I haven't blogged in SO LONG, but I've had some ideas lately, and I want to use this space more in the upcoming year (and I need to completely overhaul my website!), so I figured I would start with a gigantic update most of which already came out in my newsletter. Table of Contents for… Continue reading 2025 First Quarter Update

Fall 2024 Update
It's been quite some time since I've posted much about me, so I'm just going to dump here along with some bookish updates because screaming into the void of my blog used to help immensely long ago when I had no one to talk to, so let's see if it does the trick again! The… Continue reading Fall 2024 Update
Looking Forward to 2024
I haven't done the best job blogging this year, partially because I've been microblogging in the captions of my Instagram posts, but also because I haven't felt as comfortable being vulnerable and spiraling the drain of my own deepest thoughts. I used to do that here, but I eased off years ago and never got… Continue reading Looking Forward to 2024
The Elven Days of Christmas – An Excerpt
Chapter 1 - An Accountant and Too Few Fir Trees Get it now! The world was a pall of white, snow blanketing the earth and hanging thickly from branches bent under its weight. A second shroud of white hung in dense clouds above, though the sun broke through to set the frosty scape aglitter. Otherworldly… Continue reading The Elven Days of Christmas – An Excerpt
Bound to Fall – Cover Reveal (It’s Almost Here!)

#1LineWed – Bound to Fall – Inevitable Inebriation
If I ever don't write about inebriated idiots interacting with their potential love interests, I'm deceased. You guys know all these lines are in their pre-edited states right? Sometimes they remain the same in the final manuscript, but I forget what I post, and I edit with abandon like a bajillion times before releasing books,… Continue reading #1LineWed – Bound to Fall – Inevitable Inebriation
A Week of Fantasy Indies Posts for January
I'm doing #FantasyIndiesJanuary alongside my edits for Eclipse of the Crown.

Day One: Introduction You've probably seen this before, but it's the mood board for Eclipse of… Continue reading A Week of Fantasy Indies Posts for January
Everything’s Gonna Be Good Now, Right?
New year, new expectations. Everything's back to zero: page reads, orders, attempts at doing a new thing. January 1st is so full of opportunity, it's practically debilitating. But it's just another day. And just another year. You can start anytime you want, this is all arbitrary, but I am doing a little reset for myself.… Continue reading Everything’s Gonna Be Good Now, Right?
State of the AKC 2022
No, not the American Kennel Club. Me. If Sanderson can do this, so can I. (Well, okay, that is a gross overstatement, I just mean I can attempt anything he does because why not?) First, A Retrospective What did I even do in 2022? Well, I actually had to go and look, and it turns… Continue reading State of the AKC 2022
#1LineWed – Theme: Scent of Musk
Probably the closest I'll get to getting kicked off Twitter? It's a shame because I've used the platform since 2009 on and off, and I've curated my feed to the best of my abilities to follow people who write and read, so my timeline is often filled with amazing book recommendations and people who share… Continue reading #1LineWed – Theme: Scent of Musk
