His & Hers was so healing 🖤🔪
A mini series starring Jon Bernthal and Tessa Thompson?! I don’t even need to know the plot (it’s a romantic thriller, based on the Alice Feeney novel). It’s so good. Mike and I are four episodes in. Anybody else watching His & Hers on Netflix?

Winter… is not my favorite. Even my fingernails hurt (thanks, lupus), and the season goes cold and slow. Growth is slow, too, though, and while it’s frosty and crystalline outside, there’s lots happening deep inside the earth, in the roots below.

❄️ What are some things you love about winter?

Did not realize my author website is a hot mess! (I was gonna say "was," but...) 😅

Updated some pages and links, and added some new stuff, too. I've still got some flu all up in me, so that's all the spoons for me today.

Trying to rally for tonight's Whatnot, no promises though. 💋

When he gets out of prison after 20 years, there’s only one person he can go home to. First he has to find her. Then he better hope she’ll forgive him.

My hero in A Disturbing Prospect, Cliff, is the opposite of Olivia. He’s a bit older, more world weary. She reminds him how to have fun. For a moment before everything pops off, it really seems like these two are winning life.

This is a dark romance, though, so ofc I can’t let them be happy (yet)!

The heroine in A Disturbing Prospect, Olivia, came to me first. She really brought the energy. Young, fresh on the page Olivia is very different from who she grows into by the end of the series. Some readers think she’s too much—too sexual, specifically. I guess it’s offensive for her to like dick.

How was your Halloween weekend?

I did a little signing on Saturday and met some new readers, and Mike and I binged the 28 Days Later trilogy. (It has its issues but I absolutely love the touch her and die vibes in Days!)

I hope you’re having a great Monday!

I wrote A Disturbing Prospect in like a perfect storm. I’d just gone through trauma-centered therapy and I was processing all this pain. Not just my own, because I’m unfortunately not the only rape survivor I know. And “Disturbing” poured out of me in two weeks. It was my revenge for all of us.

I try to hide it, but it comes out anyway. I’m Frankenstein’s monster, and Olivia is the stitches holding me together.

Happy Halloween! 🎃
