Hi, #AuthorsOfBluesky! I'm Erika and I love reading and writing but not arithmetic.

I'm working on my first novel, an Urban Fantasy about a girl caught in the world of modern-day Angels and Demons. 🖤

My writing community is small, but I'd LOVE to connect with other authors in this genre!

I play 🖤Dark Academia Writing Playlists🖤 with the windows open because I would love to be the lady from "that one house with the moody music."

Mine is WHISPHER 🤫

My daughter's school district had an email glitch and sent EVERY STUDENT a library overdue notice 😳

I can only imagine the number of emails those poor librarians had in their inboxes today!

Only at night 🦇

E R I K A @erikatheauthor.bsky.social · Sep 8

That's called bonding time, and it's VERY emotionally productive ❤️

E R I K A @erikatheauthor.bsky.social · Sep 8

Look at you getting ahead of your to-do list!

E R I K A @erikatheauthor.bsky.social · Sep 8

Right?!? It's always...one more chapter.

E R I K A @erikatheauthor.bsky.social · Sep 6

And a force to be reckoned with!

It's Friday night. Will you:

A. Go to bed at a decent hour so you can have a productive Saturday getting so much done

B. Read

She can skim and judge or read and judge...either way there will be judging!

E R I K A @erikatheauthor.bsky.social · Sep 6

Done and done!

I've reached a point in my novel where I need to decide...

...do I need to write an edited version so my mom can read it? 😂

I need a #cookbook where setting the oven is listed as step number four or five.

I'm already stressing about the cookies turning out, then the oven goes and beeps at me and I'm only on step number three and wasting heat 😂

E R I K A @erikatheauthor.bsky.social · Aug 13

Just the name sounds super cozy! Thanks for the book rec.

E R I K A @erikatheauthor.bsky.social · Aug 12

I'm falling more in love with cozy fantasy books.

Have any book recs for me to read (or let's be honest add to my TBR)?

And yes, I know I could have gone the audiobook route, but I didn't this time (learned my lesson.)
