So hyped that Crying Out for Magic is a finalist in not one BUT FOUR categories in the Indie Ink Awards! This really is 'pinch me, I must be dreaming' stuff. Thank you so much to everyone who supported me!

#indieinkawards #writingcommunity #indieauthors
A picture announcing Crying Out for Magic as a finalist in the categories: - best light read - best friendship - best setting - gay or lesbian rep A thank you message: sometimes this feels like shouting into the void. It helps so much to be proven wrong, and to feel like I have a community behind my boom. It's WILD to me that I'm a finalist at all, let alone in four categories. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. Clip art compilation of a cartoon person with a megaphone shouting 'Hey, um, I wrote a book.' A swirling black void replies 'Heck yeah! I got you!'

I was really lucky to move forward in the #Indieinkawards this year with TETK!

If anyone who hasn't read it is interested, it's pretty cheap!

The First Sin didn’t garner enough votes to make it as a finalist in any of the #IndieInkAwards categories. That’s okay! I want to thank everyone who nominated the book. It’s an honor to have been considered! ✨

That's gonna be a hard record to beat. 😂

This sounds weird, but I'm looking to read a book that *didn't* make it past the voting round of the Indie Ink Awards.

(I need to fulfill the "entrant" prompt for HRCYED.)

So if that's your book, please comment here or send me a DM!

Indie Ink Awards judges received word that once all indie authors who made it to the finals respond to the email, they're opening the portal for judging.

So please, CHECK YOUR EMAIL.

I wanna get started already. 😂

Beggars can’t be choosers but I probably would have grabbed the shotgun rather than the beverage

The demon didn't seem to be listening. Sonny tried shouting at it again, stepping closer to the beast. Without looking, it lashed out its arm and sent Sonny flying into one of the shops across the street. I looked around for anything I could use to defend myself. Littered among the broken glass, I spotted the shotgun, the accompanying box of shells, some road trip snacks that fell from the console, and a shaken-up Dr. Pepper. I grabbed the bottle. "It's over, human." The demon stood tall over me on its hind legs, blotting out the sun from my view. "I was hoping you could take part in your fiancée's torture, but you've been enough of an irritant. You'll just have to imagine the horrors. Now, do the world a favor and stay dead this time!" I removed the bottle cap as the demon lifted its enormous clawed foot over me. Fizz erupted from the soda and I whipped it at arm's length, sending most of its contents upward. Steam bubbled from where the liquid made contact and the beast fell backward, howling in pain.
