This November the Lurker comes for you!

In my recently published #novella, I have a segment about how the true lesson of #Thanksgiving is that all great writers doubt themselves at some point. It was probably the most divisive chapter when I was getting critique on "The Lurker."

"The Lurker" is finally published! It's been a long road and my next project is something completely different, but for now the Lurker has retreated to my basement. 🍊

So, my first published work releases tomorrow and essentially, any one will be able to read about just how unhinged I actually am for the low price of three dollars. 🤣

My debut novella, which is an absolutely unhinged parable about how to write a first draft, comes out this Friday!

Do you ever wish someone would just force you to start writing? Welcome to the basement. 😈

Self promo is my bane; it makes me feel like an immense tit when I post stuff about my writing (thanks to upbringing - never blow your own horn), but it is increasingly apparent that all it means is that I'm utterly invisible as a writer...

So, anyway.

I have books and stories out there.

Right now, "The Lurker" has a perfect 5 star rating on Goodreads with *checks notes* one review.

Pre-order this rare *perfect* book while it's still perfect.

I have "backwards" in an untitled project where my MC turns a dark fae into a bunny 🐇 in the hopes that he'll give up on his romantic kidnapping goals. (also this is unedited #nanowrimo so be kind)

#WIPSnips from my #nanowrimo project. I cannot resist putting "tries to seduce by offering a library" into a fantasy romance. ❤️

Gearing up to write a sad scene where MC feels hopeless and pushes one of the love interests away.

Writing depressing things always kind of depresses me and I know I'm not alone in that. I just get really into my own story...which is why I write happy endings.

Shout out to the guy at the grocery store who heard me tell my toddler she shouldn't be asking for "blue milk" because I haven't showed her Star Wars yet, and actually laughed at my joke. 🤣

#TheLurker makes an excellent Xmas gift for:

📖 Aspiring authors
📖 People in the throes of rough drafting
📖 That one friend who told you their incredible story idea four years ago, but have yet to write anything and you want to be a bit passive aggressive about it.

My thought process when I was coming up with my #nanowrimo project this year: What if Cinderella's fairy god mother was a dark fae shadow daddy? Yeah, totally finally writing some genre loyal dark romance...okay, but what if when they first met he tricked her by transforming into a rabbit... 1/2

Hey, so if we meet at an audio drama event and we exchange audio drama business cards, that's not an invitation to add me to your audio drama mailing list. I DO NOT WANT TO BE ON YOUR MAILING LIST.

I know I'm not the only one on here who has had #Writesky community-looking follows with a near immediate unfollow. Yesterday, the same account followed me in the morning and then followed me again in the evening (with zero interaction on my end).

Why is self-publishing simultaneously extremely exciting and extremely anxiety inducing?

I swear I'm swinging from one extreme to the other!

My upcoming debut #novella "The Lurker" ( books2read.com/u/bwJrGZ ) isn't written to market; in fact I wrote most of it for myself and then I shared some of the jokes with writing buds. It was because some people really connected with it that I decided to make it something to finish. 1/4
