - nice, mundane, #8: Skunk Cabbage - unusual, cool, and #7: Dutchman's Breeches - lol. In panel 3, there's #6: Turkey vulture migrating - gloriously ominous, a humbling reminder of life's transience, and #5: very very small bunny - wow, the little ears. In panel 4 there's #4: Snake sunbathing, with a gartersnake warming itself - underappreciated, looks cozy, and #3: Woodcock going peent - the perfect sound. In panel 5 there's #2: small frogs yelling as loud as they can, with a wood frog floating in a pool inflating itself to make a loud quack - they crave love, or at least they crave the external fertilization of 1500 gelatinous eggs. In panel 6, there's #1, Even smaller frogs yelling, with a spring peeper sitting on the ground making loud calls - yes, YES.

Signs of spring, ranked.

let's be real this is how we've been imagining him all these years

Acrylic painting in a warm color palette, showing Lúthien Tinúviel (from Tolkien's Silmarillion) and the Wolfhound Huan, towering over Sauron, who kneels defeated on the ground. In the background, the fortress of Tol-in-Gaurhoth shatters.

Acrylics on paper (and the Silmarillion art obsession continues)

Wow congratulations!!!

Okay it may seem bad that Meta appropriated the entirety of the written word without compensating or even consulting with any writers, but consider what the world got out of it: a thing you accidentally tap in Instagram

Verr soft. Much purr. Some resent.

SOUNDS LIKE A SKILL ISSUE. I AM CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT EMPEROR’S NEW GROOVE IN CONNECTION WITH EVERYTHING.

HOW DID YOU WRITE THOSE TWO ENTIRE BOOKS WITHOUT REALIZING THIS??? 😂

The background is of ocean waves bordered with gold. Text reads, "What the Sea Brings. Late Summer 2025. Snowy Wings Publishing"

The background is of ocean waves bordered with gold. The text reads, "The Little Mermaid meets When Marnie Was There. Middle Grade Cozy Fantasy. Previously known as Minimal Mermaid"

The background is of ocean waves bordered with gold. The text reads, "The law of the sea is give and take, ebb and flow. Long ago, it took Lynnette's brother. Now, its brought her a friend. Or is he an enemy?"

I’m delighted to announce my next book, What the Sea Brings, will arrive just in time for summer! I’m so thrilled to be publishing with @snowywingspublishing.com once again.

My quiet little book is a love letter to Redwall Abbey with a dash of mermaids. Add it on Goodreads / StoryGraph! #MGlit
