MJEC 📚 Writes

After such a busy weekend at the Comic Swap, I needed to reorder business cards. I'm taking it as a good sign from the universe that a SunDog appeared in the sky right afterward. 🤘🤘
Rock on, my fellow indie authors.

I get spammed with those emails, and it's so heartbreaking. :(

And thank you! I'm stoked!

The vibes are queer & fem amateur detectives vs monstrous secrets with sprinkling of something that may be supernatural in a quirky smalltown.

Ebook pre-orders are available now for December 1st.

Weekend update: The first ARC review has rolled in for "Somewhere Long Forgotten" and it's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5!

They are such a fun art form; whenever I see a zine stall, there's always at least one that I want. 💖💖

The free zines I make are usually only available at in-person vendor events I attend; but after talking with my local bookstore, they invited me to add my creations to the local zine area at the front of their store.
I'm thinking of making them available for download from my site in the future.

Thank you!

The inspiration comes from my admiration of CR's perseverance in pursuit of her artistic dreams. It took her 10+ years to get where she is today, and I reflect on her journey whenever I'm feeling discouraged/impatient about my own.

Dropped off a few eclectic zines at our local bookstore.

The pink one [new] is my first zine that I've 100% created on procreate; others were collages made on canva.

Tired after a long day at the market, but I loved meeting new friends.

I simply MUST know the librarian's origin story.

This experience is worse than editing, imo. 😭😭

Next weekend will be busy again! This'll be my first time in Forest Grove as a vendor, I'm hopeful for a good experience 🫰
Also, any zine inspos for the MFTS event? I'm all ears.

Even though I'm editing and working on a third poetry chapbook, I've taken the time to craft cute kits for future events.
I hope folks like them as we had into gift season. 🫣💖

That's a sentient "Ethically Sourced Micro Brew" for sure!

Just me, and my favorite hat, finishing round 3 of edits for "Somewhere Long Forgotten". The end is in sight!!
