Me, just vibing. Everyone else: ‘so… did your mom take Tylenol while pregnant or…?’”

I can say and spell acetaminophen at least. 🤷🏻‍♀️

A smiling woman wearing black sunglasses and red lipstick sits in the passenger seat of a car, holding up a peace sign with her left hand. She’s wearing a black tank top that reveals colorful tattoos on her chest and arm, and she’s buckled in with a seatbelt. Text on the image reads, “They told me to be myself and now everyone asks if my mom took Tylenol when she was pregnant with me.”

Some families pass down recipes or heirlooms. Mine passed down mental illness, chaos, and a dark sense of humor — plus one unforgettable summer of searching for a missing girl and learning, very up-close, how food is made.

It’s been a while. I’ve been crazy busy settling into my new job and my kids starting back to school next week and college stuff for my oldest. Whew. Anyway, met Lee from The Funeral Portrait after a show last night in Madison, WI w/ Dayseeker, Kim Dracula, and Ice Nine Kills. It was rad!

The sky was nostalgic, heat heavy on skin, the moon low enough to eavesdrop. It was reminiscent of kiss-swollen lips and tangled hair from backseat makeouts; secret cigarettes and fast drives. The end of something wild—or the start of something reckless.

I started my new job this week - it’s truly incredible what a difference having a hands on and engaged boss makes in morale and confidence! I love it! Learning so many new things and truly looking forward to each day. Less time for writing though, but I’m okay with it for now. #writersky #authorsky

Writing doesn’t wait for the perfect moment. I do it between emails, football games, and laundry I forgot in the washer. No balance: just stubborn momentum and messy joy.

I used to wait until I felt “ready.” Polished. Perfect. Safe.
Spoiler: that day never came.

The Myth of Ready | Danielle Larson
I used to think the fear of rejection would kill me.Not in a dramatic way, but in the slow, suffocating way that makes your world shrink smaller and smaller until it feels “safe.”Until there’s no risk...

After a devastating injury ends her competitive career, Chloé LaFleur seeks solace and purpose in the world of show skating. She meets Freja Lindholm, who, despite their differences, might be exactly what Chloé needs.

In revisions, querying later this summer.

#BluePit 📖 #R #A #LGBT #WIP #Q
Intro page for agents guide to THE ICE BETWEEN US a sapphic figure skating romance novel Pitch for THE ICE BETWEEN US Chloé LaFleur is one of the best women’s figure skaters in the world. Or she was, until a devastating injury ended her competitive career. Adrift without skating (and after being dumped by her girlfriend), Chloé signs on to do the one thing she swore she’d never do: show skating. Freja Lindholm is the show’s most experienced skater, but show life has grown tiring. She’s ready to hang up her skates when this newcomer arrives. Freja is forced to get the former Olympian up to speed show skating world, giving her new purpose. When fate throws the two together as roommates, they clash. But before long, the ice between them begins to melt, and it might just be that they’re both exactly who the other one needs. Comps for THE ICE BETWEEN US • Unsteady by Peyton Corinne • Wake Up Nat & Darcy by Kate Cochran • Book Lovers by Emily Henry Excerpt from THE ICE BETWEEN US “And this must be the great Chloé LaFleur you're always raving about. I hear the Golden Girl is joining our cast next season." "Bronze," Chloé says, tersely. I shift my body in her direction and turn my gaze downward. She's shorter than I expected, but even I have to admit that she's quite beautiful, even in ill-fitting clothes with no makeup on. I can see why, even beyond her skating, they wanted her for our cast. "What's that?" "I won bronze in Beijing, not gold. And I'm proud of it." The humility is surprising. I expected her to have an ego, but immediately she's deflecting. Still, I'm not buying it.
