If you like lyrical poetry, feminism, smashing the patriarchy, and empowering women, then you’ll enjoy these poetic (and witchy) fairytales for adults. 🥰

Ecstatic to be in the editing phase of Storm of Enchanted Dreams: a poetic fairytale (second edition). It will include a whole new section and a new cover design by a true artist. I will set a release date soon!

I love it. But it’s also not the heartbroken Taylor people are used to. It’s definitely a more playful side of her.

Just got you added!

I can assure you my words are still filled with rage, vengeance, and fight.

So, if you’re getting bored with Taylor, try some books by Amanda L. Ball. They’re just as lyrical (if you put a little musical tune to them).

We’re getting revenge over here.

Apparently people are not loving Taylor’s new album (I do). Maybe that’s because happy, in love Taylor doesn’t write dark, sad lyrics that people can relate to.

Many writers write from their soul, their lived experiences, their passions. I am still angry, wild, and feral.

I’m feeling all the feelings today.

The world is burning—fueled by ICE…and hate, and greed, and racism, and capitalism.

I’ve had enough.

When our government mourns a racist, Nazi-sympathizing, gun nut more than innocent children dead in their schools, we have reached the wrong side of history.

Reading is political.
Writing is political.
Poetry is political.

I am here to please no one. I am willing to say the hard things.

I wrote this entire book leading up to and at the time of the most recent presidential inauguration. I had a LOT to say.

The witches are fed up and we are taking back our peace at all costs.

May your dreams be wickedly sweet.

I can’t just stop at writing.

I started Digital Medleys LLC in 2021, which began as a medley of digital creation content and is now expanding to more.

I design witchy and Zodiac planners and journals and am now adding bookish and witchy accessories.

Turn up the volume to hear her tiny engine and wait for the end for the very best treat.

Don’t forget to love each other a little bit extra right now. 💞

I thought I would share a small bit of insight into my life.

Long story short, these two were meant for each other. Her big brother is mesmerized by her and she revels in it. (1/2)

I have been consumed by loss this year. What was supposed to be an exciting year has turned a bit more dim. To anyone else struggling with loss right now, you’re not alone. Please don’t let the pain prevent you from continuing to give and show love. We need love more than ever right now. ❤️‍🩹
