Hi! I’m a writer (scifi, fantasy, detective thrillers) and an editor. I love TMNT, mac & cheese, and fuzzy socks!
Only 3 weeks left until The Makers comes out! a YA scifi thriller. Pre-order so you don’t forget! (Link in comments)
The Makers determine who becomes a Target for elimination. But you have to kill in order to stay alive.

Had a blast at the (very warm) Kenosha Book Fest yesterday. I only *mostly* melted, but it was lovely to meet other #authors #readers. And James Whitemore there in his HOLLOW T-shirt!
Special shout out to Reggie for all your “stronk” help, engaging company, and of course, ice cold water! 🤣🤣

My #books are in another bookstore!
Anyone in the Kenosha, WI area, check out Studio Moonfall! Besides my stuff, they represent indie and #localauthors, so you should definitely check it out and show your book-love support!
This is me with the fantastic owner (and author/artist), Donovan Scherer.

Just had a dream where I brought an alarm clock to my mom and said, “It won’t shut off, like when I have a dream, but it’s really broken haha!”
Only to realize after I threw it across the room to break it that it was STILL GOING. I turned to my mom and said, “Aw crap, this IS the alarm dream!” 🤣🤣

I had a picture sent to me from JR who went to The Dead Deads concert. He said his face makeup from the concert reminded him of the eye makeup on my IDENTITY book cover! 🤣🤣

Realizing as a Pantser I may have to go back and “fix” things once the book is written, which can be a LOT of work, but I love the surprise ending more than filling in the “in betweens” if I’ve plotted out the #book.
Have you other #writers out there figured out what works best for you?

Having trouble deciding if my upcoming #book, THE MAKERS, is actually YA…
The main character is 16, but he is part of a species designed to be #assassins, so there are definitely some kills in the story.
Do I make it “adult” even though he’s a teen?

Do you have a #movie that you were WAY too young to handle when you finally saw it, even though later it didn’t seem so bad?
Mine was Edward Scissorhands. When he accidentally cut up that boy’s face? I had nightmares.
