Some protest by marching, some by donating money, some by running for office. There are many ways to protest and fight back. I do so with my words.

(5) May the wonderland you create for yourself be one that you never want to escape from.

(4) While this next book will take us all on a journey through confusion, anger, vengeance, and growth, it is also intended to add a little whimsy to make us grown-ups remember what it felt like to be a child with hope.

(3) I am proudly a feminist writer. I am not quiet about the realities in our world. I will call it out over and over again. Transforming all of this pent up rage into written art is what gets me through it.

(2) My books and writings are meant to shed light on the cruelty in our wake and the vengeance and hope we all need to get through this.

It is not easy for me to find joy when the world around us is burning and innocent people are dying at the hands of our government. (1)

This Friday (12/12/25) is the release of the second edition of my debut book, Storm of Enchanted Dreams: a poetic fairytale.

As adults, we are surrounded by chaosβ€”in our minds and in our world. It is time to bring a bit of hope back to the adults who still dream of a better tomorrow.

One of my favorite parts about proofreading/reviewing my books is that it always inspires new ideas for future work. Inspiring myself over here. I’m my favorite author. ✍️

I definitely do better at in-person events. Social media is so flooded, it makes it really difficult to get your name out there.

I just want to be some random stranger’s favorite author. Who wants to read:

β€’ witchy
β€’ lyrical poetry
β€’ macabre
β€’ whimsical
β€’ fairytales for adults
β€’ feral, untamed women

The Book Witch is here to deliver some hope and encouragement…and a bit of vengeance. πŸͺ„ πŸ§™πŸ»β€β™€οΈ πŸ’«

I never could get on board with Twitter or X. Definitely love the vibes here more, but I’m not sure it’s doing much in way of getting my books out there.

It really is so hard to find the right balance with it all. And I have no answers. I’m totally winging it over here. πŸ˜‚

may deter some readers who could potentially enjoy my books. But I’m not saying this is the best way. I just want to attract the right kind of readers for my books.

It does often feel like a double-edged sword. I choose to keep β€œfeminist” in my description to prepare readers for what to expectβ€”equality for all, smashing the patriarchy, and devouring the rich. Reading and books are political, and so I prefer to state where I fall right up frontβ€”knowing that it

Absolutely! And the way it changes over time is definitely affecting our brains.

THIS!! This is definitely it. How to find the readers is the next quest.

It feels like I get TONS of views with much smaller population of followers and even a much much smaller population of buyers. I feel like we’ve moved into a scroll-happy social media society and further away from conversations.

This is interesting to read. I have noticed less from the cis boys club, but I also market my books as FEMINIST, so it keeps a lot of those types away (which is fine by me).

Yes! Would love to hear what’s working for others. I know I probably need to start making reels and doing some spoken word, but I do so much talking and video recording in my day job that it feels exhausting doing it for my writing.

Do you post specifically on BlueSky or use other platforms?

2025 has definitely been rough all the way around. Marketing is my biggest issue as an indie author.
