Accidental dystopian author writing fiction with teeth. A Ward of the State is out now.

What if the state owned your future?

📘 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3FSD7DL
For years, I’ve held onto a toaster from my grandmother’s kitchen. I’ve never used it. I’ve never let it go.

This week, I finally asked why.

It’s not really about the toaster. It’s about memory, identity, and the weight of objects we’ve outgrown.

It exists and it doesn’t. You keep it, but you don’t know why.

This week: Thin Blue Lines

The test didn’t change her life.
The ultrasound did.

Once they confirmed the heartbeat, the system flagged her. Now she’s just a host—because in Wisconsin, the fetus is the citizen.

Sam grew up in a quiet neighborhood in Mequon, just north of Milwaukee. The house on Crescent Hill sat at the edge of a small lake, tucked into one of those neighborhoods where the lawns are always mowed, the mailboxes all match, and the HOA has opinions about everything.

Every morning, we feed the squirrels and the birds. And, every morning the grackles beat the squirrels to the pile of squirrel food and strut around the backyard like they own it.

Poor squirrels.

I experimented with letting go of time last week.

No rigid schedule. No alarms. Just flow, pizza, and quiet productivity.

It’s wild how freeing it is to stop checking the clock.

Just poking through my files and found this PSA. A friend of mine wrote it for me when I was struggling with The Fatherhood Mandate.

Sam's reaction: Sam turned away in disgust. What the fuck? An entire commercial that glamorized forcing people into parenthood? And people believed it?

My mom’s advice for this series was simple: Never wait to be rescued. Princesses can slay their own damn dragons!

That advice landed up in The Unborn Child Protection Act series…and in my store.

Just use the discount code ‘Princess’ to get the 25% discount. Thanks, Mom!!

I've only started tearing into...I mean...editing my manuscript but I'm already yelling at myself.

Protagonist is 12 years old. I absolutely get that. BUT, I need to tone it down!

Today's mood brought to you by a rather bad Section 31 movie.

If you need me, I'll have ST Discovery on. I need to see the Emperor as she was meant to be played.

Computer, hot latte, stat!!
