Only 7 days until The Gossip and The Guest is available at most retailers! But if you can't wait any longer to see how Isabella handles being dropped among strangers or how Edmund approaches the handsome man from the neighboring estate that keeps popping up, you can get it today!

Not to worry, he took one look at my swollen face and has been giggling uncontrollably for the last five minutes
Had an extremely disappointing visit to the dentist and sobbed when I got home (really really abnormal for me). Have teared up two subsequent times when I informed different cats that "they took one of my teef". Very excited to see what happens when my partner gets home 🙃

Just spent 30 minutes combing through 3 email accounts/drives to look for a secret project I started in Sept of last year. You know why I couldn't find it? I named it something stupid to keep it secret
From myself????? No one else has access to my email 🙃

My current WIP is a Christmas anthology following all five couples The Steer Queer Series will have introduced by October 2026. I'm realizing I need to finish the first draft by the end of the year or I'm risking being stuck in Christmas forever 😂

Word to the wise(r than me):
If you make a homemade syrup, try it *before* you make a whole latte for work
This tastes like I just dumped a handful of sugar into oat milk and added a pinch of cinnamon and a shot
And also there's apple pieces in it

There's something deeply right about listening to Chappell Roan while dressed as a clown from the 30's

"They want to sell us hell and have us pay for it" will be bouncing around my skull for forever
Thei wante us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe, and Broadway to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop makinge a living. Thei want to sell us hell and have us pay for it.

It's been both, for sure. I set a date for the release of The Gossip and The Guest (11-20👀) and set up ARCs for the first time ever (available now!) But the uploading, formatting, correcting cycle is always tough and this time I was sick and juggling a kitten 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm Californian and my ballot is due soon! I'm planning on spending Halloween morning researching the issues and sharing that information with my entire family so we can turn them in in one shot!
This is like the *one* thing you HAVE to do
GET OUT AND VOTE
IF YOU DIDN'T LEARN FROM TRUMP GETTING VOTED IN THE FIRST *OR* SECOND TIME
DON'T ASSUME
GO VOTE
i hate to be that bitch, but my sources are telling me this early voting data has gotten Zohran's people rightly spooked and y'all better stop assuming this one's in the bag. GOTV

#writingcommunity If you have a project on the horizon, and you know there's a huge plot hole you have to fix, do you wait to begin until it's patched or do you figure it out along with the characters? I'm curious (but also staring down picking an option 😂)

Speaking of donating, I'm thrilled that we did raise enough money for my friend M to get her family into a new, cheaper apartment!

I'm keeping the fundraiser open because I'm worried the government shutdown will affect their November SNAP benefits and I want M to be able to feed her kids next month

Liberals when candidates defend trans people: "We can't do this, it's too unpopular."

Liberals when candidates have a nazi ss tattoo: "it's ok, not all candidates are perfect."

Edmund, an mc in my upcoming novel The Gossip and The Guest, has a huge crush on this man he sees at a tavern. But there are two problems:

1. The man keeps talking to him but Edmund can't find the right moment to tell him he's Deaf
2. It's 1814

But he's sooo cute! 📚💙

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.
