Hey it’s been a minute! I just got back from visiting family in Atlanta and made good use of the 12-hour drive on the way home. Who can guess what this means??

No Kings in red Grand Haven, MI. 🚫👑 Roughly 1000 people on a busy intersection. Lots of honks and cheers and smiling faces, only a few thumbs down and screeching tires. We settled on chanting “USA!” at the haters. 😍

Salvage is a grounded sci-fi adventure about making mistakes, fighting back against oppressive systems of power, and seeing treasure where everyone else sees trash.

Don’t mind me, I’m wearing all the layers and drinking all the tea because I’m freezing and raging that mental health drugs are under attack. 💊☕️🤬

I unboxed my books at the Book Cellar today!! I’ve done quite a few of these over the years but this was the first time with a utility knife so I had to be extra careful haha.

After this I hand-delivered copies to local friends and it was so fun to see everyone! 😍🤩 #booksky

Eve looks just as creepy in black and white! 😱 The ebook is finalized and ready to be devoured! I got this review on NetGalley today:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I was on the edge of my seat for this whole book, it was bloody fantastic! That last line? I am obsessed!”

Writer achievement unlocked: can you even call yourself an author if you don’t have carpal tunnel syndrome? 😩 Yesterday I had electric and needle nerve tests done to determine why my arms and hands randomly tingle (electric: fine; needles: not so much)…

This smile is because I’ll be selling books at a local store during my town’s annual Wine About Winter event!! (The cup is because selfies are awkward.) I popped by @downtoearthgh to check out the space and I can’t wait!!

Starting the new year with new words! It’s been months since I’ve written and it’s taking me longer to get back in the groove than I hoped, but I’m doing it.

2024 was a year of new challenges and I’m excited to see what those decisions lead to in 2025! 🎉

I’m writing!! It’s technically mostly editing at this point but I’m back in the ya romantic suspense I started writing two years ago! I haven’t worked on a romance-forward story since then and it’s fun getting back in those squishy emotions😍😍 Dog snout for tax.

1: broken string
2: 3 knots
3: 1 knot
4: yarn

Thanks so much!
