My latest substack post comes from the heart. The mixed-race identity crisis is very real, and imo isn't explored enough. This one's for all the multiracial people (and writers!) who have ever struggled with a sense of belonging.

Trying to exercise horses before the storm, because in Oklahoma you never know what you're getting. Tornado? Straight line winds? Hail? Snow? Usually in the spring time it's all of the above. 😂🫠

Have been so busy I’ve missed most of the engagement but had to jump on for this one. I’ve been riding horses & barrel racing all my life, held a WPRA card for the last 10 years (professional barrel racer), and love training. You’ll find horses in nearly everything I write. 🧡 #RevPitWaiting #RevPit

An agent's guide to BRIDGES OF MAGPIES by Chezza Lee Pitch: In a feminist reimagining of a Chinese folktale, rebellious Shizhi runs away with the farmer she’s forbidden to marry, but when a jealous Celestial Empress forces her to relive a past life that spans three realms, Shizhi must confront madness, tragedy, and hell itself to reclaim her freedom and save the man she loves. Snippet: “He swiftly pulled the needle from my palm and the sharp pain bit me again. But as I winced, a bright light flashed behind my eyes—a roiling pink gap in the stars. A glimpse of feathers tinged with blood. The heat of cracked lips against mine. The pain of my hand was lost in a wave of agony surging deep inside, from a part of myself I hadn’t known existed. Swells of bliss tainted by brokenness. The duality of joy and sorrow. I felt it all, as if I’d always been one with these feelings. I knew I should be afraid, but instead I lingered in the raw grasp of these emotions.” Comps: IMMORTAL, A SONG TO DROWN RIVERS, THE NIGHT ENDS WITH FIRE. Tropes/themes: Female agency vs. internalized misogyny; Star-crossed lovers; Morally grey FMC + MMC; Celestial immortals; Three realms / past lives; Female friendship; Diyu and the eighteen levels of hell

I keep trying to write something eloquent and just being tired.
History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them.

My favorite part of writing is when I’m 75k deep in my WIP and everything is going according to the outline then BAM! a side character goes off script and throws a major unexpected plot twist that adds so much drama and tension.

Didn’t see that coming. 🤨
