The subject matter of this month's writing update should come as a surprise. And it is a shorter update this time because, well, publishing GOATS has been my main focus, and my Year In Review blog post is coming up in just a couple of weeks.

COVER REVEAL TIME! I'm excited to unleash GOATS upon the world & can't wait for publication day. This one is truly a passion project & I've poured so much of my heart & soul into it. The story is not for everyone but I think that's why I love it🍄

When I write, I have comp titles and inspiration movies in mind. But it's fascinating seeing what other titles readers relate my books to. If you're wondering what GOATS is like, here's what my beta readers thought.

With pre-orders & ARC applications coming soon, I think it's time I warn you about GOATS. Some beta readers said the book was almost too gory😈 This psychedelic folk horror story is unlike anything I've ever written before.

I may have locked myself inside to stay warm and get ahead on my writing goals, but that doesn't mean I don't have big plans for the month. Newsletter subscribers get EVERYTHING this Thursday, but the rest of you will have to wait a little longer for freebies, cover reveals, and announcements😉

LAST author event of 2025 😭 I've got plenty of queer and spooky books all packed up and ready to go, along with a selection of Blind Date Bundles for The Book Purge. I don't typically attend Christmas Markets, but I couldn't say no to the Pride Christmas Market hosted by NG Pride🌈🎄See you tomorrow!

When I went to visit my mom last night, she put an insane asylum sign on the door to the room where I sleep when I stay over (so I guess that’s what she thinks of me after reading all of my books 😂)

THIS IS NOT A DRILL 😱 The Book Purge just hit over 5k raised this year for the Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue.
I'm bringing The Book Purge to at least 4 more events this year, so let's see how much more we can raise for the cats 😻

Bakka Phoenix will be carrying a selection of my titles at their table at @canconsffh.bsky.social so I can focus on The Book Purge 😍 If you get one of my books and want it signed, bring it over to my table. I highly recommend checking out Bakka Phoenix as they always have an incredible selection.

I've got another fantastic @canconsffh.bsky.social to look forward to this year 🤩 Between panels, fundraising through The Book Purge, and a little bit of behind-the-scenes work I'll be keeping busy. Good thing I got myself that caffeine pass 😉
