The sound and visuals of Cinderella stacking the cheese wheel in her third movie scratched my brain just right and I still think about it.

I want to know why every early 2000’s movie depicts the younger brother as an agenda-minded rascal with access to military-grade spyware and technology. Who is buying things for them? How does no one notice?

A few years ago, I took every single book I had ever written out of print and unpublished the digital versions. I always wondered if that was the right decision. Now that Meta is on an AI book-pirating heist, I’m sure it was.
I’m sorry for all the authors who found their original work on that list.

I have a character with lavender eyes and shell pink hair reaching the floor. It’s strung with strands of pearls, and she has pet rose finches that flutter around to help her get dressed in the morning.
P.S. This is Khalkassia, and she almost exclusively wears white wedding gowns.
THIS IS WOMAN.

South Dakota is introducing a bill (HB1239) to criminalize librarians and teachers. They will be criminally charged if young audiences check out a book that the government deems unsuitable or inappropriate.

To answer the long-standing mystery, when an author says, “His eyes darkened,” it means his pupils dilated either from lust, fear, anger, or another strong emotion. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. #booksky

For 3 years, I wrote nonstop and sold the rights to 12 novels. Over the next 6 years, I held jobs with strict hours, but wrote 9 books in my free time, all over 100k - 230k words.
Most of them (and probably all of my screenplays) will be forever shelved. But I’m really hoping 2025 is my year. ♥️
