I had the honor of being a guest on the Unfortunately...Podcast! If you're a writer who has ever gotten an "Unfortunately..." message, this podcast is for you! It's a writer to writer discussion about craft and how we learn from failures. Here's my episode, but you should listen to them all!

How about a little preview of our next episode (out Friday!) for your Tuesday scroll?
We chatted with @sasahawk.bsky.social about identifying your own patterns, plotting vs pantsing, writing synopses, genre labels as marketing tools, promo strategies, and more! #WritingCommunity #WritingPodcast

Independent Bookstore Day is Saturday April 26! It's a great day to support local businesses & stick it to The Zon, who is trying to poach sales with their own event. As for me, I'll be signing UNLOCK THE DARK (and shopping) at Plenty Bookshop and A Little Bookish this weekend!

Canadian friends, please pay attention to this. As a US citizen who is horrified by the crumbling relationship between our countries, I understand why Canada is retaliating our tariffs with their own. But this one hurts Canadian authors too!

The book I just wrote takes place in a magical mountain region in summer. Somehow the meta algorithm figured this out and has been showing me travel reels and ads for Switzerland. Idk what I googled to get these stunning videos, but I don't mind one bit. I think I need to visit...for research! ๐ค
