I officially write New Adult, but you can leave my books around without blushing. Sometimes people think ‘clean’ means ‘sanctimonious’. Nah bruh. I don’t need f-bombs — truth is the real nitroglycerin.

In the kingdom of sleep, the baby sun is wrapped in the clouds of future purpose. The men and women, the big and little animals, and children dream in the black soils, while the aged draw fantastic geoglyphs. No one is troubled by want or #grief. Most tarry there half a lifetime.

Wore a wig to a costume party. It was interesting how differently people treated me. Everyone said I should always wear it because it made me look younger. Like, they don’t care if it’s fake so long as you give them the fantasy.

If you're boycotting AMZ, but still want to buy/read books: please, have a look at whether the relevant big publisher/small press/indie author sells direct

This month and last is hitting everyone's book sales hard, and all of us - trad, small press & indie alike - still need to pay our bills :)
