I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Could the arc of the moral universe be a little shorter please

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

HALFWAY ✨ Some books are super easy to write—like turning on a faucet. Others are more like hauling a cat out from under the bed on the 4th of July. I’ll let you guess what type of book this one is 😉

Black Hills Arcana is coming 🤠✨🏔️

EMPIRE OF SILENCE X WHEN THE MOON HATCHED

In a distant star system, a betrayed princess must decide whether she’ll let grief break her. Or whether she’ll fight for her freedom to rise again as a rebel queen.

Trying to be here more starts with resharing this news! ⬇️

✨ I’m so excited to be joining the R&W family and publishing my Black Hills Arcana series under the Dragonbrae imprint!

If you like cowboys, monsters, and magic, I think you’re going to love Black Hills Arcana 🤠🐴 ✨

I have always struggled with how to share all the disparate pieces of myself on social media. The Business. The Writing. The Horses. The Personal Life. And everything else gluing together the cracks of Me.

This year I am resolved to stop worrying.

Enjoy this snap of Book 9.

🎅 Looking for a last-minute holiday gift? Want to curl up with some cozy and wintery stories this weekend? 🎄❄️

I have a story out in a new anthology from Knight Writing Press called Particular Passages: Decked Halls!

Get it here: books2read.com/u/mYDxRM

I had so much fun chatting with fellow Murderbugs authors! We talked about story origins, finding your voice, bugs with murderous intent, and other writerly things.

SO stoked to be part of this with a reprint of one of my stories!

Such Great Heights = Elder Millennial Anthem

but

The District Sleeps Alone Tonight = Young Gen X Lament

So so very true. You have to love writing for the writing. Nothing else.

Me: I think the coolest sport is horse golf

Guy: do you mean polo?

Me: [realizing he isn't classy enough to know about horse golf] yes

A great film!

"ai is making it so everyone can make art"
everyone can make art dumbass it came free with your fucking humanity

The witch marks her calendar by conker carpet underfoot, by the apple-rot smell in air. She tells the moving year from the bonefire incense sending smoke-wraith prayers to boundary gods, by the slow change of wood's coat from green to golden. – Emily Banting, 1982

Three book piles. The caption reads HOW MUCH YOU LEARN The first pile has two red coloured books indicating how much you learn with the title FROM THEORY the second pile has the first, but now includes an additional four blue books with the title FROM PRACTICE the third and final pile includes the first two but now has an additional nine books with the title FROM MISTAKES the aim of this is that we make the most progress from the mistakes which allow us to learn.

Love this so much. We can’t be perfect and it’s from the mistakes we make that we have the most growth!

Definitely the best part of publishing is when you explain (some of) it to a friend in a different industry and just get a flat stare and then "But none of that makes any sense."

WE KNOW IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

THIS IS WHY WE'RE ALL BURNING OUT AND LOSING OUR MINDS
