Today is the last chance to back ETHOS by the Arcanist Guild on Kickstarter! We've unlocked a short story bundle and four pieces of art. Can we reach the next stretch goal to secure a piece for each novelette?

Hopefully you caught Tuesday's announcement for an upcoming anthology I'm part of: ETHOS. We are running a Kickstarter campaign for a deluxe edition complete with illustrations, and I'm thrilled to show off the piece for my story!

Been quiet on the publishing front. Almost a year without a book, which is near-death for an indie author, but who’s counting?
Don’t worry, I won’t leave you hanging for long. Big news coming later this month.
What’s the project? When?
Stay tuned.

One horn of mead in, three character deaths mapped, and a betrayal I didn’t see coming.
Yes, I’m writing it.
No, you can’t read it.

Still here. Vanished abruptly, as one does when they’re overwhelmed, mildly dramatic, and allergic to consistency.
Happy to announce that I revised one sentence today.
Applaud accordingly.

From dandelion fuzz to a living, breathing world.
2 novels. 2 novellas. 1 short story.
So much joy. So much doubt.
But I’m still here. Still writing. Still chasing the spark.
Thank you for reading.
The story's just getting started.

I'm working on rewriting my internal narratives, so something I've been focusing on this past week is reframing reviews. This looks like celebrating EVERY single review, no matter the rating, because it means someone took the time to READ MY F*CKING BOOK.

I’ve been quiet. Close to burnout.
Spent the past weeks deep in rewrites, wondering if the stories still mattered. Then a former Big Five editor critiqued my first page aloud at a conference and said the voice landed. No suggested revisions.
Just keep swimming. You never know.

I owe everything to salt and wind and pine. To tides that never begged forgiveness. To earth that rose up to cradle me when nothing else would. I write ruin and resilience, but it’s the wild that taught me both.

Taking a break from socials.
Life’s been rough, I’m behind on deadlines, and honestly? I’m just burnt out.
I’ll be off for a week or two to reset and recharge. Thanks for understanding.
Until next time.

I write from the liminal places,
where the veil is thin and the stories bleed.
I want the awards.
The eyes. The echo.
But not if I have to write what sells
instead of what ignites me.
What scars.
Give me broken characters, truths that cut deep, and endings that haunt.
where the veil is thin and the stories bleed.

She’s a 4.48 on Goodreads but still writes emotionally wrecked characters, cries over scenes she hasn’t written yet, and drinks mead from a horn for “research.”

deep in revisions.
slow. bleeding. full of trench rot.
a sister sworn to protect.
another drawn to the dark.
the trench is spreading.
so is the corruption.
whatever’s buried down there wants out.
