I feel like I should go through all the absurdities of putting out this book on my blog. You can make a book yourself, I promise. I have at least one hundred "final final final for real this time" files for my cover, but it is real, and it is mine

i am glad i'm working on everything early because i saw my proof this morning from IngramSpark had a giant "RESTORED" on the title page because I had to work from a previous file when my formatting program crashed

Holy shit. I cannot overstate how touched I am to be featured on this list, and with such incredible fellow authors? Go check out the list and pick up any books on there you haven't read; you won't be disappointed.

I want it on the record of history that artists realized the harm immediately and were (and continue to be) loud bitches trying to stop the idiots who are out of their minds.
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

there's so much disrespect of romance writers and romance readers baked into the idea that AI-driven production of novels is 'better'. as if writing romance isn't skillful, hard and joyous work. as if romance readers aren't discerning, loyal and savvy.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

the idea that making art is embarrassing if you don't do it well enough to make a career out of it is an objectively harmful and toxic brainworm.
An opinion I pretty firmly hold is that everyone should make a song, paint a painting, act in something, and write a book even if all of those things end up being objectively terrible

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

I really really hate learning new tools but oh my god everytime i open Word there's some brand new kind of bullshit distracting me from my work and I think I might have to switch to libreoffice and just commit to learning something new.

The inner peace that comes from seeing a bad take from someone you don't know and blocking them without looking into the rest of their deal cannot be overstated. I don't know you, and now i never have to 💕

One of the projects I am very excited about in 2026 is the anthology, ANIMAL NOIR from Little Key Press.
Born out of a silly Discord discussion about killer geese, a bunch of authors decided to write stories about anthromophic animals in the same city setting, New Growl.
Cover reveal below!
