Part of facing my fear is sitting with the title of an author, claiming it, and recognizing I am part of the writing community, not an imposter.

I have a Kickstarter out for my first Children book Kiki's Christmas. I did all the watercolor art myself.

As I am promoting this I am editing a paranormal short story and working in completing book 3 of my Zelda Harcrow series.

Finished @wiswell.bsky.social's book 'Someone you can Build a Nest in'. Really enjoyed it, would recommend! It seems to have achieved everything it set out to do, which must not have been easy considering the main character. 🖤

Now on to read The Murderbot Diaries by @marthawells.com !

The cover of the book. Two creatures stand on a road limned by trees, shrubs and funghi. They are approaching a town, seen off in the distance. The feeling is late medieval.
