I think I've been pranked. Yesterday I got a package and I assumed it was one of my preorders coming in. Nope! It was a single salad fork, no note, that I absolutely did not order even though it was addressed to me.

...huh?
My hand holding a small salad fork. The label attached to it says it's from At Home and costs $1.79

Timeline cleanse: look at this collage of Billy Bobcat
Four photos: Billy with two pillows that look like him and his brother Pebbles, Billy on a leash in the snow, Billy sniffing a Lego rose, and Billy and Jolene the standard poodle snuggling on the couch.

A screenshot of a text conversation. My dad says, "Drake is not a good person." I respond, "Preach."

Already talked about this a bit ago on insta, but I finished a really intense round of edits on CRESCENDO a week or so ago and I'm happy with where it ended up. Hopefully horromance is ready to have its heyday! I love these musical dorks 🎶🐜🖤
A moodboard depicting a spiderweb, two drum majors with a woodsy background, the rocky insides of a cave with a single beam of sunlight breaking in, a row of mellophones in the grass, pale hands playing a piano, sun rays coming through a hallway with pretty Gothic architecture, a barren strip of land between trees in the mountains showing an asbestos mining operation, and a red imported fire ant holding a white thing. A playlist inspired by CRESCENDO with some pictures: a marching band on a football field, a sunrise over the wooded Appalachian mountains, a book of sheet music, a fire ant head, and a white woman in her twenties on a bike. The songs are labour by Paris Paloma, First Light by Hozier, Six Consolations by Franz Liszt, That Unwanted Animal by The Amazing Devil, and You asked for this by Halsey

I've never seen more than a half inch of snow before, this rules 😭
My parti poodle Jolene standing in the snow, attentive. Snow dusts her black head and back. Snow sits heaped on a black solar garden light. Snow on the crepe myrtle and sweet gum trees in my backyard, as well as my birdbath. There's around an inch and a half of it. My cat Billy Bobcat on a leash out in the snow, partially under a snowy bush. He's a standard issue cat, gray and striped, but he's the cutest SIC in all of existence. He has some snow on his head.

Sometimes you convince (it wasn't hard) your fiancé to buy Lego so you get the free little promo set 😌
A little library Lego set with a bookshelf, a ladder, a reader in a chair with a book, and some miscellaneous office effects. It's sitting on one of my bookshelf, which displays titles such as The Raven Cycle, The Dreamer Trilogy, The Scholomance, Ring Shout, and What Feasts at Night

I took a pretty cool lil trip! Hiked around 70 miles, went from the alpine-esque mountains surrounding Salt Lake City to the rocky desert of Arches to the orchards of Capitol Reef to the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon and finished it up by clinging to chains in Zion. Exhausted, back at work, but happy 😌🚶🏽‍♀️

Hello greener (or bluer I guess) pastures! I'm KT and I write fantasy and horror for adults and young adults. Today I finished the first draft of an adult contemporary horror/romance with a musical twist, and my current YA novel is a dark fantasy about a family missing in a vengeful forest.
A moodboard with a black flower on a book of sheet music, a waterfall in a forest, a row of marching band members with mellophones at their sides, a misty tree-clad mountainside, a nest of dozens of spiders, a glass bottle of holy water, a marching band in a triangle formation on the field, and an abandoned mine entrance. The center reads, "What happened to Walter Green?" A moodboard with the picture of an ax hitting a tree, a hand reaching out of bushes, a misty mountainside, a collection of glass bottles, blood hitting water, a forest in the fading light, crisscrossing roots, and an overgrown factory. The quote in the middle reads, "She would not make it good or whole, but she would make it."
