"The book chose me." Soman is right in following what inspires him creatively.

Last month I finished drafting my first novel centering a boy. (It might be my favorite, shhh). Waiting on feedback from my agent and hoping/planning to sub soon (after summer breaks). Lots of concerns about editors acquiring MG, but I'll be here, writing the next book.

Hi it’s me, Nicole.

I write warm-hearted stories about learning to be true to yourself. I have three trad published novels thus far. My work to date centers smart, creative girls who discover the power of courage, compassion and inner wisdom.

Been on Threads but the news is so wild I had to come over here to keep up.

Academia in 2025: For weeks I’ve been working through botched copy-edits of my monograph, outsourced by the publisher to a company I’d never heard of, until it finally dawned on me the terrible job might be AI.

My blog tour for A Cup of Quiet is one week away! What does a good blog tour have to offer? A deep dive into this author's writing process. Original poetry. The story behind the story. Sneak peeks into upcoming books. And—drumroll, please—Book giveaways! That's what you call a good blog tour!

Yes! On a school visit recently a kiddo asked me my favorite thing about writing and this time I said it was the figuring things out - what I actually think, how to say what I think, and putting it together like a puzzle. Then the satisfying way it clicks once it's all there.

Good morning, good people.

I have never understood the blurb economy (as one who never read them), so I will be glad if they do, indeed, go the way of the dodo. 🦤

Good morning, good people.

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt
