This dog and I rocked the 9 Mile Garden pop up market in St. Louis. It was a blast.

I’m not a fan of constant rain and chilliness especially in May but the plants and green stuff love it, so I guess it’s worth it.

I’m recovering from a weather induced migraine today. I needed a pick-me-up and this happened.

Let the Monsters Stay — a personal reflection on identity, horror, queerness, and becoming the butch monster I was meant to be.
About growing up afraid of yourself—and learning to build something softer from the fear.

Replaying BG3 as the butchiest half orc is hilarious. Her love interest is Lae'zel, who she subdued in their hot little encounter. Protector of the small, defeater of bullies, and can have a sharp tongue, sorry, Gale. It's not you. She just doesn't like guys or magic!

My homebrew ttrpg campaign Tales of the Retro ‘Verse is set in the same time, ‘80’s and place as Strawberries, Secrets, and Werewolves, my book.
Do your streams ever cross, writers? (Yes that’s a ghostbuster reference and I’m that old.

I’m a case manager by day and a queer cozy fiction writer by night.
Both jobs involve chasing people down and wondering where the last hour went.
This week’s been full of finding baby clothes and maybe a little werewolf romance on the side.

Wrote a thing about beer, trauma, and monsters that want hugs not pitchforks.
It’s not a metaphor. It’s my blog.
🐺✨ Cozy horror. Queer healing. Found family with fangs.

Savannah a hardened werewolf turned reluctant camp owner teams up with Luna, an ex-lawyer chasing a fresh start, and together they uncover a sinister secret beneath a toxic lagoon that forces them to confront their pasts, protect their community, and possibly ignite an unexpected romance
