"When your empire is built on lies, it is destined to burn." First 2 books of my adult high fantasy series are out now!
In only 100 pages, The River Has Roots told such a beautiful and poetic story I am already going to read it again this weekend (when I just read it last night).

(More thoughts in this thread)

I cleaned out my garage and found some old stories I wrote from 5th and 6th grade, so I'm making it the internet's problem by sharing these... masterpieces? with y'all.

Who needs to actually write their book series (points finger at self) when you can instead design more funny bookmarks and add them to your shop?

Anyway, I guess I'll get back to writing and not procrastinating these dang edits.... ;)

My story feels like… A tyrannical government finally getting what’s been coming to it for years in a slow burn revenge and very messy revolution. #booksky 📚💙🪐

For fans of court politics, slow burn revenge, revolution, epic battles, detailed worldbuilding, and high fantasy the way it should be.

The Psalms of Fire & Fury political fantasy series- books I & II are out now! #fantasybooks #readwomenauthors #diversifyyourbookshelf #booksky 📚💙🪐

Made more progress than I thought last week on my book! The week before, I was so busy running around the state on my mini #booktour, and my brain was not being kind to me every time I opened my computer. Curious to see how much I get done this week! #booksky 💙📚 #bookish #author #fantasybook
