It didn’t take long for fiction to make them self-aware. 🤖

📘 #LiteraryFunFact: The first “cliffhanger” came from Thomas Hardy’s 𝘈 𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘌𝘺𝘦𝘴 (1873), where the hero literally hangs from a cliff.

Some endings just grab you. 😉

I’m working on something new — and personal.

My first nonfiction project is underway: a reflection on life lessons I’ve picked up from hard circumstances and wonderful people.

Right now I’m deep in memory-mapping and note-sorting. It’s messy. And kind of amazing.

Thank you for being part of my author journey this year!

I’d love to know — which of my characters stuck with you the most? (Or which book?) 💬📚

Love political intrigue, forbidden love, and galaxy-spanning stakes? My Earth Immortal series delivers all that + space pirates.

3 novels & a novella, full of action, drama, and badass women.

Start with Gaia Rising, where the battle for the Black Throne begins. 🌌

I rarely re-read books — there are just too many stories I haven’t discovered yet. But I’m always curious about readers who do.

Do you have a book you revisit every autumn? What makes it worth the re-read? 🍂📚

Drop your favorite below — I’d love to hear!

📘 #LiteraryFunFact: “The Raven” (1845) made Edgar Allan Poe famous overnight—yet he was paid only $9 to $15.

Fame came swiftly, fortune nevermore.

Why did Edgar Allan Poe keep his old wallpaper? Because every time he tried to change it, the raven said, “Nevermore.”

📘 #LiteraryFunFact: Sense and Sensibility (1811) was published anonymously as “By a Lady.”

Jane Austen’s words introduced her long before her name did.
