People have a lot of nerve writing new books when I still haven't finished reading the books that have already been written.

Never thought I would be a “notes app” kind of writer, but as it turns out, I totally am.

Romance has been keeping publishing afloat for a while now. And far more people read romance than will admit to it.
And in the audiobook world? We have narrators who are FAMOUS for doing romance audiobooks. They’re basically celebrities.

seriously, it appears that while basically nobody is reading fiction anymore when it comes to 90% of genres of literature, a lot of very horny people must be spending a lot of money on romance novels

Do me a favor, take a deep breath, hold it for 5 seconds, and release, let the tension in your shoulders go, unclench your jaw, stop pushing your tongue to the roof of your mouth, take another deep breath, and then start doing your laundry.

I wrote a book this year called Undead, Kansas. It’s about zombies invading #LFK and De Soto and Olathe. I skipped right over Eudora and I’m fine with that.

One thing that’s annoying about me is I’m going to be honest with you.
Why didn’t I go to Thanksgiving with relatives?
Because my aunt thinks the Covid vaccine is a government conspiracy to put trackers in people and blow up their heads.
That’s why I didn’t come to Thanksgiving, Grams.

This year, I finished my MA, published a few books, sold a couple of short stories, spoke on several panels at conferences, and wrote my first short podcast script. It was a good year in writing, but I think 2026 will be even better!

I’m upset. I’m reading a book I wrote a few years ago where a character adopts a dog. KNOWING that I am allergic to dogs and can never adopt one, why do I do this to myself?
