This weekend, I taught myself to draw fantasy maps! Skalterra is a realm that runs parallel to ours. Full of magicians and monsters, Skalterra can be described as a β€œgaslamp Hyrule” type world.

My husband doesn’t like when the sun comes through this little window and blinds him. This is his solution.

Having now done both, I’m realizing there’s a considerable amount of overlap between cheerleading and martial arts.

I’ve never made 100 audible sales in a single month but this month I’m closer than EVER at 79. If you’ve been hankering for a fun, YA superhero escape full of heart and twists, I’ve got a trilogy with absolutely superb narrating waiting for you!

Can I brag about my cover artist for a moment? Maria is a personal friend, and being able to hire her for my books has been such a joy. Her cover for Beta was even a finalist in the SPFBO9 cover contest.

What’s extra wild? These are her only book covers! She works in theme design!

Maria always does such an incredible job!

What if I dropped a cover reveal video at midnight my time and then went to bed??

(Maria Mondloch is the talented artist behind ALL my covers, and that’s Elizabeth Phillips back to narrate another one of my books!)

I’m going viral on TikTok and Threads for my mother in law’s dog and viral on Instagram because my husband watches yu-gi-oh while I write. But I don’t post on Bluesky ever, so I’m hiding out here while I take a breather.

What media helps pass the time for you when travelling?

I like an audiobook myself.

Currently listening to Delta by @mtzimny.bsky.social, and HIGHLY recommend 😁

Promo codes do work without a subscription! If you’re willing to part with a US code, I’ll definitely get you on my list! It looks like a fun read!

One of my 2025 reading goals is to read 12 YA indie books in 12 months, which means I NEED RECS!

They MUST be indie, and they MUST be YA. If they are accessible in Spotify or requestable in Libby, that’s a major bonus (I don’t have an audible subscription).

Does Bluesky like pictures?

Here’s me being a ham with my books to mask the fact that I’m very nervous in this picture! It’s a bit unserious, but I think I like it!

Anyway, this picture comes with a fun author-y backstory, but those details are secret right now.

It’s Human Voices Only Day so remember to hug your (human) narrators!

Ai will never be able to send you a video of them cussing you out because your book made them sad. Anyway. Here’s Elizabeth Phillips doing exactly that to me. Strong language ahead πŸ˜…

My beige flag is that I can’t stop going to the Funko flagship store and making my characters into custom Funkos.

Meet Andersen. He’s kinda a jerk.

As an author, I’m thrilled my toddler is currently obsessed with books. As a tired mom, I’m devastated that her bedtime routine is now a half-hour longer and full of demands of β€œmore read!!”

I think the hardest part of this is that it requires us to be honest with ourselves! I’m having to learn that just because something is valuable to me doesn’t mean it is going to be valuable to potential readers. I think I’ll staring asking myself β€œwould I watch this if someone else posted it?”
