The roofs of the sod houses in my post-apocalyptic society, and the eyes of my gay gangster love interest

Good girls don't take dangerous investigations into their own hands, but Liv's used to being a disappointment.

I've got a gangster body horror short coming up in the brand new pub SLUGGER!

Unfortunately this scene from my dystopian book is entirely based on the reality of the dish return at my college :(

My bestie got an agent, and one of my favorite books ever is one step closer to being in the world!!!!!

Don't worry "Smart Bitches, Trashy Books" - I am.

So if a salad is more than 23 bites big it becomes a Caesar by the end?

"Prey animal rage" and "predator animal fear"? That's just the two POVs in #TheScourge

Me: Why is this playlist so sad?

Also Me: Oh wait this is my Dead Deer Playlist

MY BESTIE AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS

Love is love, sure, but confusing hatelovefucking is also confusing hatelovefucking and we should honor that in all orientations 😇 #TheScourge #WIP

To say I'm absolutely wrecked by Andor (and the following rewatch of Rogue One) would be a woeful understatement.

When this is the dynamic between the two characters in your book except they're both POV characters and which is which depends on who you ask (both are liars)

By this metric I am very successful.

I keep telling myself I'll cultivate a very demure, very mindful author profile on here sometime, but let's be real, I won't. So I'm gonna start contextless goblinposting about my books now. Here's a song that manages to feel like both Soft Place & Splinter (a feat)

Y'all I'm officially IN THE TRENCHES

I've been trying to learn how to paint/draw people (either digitally or on paper). It's humbling, as I've been doing fiber art pretty exclusively these past few years and I'm actually *good* at that, but it's still fun. Here's Brigid, the MC from the book I'm querying, A SOFT PLACE TO LAND

Thank you! I call it "cozy grimdark" for a reason!

Lesbian longing? ✅
Beautiful forest? ✅
Cheerful animal companions? ✅
Trapped for eternity as the sole human in a gentle but lonely afterlife, where the only way out is to find true internal peace? ✅ - Wait... What?

A SOFT PLACE TO LAND (or is it?)

Thank you!!!

A cute, sketch-style drawing of a deer with giant ears, on a bright green background

Is that a *talking deer*?

In this afterlife, anything is possible. Except purpose. Or progress. Or other people.

In order to escape her pleasant purgatory, Brigid must make peace with her life (and death)

But how can she, with so many regrets?
