Baguette, anyone? I roped my spouse into dressing up with me this year too, and he was a good sport about it. Happy Halloween!

Hey look, it's another AI-generated author marketing spam email. Only this time, they sent it to the wrong person because this is not even my book.
(Though you really should read Survival Kit by A. H. Haga because it's great.)

I still have such a fondness for Mitul and Kamaal's romance in my Curse of Shavhalla series. Second chance romance between two middle-aged men, an artist and a musician. We see it all play out through the eyes of the traumatized teen they take under their wing and basically adopt. 🥺💙

Anyone looking for a quick escapist fantasy novel about a magical traveling circus, fantastic creatures, and sticking it to bullies?

Finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 last night. I am emotionally devastated in the best way. What a phenomenal piece of storytelling! Just stunning. I will be thinking about this one for a long time to come.

A kid maybe age 5 or 6 just came to my farmer's market booth trying to convince his dad to buy "a violence one" of my stickers or buttons.
The dad reminded him that "we don't condone violence" and they settled on this insead. 😂 The kid was very excited to put it on his shirt.

Hey look. Writing progress!
It's been months since I've been able to post an update about my cozy post-apocalyptic novel in the works, but I've gotten back into writing pretty consistently over the last week and the words are flowing. I'm really enjoying getting to know the characters better.

Finally nailed down exactly what I want on a big banner for my in-person events, so that's my fun creative project for the next couple of weeks. Here's an illustration in progress.

If you see this, QRP with queer art. 💖
Here's some of my own art. Mitul and Kamaal (first two images) are from my Curse of Shavhalla fantasy series, and of course I have all kinds of OFMD art because I'm obsessed. 🌈❤️

My daughter is texting me about some annoyance she's having with her dad, as if I can do anything to change it from 200 miles away when he's been like this since I've known him.

HEATEW side character intro: Meet Ronnie and Jenna, my highly parentified teens with brave, brave hearts and way too much responsibility on their shoulders. They're just trying to survive the apocalypse while caring for their younger siblings and cousins, and man, is it rough out there. 💙

I've got a bisexual MC in my current WIP. It's still in first draft stage but I'm really excited about it! Sapphic, cozy post-apocalyptic novel about the power of stories in dark times.

Today's little OFMD art progress update (because I didn't end up finishing it like I'd hoped). Hands and tattoos and rings 💕

Crappy photo of my computer monitor with my current OFMD art project WIP, but I'm super excited that this is almost done. I think I sketched it out 6+ months ago and finally got back to it this month. Still not 100% sure about some of the background colors but that's a problem for later. 🏴☠️🍊🗡💖
