On my first night in the guest room, I couldn’t sleep. Floorboards creaking, pipes knocking, windows rattling with the wind—all of it would have been more than enough. But the problem was the closet door.

The demon fell.
And so did I.
Exhausted. Floating. Free from the weight I’d been carrying my whole life.

Now that Paxwood Book 1 is complete, I'm putting together an epub and whole audiobook. It's unedited from the podcast, so it has all the rough around the edges charm. I'll probably only sell these on etsy and ko-fi.
Some day, I'd love to do a dev edit, line edit, get it a pretty print edition, tho.

Happy gotcha day, Lilly! Will you give Lilly a belly rub for her gotcha day?
After I adopted her from the rescue, it quickly became clear that she makes space for herself because she came from an unsafe situation, but all she wants is to put more love into the world.
Love my chaos gremlin girl 🐾

Pride on 4TheWords is one of my favorite annual 4TW events, and this year, it's *punk.*
I will write surrounded by rainbows. I will write remembering the first Pride was a riot. I will write inclusively because all my LGBTQIA+ friends deserve a world that embraces and uplifts their existence.

Could really just use a nice nap right now. Like, almost tempted by a Rip Van Winkle sized nap, as long as the world on the other side of the twenty year nap isn't a dumpster fire.

Outline. Put outline into Aeon Timeline. Sync Aeon Timeline with Scrivener. As I write things out, I add more details to the timeline and adjust what needs adjusting.
I also have Obsidian as a digital notebook. It has fun wiki-esque linking features. Love it.

Question to writer friends: how do YOU plan a book? I'm word doc plus notebooks plus sticky notes on the wall plus big board with plan plus google doc plus...ok just about everything EXCEPT spreadsheet. Spreadsheet allergy.
Are you team spreadsheet, team, Notepad document, or bullet pointed .doc file?

I'm working on a reimagining of my first crochet dragon, a rainbow dragon named Pryde. I tried a few gradient rainbow yarns but decided to color change by hand. Straight lines felt too unnatural, so I added some staggered stitches. Honoring the original heart panel wings, I'm emphasizing the heart.

Walked into the grocery store, and the smell of peaches hit me so hard and so beautifully. Oh, you know spring is curving toward summer when the peaches arrive.

If you enjoyed A Ring of Secrets and you're wondering about the sequel, the first draft of book 2 is officially at 25% complete. Which means very little in terms of a release schedule. But, have an out of context line:

With Episode 36 of Paxwood up, that means three more episodes and the epilogue remain in Book 1.
Are you curious about Book 2 yet? Any guesses whose story Kerry will tell next?

Sometimes I think about how I was an advanced reader who got assigned Harrison Bergeron to read in, like, the third grade, and then I go, "Oh, that's why I enjoy dystopian fiction."

My first thought as Ryan Hugh, vampire lawyer, dragged me away from Rowen with one arm around my waist and the other around my throat?
He was cold as a corpse. No, he was a corpse.
