A mediocre Mormon man commented on my recent blog post that “thankfully” only a couple hundred people saw my “sophomoric drivel.” Today’s IG stats for said post. It’s a few more than 200.

Trying my hand at dowsing rods at Sally Chase’s grave. No spirits or water detected. Or maybe my magic Mormonism DNA hasn’t kicked in yet

THE FOURTH WIFE is up on Goodreads!! This is wild!! Adding it to your GR shelves is an easy way to help out a debut author.

The Fourth Wife is officially on NetGalley, available for request! If you love Gothics, female rage, and are ready for polygamous Mormon folklore, go check it out 👀

Screaming about this cover!! The vibes are perfection!! And it’s available now to preorder.

I wrote THE FOURTH WIFE to give a voice to my silent Mormon foremothers and to share the realities of polygamy. At its heart, this is a feminist tale of female rage and discovering your own power.

It feels a little weird to share happy moments when the world is like it is, but my debut book is finally up for preorder! There’s also a BN sale this week. Preorders are critical; BN makes decisions on which books to put in stores based on preorder numbers, so I really appreciate the early support!

Presented my first academic paper at Mormon History Association today and no one booed. Success!

A Saturday with my favorite things: history, cemeteries, and bookstores.

Decided to go support a local small business for breakfast after a week of power outages. It was an excellent decision.

I finally fell asleep around 1am and we still have power but a lot of our area does not. We are on the other side of the Santa Monica Mountains so we are safe, but getting reports of places we know & love being destroyed is horrible. Praying for the firefighters & those evacuating ❤️

Think Mexican Gothic meets Sister Wives!

Our new car has been dubbed “Rita,” so every time we park the kids can say “nice parking spot, Rita” 😂 (also it’s a Beatles song so it fits on theme with our family names!)

Just finished my last book of the year! So many good reads in 2024.

The cat cannot be trusted around the Christmas tree tonight so he’s grumpily imprisoned in my room.

Every year this house gets more elaborate. This year they added pyrotechnics 🎄

Christmas carols in a minor key. This needs to be the newest holiday trend.

Grad school procrastination post. I’ve got one week to read & report on these four books. I’m equally stressed and excited.
