"Piper wasn’t naive. Waitressing to pay the bills wouldn’t hurt her acting career. But reality TV? That felt like a different beast altogether."

“Hi everybody! It’s my birthday!” A woman in a pink sweatsuit walks into the train station waiting room. A guy looks up from “The Economist” and says “Happy Birthday!” Sometimes train travel is snuggly that way.

Traditional publishing mostly because there was a publisher I wanted to work with. #AskAnAuthor
1️⃣3️⃣ Did you choose traditional publishing, self-publishing, or hybrid? Why?

I am now answering questions on r/cooking straight out of research for my novel. This is the definition of “Knowing enough to be dangerous.”

Just going parallel with my regular career. I’d love to see moderate success at both.
I'm late to #pretendpanel cos I stayed out til 9pm with my 5yo in Wellington, playing with the Bucket Fountain. If you don't know it, look it up, it's a wonder of the world 😅

January 30th: What do you see in the future for your writing career?

#queerwriters Saturday: Check in Day!

Very little. I’m at a con and talked my mailing list up to people there but haven’t been able to focus. Right back to it tomorrow though.

30s+ queer femme, who wants to feel good and think a little. Fond of spice. Bonus points for knowing sufficient American culture and romance tropes to get my jokes. Basically @guardianrock.bsky.social
Let's talk marketing for a bit.

So often we'd love our books to appeal to everyone, but they say it's better to write with a certain audience in mind.

Today on #pretendpanel, I'm asking...

January 23rd: Who do you see as your ideal reader?

The draft I just finished is about crafting the love you need for who you are, no matter society’s expectations. The one due out in March is about finding love in a situation that’s beneath you and a person more complicated than they seemed.
Hello #pretendpanel, how are we feeling today?

January 24th: What do you want your readers to take away from this book/story/WIP?

I’ve seen skeets about South Korea declaring martial law and I’ve seen one skeet about one lady having to reschedule a minor surgery because the hospitals are preparing. I know what hit harder. So there was my writing lesson for today.
