screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Entire series on sale! It isn’t just about fated mates—it’s about breaking toxic cycles, healing the past & discovering what real love looks like.

Jealousy & possessiveness runs deep, & characters must fight for their own identities before they can fight for each other. #Booksky #Paranormalromance

When you’re writing a paranormal romance, but go a little hard on the descriptions and need to add a disclaimer before the standard CWs… #BookSky #ParanormalRomance

Oh, so you want to write a spicy scene right now? Nope! You’re now going to have a sneezing fit instead. Way to rip me out of the mood, cold. 🫠 #BookSky #spicybooks

ⓘ This author writes and reads open door smut scenes but also supports authors and readers who don’t write/read open door. #BookSky

I should be sleeping, but a certain demon prince wants me to write about him some more. 🫠 #BookSky #ParanormalRomance

Apparently my books have more hooks than I realized. I never considered certain scenes being a draw, but hearing why they are powerful/would draw readers in, I get it. It’s like, I can write a good hook, I just don’t realize it’s a good hook. I only wrote what felt right 🤷🏻‍♀️ #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Today is two years since my debut as a paranormal romance author with Mark of the Vasirian! My first go at ever writing a book.

Am I where I wished I’d be? No. Am I grateful for what I have achieved and the people I’ve met? Absolutely.

Thank you to those who’ve been with me on this ride. #BookSky

My husband helped reshape the foundation for my current series WIP.

I was telling him about the world, politics, etc, and he asked questions like a beta reader. I told him I was stuck on one point. That’s when he blew my mind with a PERFECT idea.

Love an unintentional collab. #BookSky

I think because I feel it’s a disservice to write my babies into instalove stories, I’m destined to write slow to medium burns as series openers. (No, that doesn’t necessarily mean low spice as those who’ve read my last two books can attest to. Fractured Fate is insane, but medium burn.) #BookSky

I wrote 5,734 words overnight. Two whole chapters. Someone be proud of me while I go to bed finally. #BookSky #WritingCommunity

I’m writing a chapter where the banter and character development between one of the MMCs and the FMC is making me giddy. I always know when I feel giddy over a scene, my readers will eat. It always happens that way. (Let’s hope it proves true again!) I LOVE THIS MAN! #BookSky #ParanormalRomance #PNR

Sending so much love to LGBTQ+ folks today. To my trans, queer, and nonbinary siblings. I am holding space for our fears, our devastation, our frustration, and rage. I am holding space for our hope, our love, our devotion, and joy.

Ive spent the last 5 hours outlining the first two books of a trilogy. 👀 I really want to finish all three before sleeping since it’s in my head and I don’t want to lose it, but it’s almost 6am. 🫠

“Raw. Next question.” #vampires #books #paranormalromance

Our characters are like unruly children. They never do what we want, and they keep us up at night.

If you use GenAI to produce your book, you’re not an author. You have ideas, at most. You’re using real author’s words fed into a tech designed to “write” for you. You’re a thief, not an author.

I said what I said.

I’m in love with a hair tool. That is all. That’s the post.

Did I decide to go back and reshape my WIP’s development and formulate a new outline using the old as a rough guide because I have different ideas? Maybe.

I don’t write normal length books (see: traditional publishing standards for my genre). 🫠 That’s why self-publishing works for me!

I don’t like restricting myself because then I leave too much out. I did with MotV when I tried to stick to standard but still went over and I felt it needed more.

Making it clear now:

My why choose is MMFMM. This isn’t all about her. The relationship extends beyond her pick of 4 demon princes.

2 only have eyes for her, but 2 share something I refuse to break for bigotry. My chars presented themselves to me this way & it won’t change. 🖤

Writers don't need therapy. We have fictional characters to project our issues onto.

It’s really hard not to spoil my WIP, but I want to blabber about it sometimes. 🤭

Sharing now that we’re coming up on two years since book one’s release. 🖤♥️🩸 🥀

The Blackthorn Saga says goodbye to cliché instalove fated mate tropes and hello to vampire romance all about healing, self-discovery, and REAL love.

With new adult characters, angst is aplenty in this addictive series.
