EMPIRE OF SILENCE X WHEN THE MOON HATCHED

In a distant star system, a betrayed princess must decide whether she’ll let grief break her. Or whether she’ll fight for her freedom to rise again as a rebel queen.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

HALFWAY ✨ Some books are super easy to write—like turning on a faucet. Others are more like hauling a cat out from under the bed on the 4th of July. I’ll let you guess what type of book this one is 😉

Black Hills Arcana is coming 🤠✨🏔️

I have always struggled with how to share all the disparate pieces of myself on social media. The Business. The Writing. The Horses. The Personal Life. And everything else gluing together the cracks of Me.

This year I am resolved to stop worrying.

Enjoy this snap of Book 9.

I had so much fun chatting with fellow Murderbugs authors! We talked about story origins, finding your voice, bugs with murderous intent, and other writerly things.

So so very true. You have to love writing for the writing. Nothing else.
One of the hardest things about a writing career is being aware that success always includes some element of luck and knowing every day that if Stephen King picked up your book and tweeted about it or if Obama saw it in an airport, you'd have it made. So you do the work and pray for the luck.

The witch marks her calendar by conker carpet underfoot, by the apple-rot smell in air. She tells the moving year from the bonefire incense sending smoke-wraith prayers to boundary gods, by the slow change of wood's coat from green to golden. – Emily Banting, 1982

Love this so much. We can’t be perfect and it’s from the mistakes we make that we have the most growth!

Definitely the best part of publishing is when you explain (some of) it to a friend in a different industry and just get a flat stare and then "But none of that makes any sense."
