Hi, new followers. Just an FYI: I don't follow cis, straight men unless I know you personally.
Why…WHY did I offer to do writing workshops at our new local indie bookstore???

Five weeks until I can put weight on my broken ankle! Huzzah!

Book Witch, my novel set in October, was supposed to be out in time for this Halloween. My heart aches. I know I did the right thing by pulling it, though.

I didn't think I'd made any sales, so it wasn't a big deal. Then, people told me they bought the book. Or, they didn't get their preorder. More and more people came forward. THEN I saw the royalty statement I finally demanded.

I have my rights back. I want my money too.

It’s Monday, October 20, & I STILL HAVEN’T RECEIVED MY ROYALTIES.

Midnight Meadow, PAY YOUR AUTHORS AND STAFF!

Well, fuq. This writing for publication thing is beyond exhausting. I continue my hiatus.
Baker & Taylor appears to be shutting down. A post on the r/libraries subreddit from an employee of B&T breaks the news and there appear to be other employees in the comments confirming the situation.

“You need to slow down & take a break,” they said. My ankle replied, “ok. How about breaks in two places?”

Got a couple of skills checked off at roller derby tonight.
Came home & got surprised by an opossum. Nearly fell over.

It's all about balance.
Literally.

I'm a nice person...until I'm not. Especially when it comes to money owed to me, & the files for MY books returned.

Hmm…maybe I’ll post my “ghost as a wing woman” Gen X romance…
#GhostPit will be happening October 30, 2025!

Artists are laborers, too. They often work long hours & put strain on their bodies (& minds), often to be treated like they don't have jobs. They do.

WE do.

I celebrated my last weekend off for a while with relaxing, visiting, and a motorcycle ride. My stress is gone & I’m ready for what’s to come.

I'm a nice person until I'm not. I don't really want to be not nice, but some things may require it soon.

Everything hurts, & I have a bruise on my arm. I LOVE ROLLER DERBY! It's a great release from all the drama.
August 22, 2025 at 3:38 PM
Tomorrow I get to go watch roller derby, & I'm incredibly excited about it!

When Libromancer Aurora’s ex girlfriend returns, she throws Aurora into a battle with a rival coven that might destroy the young witch’s entire world-even her own life. #QueerPit #YA
