remember that one time I wrote & published a 4-book contemporary fantasy drama series about cat shifters?

I’m Sam. My current WIP is a sapphic YA paranormal romance novel.
The MCs (Miranda, Rachel, & Tamber) have NO IDEA how magic works. tBaC is essentially set in the real world, so they didn’t believe magic was real until Miranda was cursed(?) and turned into a creepypasta monster(?). 😅

The ACLU wants to hear from any families with kids or anyone who was significantly impacted by the use of chemical munitions at yesterday’s protest. Please email my office so we can help connect you with their legal team.

It’s fine for a story to be fairly fast-paced in the beginning but slow down a bit during the middle, right? 🤔

I’m just watching what they’re doing and writing it down. Like a creepy observer.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
When you write a scene with your character, are you the director overseeing their actions, or are you playing the part of one or more characters? Something else?
Does that change depending on the circumstances?

If you’re living in frozen conditions right now, post the must summery picture in your photo library.
tbh, my area is experiencing unusually *warm* conditions for this time of year, but I wanted to share a tropical beach picture 😅

drafting my new WIP has been easier than I anticipated, and I’m having fun writing whatever chaotic nonsense pops into my head, but I imagine I’ll hit a wall eventually. lol

If I don’t make a sale in the next few days, my 2 year “at least one sale every month” streak will end.
The Sidetracked characters helped me through some tough times in my life. It would be cool to one day hear that reading their story has done the same for someone else.
