Book ✌️ is officially in the inboxes of my first beta readers, and I have a migraine.

Stared at my manuscript for 8 hours today and now I forget how to do anything else.

Got my copy of my friend's debut indie novel, "Shadow of Lilith." Stevie put so much work into this book, and the final product is BEAUTIFUL. steviehoslerwrites.myshopify.com

Happy Halloween from me and my 8yo, who insisted we take the picture like this. 🎃

I've passed 65K words in my second novel, which I'll call OMKI... or TMKI. I'm still working on the title 😉 This is a big milestone for me, because #GraceAndJo was right around 65K when I queried it. I've written more than 141K words this year. #amwriting #publishing

Making important notes on my novel this morning. #amwriting #writingcommunity

Do you think when John Mayer sang “Waiting on the World to Change” he imagined how bad it could get?

New office set-up! Traded a small L-shaped desk for a big ass executive one. Now I can stare at my inspiration board while I write and have space to set out notes!

I got cover mock ups this morning for #GraceAndJo and they were even better than I imagined. 🥹

I cannot wait for this book to be out in the world next year so I can share it with you!

I've discovered my dream narrator for my humour-filled cozy mystery, so if you need me, I'll be manifesting. 💫

I just heard an audiobook say "bougainvillea" for the first time, and MAN am I happy that I didn't ever attempt to say it the way I thought it was pronounced.

My debut novel, “Grace & Jo Have Never Solved a Murder,” in GIFs! What do they mean, and how do they all fit together? Find out fall 2026!

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Spent a long weekend at the #CrookedOakLodge in Deep Creek! 😍

Yes, this WOULD be the perfect deck view for a writing retreat, but on this particular trip, we had 12 adults and 18 kids with us. 🤪

Tomorrow… back to work!
