Yeah, my parents never found out - and it was my car my friend was driving. His mad skills saved our lives.

Teenagers can be very stupid.

Looked at attending CYMERA too much with the writing retreat and fantasycon I don't want to tap myself dry.

Tell me a random fact about yourself that sounds fake but is 100% true.

I almost had a friend drive us off a cliff going 160mph when I was sixteen. Trying to "bury the needle" on a road with a sharp bend at the end and cliffs on both sides. We screamed in happiness when we didn't die.

When we went to adopt a kitten six years ago it was BOGO so it cost the same to adopt one as it did two, and I still only planned to get one - until we found two sisters and couldn't take just one. Worth it at the time, and no issues over 6 years, but that's just these two particular siblings;)

So excited to share that I forgot +ALT details. The image is a screenshot of my Audible account showing the title details for the audiobook of Jitterbug by Gareth L. Powell. Besides the audiobook cover, the text reads:

Just remember you can hug the walls and escape outside whenever you need to. Those are the two tactics I use to survive.

I need to cut the soda, too. I've tried so many times but it's so difficult.

Yeah, I just meant we're Americans living in the UK, and back home it would be frowned upon for a mom to let her kid livestream while drinking next to me. If that makes sense. I don't judge but so many people do.

My asexual 18yo was convinced by a friend to basically have me play Smash or Pass and then she has to guess my answers. SHE is mortified, and will be lubricated with alcohol (her only condition, and it's legal here in the UK) while I am HIGHLY amused by getting to torture her. For fun. #SmashOrPass

About me:

I love books, cats, and the F-word, plus the LGBTQIA+ community 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️.

For books, it's sci-fi, fantasy, romance, mystery, and any combinations imaginable.

I am writing a sci-fi/fantasy novella (?) at the moment, currently at 20K+ words. Any word count posts are referencing that project.

Also, I haven't slept since yesterday's nap. My focus is nonexistent.

I was going to write today but I have SO MUCH RESEARCH to do for this book. Sure, I could make it up as I go, and say "in my world..." but the lore is there, I just have to sift through it. I won't be lazy. But research maybe results in 1-2 lines, max of 50 words. Sigh. #WritingCommunity

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

First, I have to explain that I don't believe in coincidences - or rather, I believe in happy accidents: this book's main character is so much like the guy I'e be writing about all weekend, but I swear I created him first;) This book will be a reference for future querying.
