I haven't had the chance to introduce myself or my business. I'm a traditionally published author and experienced editor. I specialize in developmental and copy edits. I also write killer query letters! Currently booking for March.

I'm doing a developmental edit on a GREAT thriller right now. I love it when tons of ideas come to me as I'm reading. This is going to be great!

Or super qualified and not get any job, lol

My piece, The Weight of Words, was nominated for a Pushcart Prize by Chicago Story Press.

Yup. And I've only had ONE mild case in four years.

We're off to California to visit my mom today. I haven't been there in five years. I'm excited but stressed about packing and getting these kids out of here...

Sometimes, the word “that” is needed while writing. I see this in client manuscripts a lot. #revisiontip

Oh god. That’s a lot. I’m so sorry, Heather.

Opinion | What R.F.K. Jr. Might Do on Vaccines As the nation’s top health official, he could discourage vaccine research and production, and dissuade Americans from getting shots.

Essential reading from @mtosterholm.bsky.social and Zeke Emanuel in @nytimes.com.

RFK Jr doesn’t need to ban vaccines to get people to stop vaccinating. He’s already racked up a sizable body count just by casting doubt. Imagine what he will do with a bigger platform

We could eliminate cervical cancer.

Now that RFK is in there, we're probably going to see a surge of cases if the HPV vaccine becomes unavailable or they remove recommendations...

Yes. I'm on one due to writer's block, a severe eating disorder that landed me in the hospital for a year, and client edits.

Yeah I'm so far away...in Boise

Oh that's so cool! I'd love to go to a dog show.

Oliver is a Havanese dog; he is little and fluffy with light brown spots.

Hi all! I wanted to introduce Oliver...

Hey, all, my first post! I’m an Anthony-nominated author of WALKING THROUGH NEEDLES and HURT FOR ME. My queer suspenseful mystery THIS VIOLENT HEART is available for pre-order now:

This is my first time on blue sky. I’m a writer, a mom, and an editor. Lately, with all the political bs and personal struggles, I haven’t been writing. But I’m hopeful to find my friends here and meet some new ones!
