It's so exciting to be writing my first novel: #Ellamir, a #Regency adventure #romance, featuring characters exceedingly similar to some of the most memorable #JaneAusten creations, trying to maintain decorum in an increasingly chaotic high #fantasy world. Coming in 2026!

Working on a literary leaning, Japan-based YA portal fantasy. This is from the prologue...the rest is first person modern POV with a healthy dose of Japanese folklore. #WIPsnips #amwriting #YA

I absolutely loved the first book and adored the second book. This book was filled with twice as many puns and…dragons!

Don’t get me started on the pirates. They were all such fun characters πŸ˜‚ I loved this book with all of its new characters. I can’t wait to read the third book when I get it and for the fourth one to be released (I already pre-ordered it). I highly recommend this series if you like cozy fantasies filled with adventure and hilarious puns!

Creatives beware: scammers are making fake accounts to befriend you, gain trust, then "refer" you to their "main/real account" for services. It's all the same person. Stay sharp. Don't trust random referrals in DMs.

In folklore Hydrangea were sometimes linked to vanity and boastfulness due to their large, showy blooms. However, they are also associated with abundance, gratitude, and even spiritual understanding. Some believe that the changing colors of hydrangea blooms reflect the moods of faeries.

A popular Japanese legend tells of an emperor who gifted blue hydrangeas to the family of the woman he loved as a way to apologize for neglecting her in favor of his work. This legend is a key reason why blue hydrangeas symbolize gratitude and apology in Japan.

Some folklore myths and legend in alt text. Hydrangea are blooming prolifically this month in UK. Beautiful in blue, managed to capture some purple-pink variety today.
