My 100% no-AI book finally triggered an AI-generated scam. (Spoiler alert to the scammer: you don't need to ask an author if your readers can read and review a published book.) I brushed up the grammar and present to you: AI scam email as book promo! 😂 (Cover photo, graphics, and edits by me.)

We've had the pleasure of taking care of this sweet and pretty girl for the past two weeks so she wouldn't be pastured alone while she's in a transition period.

Winter is coming. Feeling that need to get out and hike the beautiful fall colors while I can. Dogs think anytime is a good time.

Forest of aspen trees turning yellow and pines. Black shepherd with tan legs on the trail.

Every year I feel grateful and slightly amazed when the seasons change and nature keeps on doing its thing. As if one year, maybe something different will occur. Of course, I'm also somebody who's always slightly amazed by sunrise and sunset every day.
A wooden fence in the foreground. Colorful fall aspen trees in the middle ground. Pine forest and gray clouds in the background.

Hiked up here for the first time this year. The silence was profoundly restorative.
A mountain meadow in early fall, surrounded by aspens and pine trees. More mountains in the distance.

My publisher has a reveal planned next week for all three Perilous Gods covers at once. 😍 I love the covers so much! It's so exciting as an author getting great artwork; seeing the thing you hope will entice readers to take a closer look at your blood, sweat, and tears project. Can't wait to share!

Just got a first look at the cover under design for While the Gods Sleep -- the stand-alone book one of my Perilous Gods trilogy -- releasing in September. I love it and I'm so excited to share more soon about this book and this set!!
