Heading into the query trenches after being self-represented for five traditionally published books...

Anyone have an agent who's wild about LGBTQ+ literary thrillers?? 😅

I've been hiding since June revising one novel for publication, finishing another novel, and sketching out my latest novel. I miss my writer friends!

So I'm THRILLED to be reading with @caitlincowan.bsky.social as she tours with her new book 😍

Come say hi on 2/15 at @patchoulijoes.bsky.social

I'm thrilled to be leading a 12-month poetry manuscript incubator with the indie MFA program at Writing Workshops starting in March!

Please share with friends, family, & students who're interested in a nurturing community of writers!

Being compared to a "cool older sister" as a professor is the highest praise I've ever received as an educator.

One more day in the semester!

I've had so much fun with my poetry students at UT Dallas this fall! And I can't wait to do it all again in the spring ❤️

I'm looking for two to three beta readers for my recently completed novel.

The book is an upmarket thriller that takes place in the aftermath of a serial stalker's murder, as the three women closest to the crime are haunted by ghosts of their past.

DM me 🙂

It was so, so cool to have a mini family reunion with several YesYes Books authors at AWP. Planets aligned and we managed to get this photo featuring several of us at once with some of our books 📚

I hope to hug, read, and laugh with all of them next year at AWP 25 in LA!

Having a blast at AWP 24...making a million new best friends as I talk on panels, read, sign books, and talk shop in the dizzy joy of this convention 😊

I cant wait to share the stage with SO many amazing poets tonight at my first event for AWP24!

If you're in KC for AWP, come out to Charlotte Street Theater to hang out, hug, bump elbows, and squeal excitedly with us.

I'll be there from 6-8pm ❤

Eeee! My schedule for AWP 2024! I can't wait to hug, bump elbows, and enthusiastically wave to each and every one of y'all who's attending.

Writer friends, I'd LOVE to see you at any of these events. And please let me know where I can find you, too. What cool stuff are y'all up to in Kansas City??

We recently moved from Dallas to the woods of East Texas & I discovered today that my son's school district transports the kids via off-road pickups when the weather's bad...

Rural Texas ftw 🌲

A rotten egg (realized too late) destroyed the savory pies for our Yule meal, but just look at that badass Monkey Bread! 🐒
