I had *so* much fun last night at a local book event for @susanleewrites.bsky.social, with the fabulous @christinalauren.bsky.social and Ali Hazelwood!

The best part? When they gave my client @kresleycole.bsky.social a shoutout toward the end for being one of the genre greats (which she is!). 😍🥰🤍

After a month of rest and relaxation and ZERO productivity, I'm back to work and excited about all the fabulous projects on my *very* full fall schedule. This week I'm editing a women's fiction short story and a queer urban fantasy novel. Let's do this!

One month later, Snoopy is complete! Definitely more tricky than the other Wooble kits I’ve done—those arms were *not* fun—but the end result is my favorite. 🤍

So excited to see Abby Jimenez’s Nadia Cakes with an item at the Minnesota State Fair this summer!
Photo of a cup of layered cakes with whipped cream and a cherry on top, with the caption: “Land of 10,000 Cakes. A Bridgeman's Marble Sundae of Butter Brittle Ice Cream layered in a cup with a trio of mini Nadia Cupcakes - Creme Brulee, Loaded Pistachio and Chocolate Bliss. Topped with whipped cream and a cherry.” Screenshot of a Facebook post from Nadia Cakes with the following text: “Every year, Minnesotans anxiously await the list of new foods that will be featured at the Minnesota State Fair. They build their lists and plan their trips based on the newest foods they have to try. Well guess what you can add to your list this year? NADIA CAKES AT THE GREAT MN GET TOGETHER!! We are incredibly excited to FINALLY share that Nadia Cakes teamed up with MN's own Bridgeman's Ice Cream for the "Land of 10,000 Cakes"! This marble sundae features three layers of Nadia Cakes cupcakes - chocolate bliss, loaded pistachio and crème brûlée - paired perfectly with Bridgeman's amazing Butter Brittle ice cream! We are so excited to have been asked to be a part of this, and grateful to Bridgeman's for being great partners in the process! Head to Bridgeman's at the MN State Fair for this amazing treat you won't want to miss!”

Work has been BUSY, so my Snoopy project has taken a back seat for a few weeks. But I’m hoping to finish him up soon!
