I'm off to a wedding where I will happily be attending as a guest and not having to worry about officiating or groomsmen duties this time.
Did you know you can help fund my future wedding by buying my books?

I wrote 2,209 words in Project Valentine today and did a little planning for the story.
Changed the music I was listening to while writing as I thought it was too serious and now I have introduced a short, plump Italian man to the story.
What a day! #amwriting

A payphone still hummed in the sleet,
Its dial tone a pulse out of beat.
“History rings,”
The old porter sings,
“For ghosts with no fares and cold feet.”

Happy N7 Day everyone!
Happy #N7Day!
From the beginning I've said that Mass Effect has been a huge inspiration for my writing. I recently started a new playthrough of the games and having written two books now, it was a surreal experience to see how much of an impact these stories have had on me.
Thank you BioWare.

Day 2's prompt for #SciFiMonth25 is "Previously on Sci-Fi Month"
I didn't read any sci-fi during November of last year. Path of Deceit is the last sci-fi book that I have read. Finished it up earlier this year and I really enjoyed it!

Day 1's prompt for #SciFiMonth25 is "Put on Your Suits (TBR)"
One book on my TBR is Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I want to read it before the movie comes out next year.

October 2025 was a fantastic month! It had some great personal news as well as writing progress!
In my personal life, I got the great news that I never have to see a toxic individual ever again! I also solidified financial and personal plans for what I want to do by September of next year. 🧵
