And that's a wrap!!! The re-write of THE DAFFODIL WITCH, the first book I ever wrote is done! It feels so weird to not have to sit down and get like 5,000 words in tonight.

Ever since getting this necklace, I have connected with so many other Arabs. As a white-passing Arab, it's hard for me to make connections with people who share my heritage, because I don't "look" Arab. This small thing has opened so many conversations, which leads to understanding, and I love that.

Happy Dickfuck day, crew.

My 20 year high school reunion was tonight, and I was actually really looking forward to going. I've been looking forward to it for months.

The event was made on Facebook, and it said 8-11 PM.

Apparently, it actually started at 5 and ends in 20 minutes and I fucking missed it.

What the fuck?

Hi, so, my book isn't technically fantasy... but fantasy-adjacent, since "pirates in a made-up version of history" doesn't have a shelf. 😂

It comes out June 2026.

Who needs a man when I have him?

😭 My first real review for A Prince Among Pirates.

ARCs aren't out yet, @suzannealbanis.bsky.social is in my writer's group and I let her finish the manuscript since they read almost the whole thing anyway.

Anyway, add my book on Goodreads, maybe:

Hi, sorry I've been quiet. I am happy to report that Binx has made a full recovery. What started as heat stroke turned into a severe adverse reaction to the anti-nausea medication the vet gave him.

In the end it cost me about $5k total, which HURT... but he is home and he is healthy!
June 30, 2025 at 10:11 PM
Binx is up and about. He is my shadow at the moment, and has eaten half a can of tuna so far. I suspect it'll be a few days before he feels totally back to normal again, but I'm happy to see him on the rebound after a scary week.
June 28, 2025 at 4:15 PM
Finally got a little something in his belly. Mostly tuna water, but he ate a little of the meat, too. 6:30 am.

We havent slept yet. But maybe soon.

My poor baby Binx is so sick. He's so, so sick. The heatwave hit him hard, and even after an overnight at the emergency vet, he is so incredibly sick. 😭

Please send him well wishes and healing thoughts. I hate seeing him suffer like this. He just keeps crying, and it's destroying me.

My son's footprint, taken on the day I lost him, with Montressor Spaceport. ♡

Sat down to do some writing.

The cats had other plans. 🥲
June 10, 2025 at 9:50 PM
It not only pulled me from a bad depression after I lost my son, but inspired me to write my book, which landed a six-figure deal with Simon & Schuster and comes out in just one year!

Last summer, I was in so much pain, I could barely walk. I got very little done in the gardens because of it.

This year, my pain is finally being managed. It's not gone by any means, but I can at least function. And with my 14 year old nephew's help, I've managed to get back into gardening.

Who needs to make reels advertising my book when they already exist?

😂 Anyway, if you like this video, add A Prince Among Pirates on GoodReads.

Excuse you, sir... I am trying to edit. 🤨
May 8, 2025 at 11:43 PM
Help, some of @featherfully.bsky.social's notes in my edit letter literally have me wheezing. "Talking like a low-class pirate makes Renard sound like an old man with no teeth"

Meanwhile this is Kit's first impression of him. I'm crying 😂
May 7, 2025 at 9:05 PM
Thanks, Jenn! 😂 It's actually the full title of the book.
May 7, 2025 at 6:22 PM
Okay, I'll play!

A PRINCE AMONG PIRATES

An entirely true account of 18th century piracy in which everything is totally made up.
- or -
How I cleverly became a pirate by accident.

Maybe add it on Goodreads? www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...
