Thinker of thoughts, writer of dreams. Gamer, teacher, author, just trying to make it through life...it takes a certain type of insanity to do what I do.

📚💙 A little snippet from REMNANT! Brígh has never been particularly good at minding her own business. In her defense, nobody explicitly told her not to listen 👀 #BookBazaar26 #SciFi #IndieAuthor

The veil is growing thinner, and spirits are growing stronger. Threes are important in both folklore and witchcraft. It feels like a good time to grab a haunted house thriller. Such Sweet Sorrow's campaign starts in three days! #BookBazaar26 #AQPromo #s3 #BuyIndie

My fave lines for #ADragonForDarius are starting to get intense and spoilery so I've been quiet. But here's something: Cal pulled away from Darius enough that he could turn and study her, measuring her out with his eyes like ingredients for a recipe he learned from his grandmother. #BookBazaar26

One of my favorite parts about #ADragonForDarius is the opposing pathways that Darius and Drake find themselves on. Darius starts believing in herself while Drake loses his confidence and shrinks in on himself. This Thursday, my #Dragon Story launches on Backerkit as part of the #BookBazaar26

At the community market Saturday, I found my first concerned parent who asked me about "bad language" in my books. "Yeah, they range from PG-13 to NSFW. A 10 yr old probably shouldn't read these." Happy to say the kid found a book that was appropriate. See? No book ban needed. #LetPeopleRead

#Octember 25 If Darius was a horror movie villain she'd be a creepy doll with a china face. (Not Chinese dolls, although she's Chinese-American, the ones with china faces.) And when you flipped her over, turning her upside down, she'd turn into a dragon, then hide under beds with the stabby-stabby.

Today's snippet from REMNANT features Brígh and Callum! 📚💙 One trusts a little too easily. The other doesn't trust anyone. Well… almost anyone.

This is so helpful to me as a crowdfunding newbie. My biggest takeaway was "Update regularly." I am determined to do this right for all my backers, readers, and friends. Word counts, editing passes, and cover art as it comes in. My plan is to update backers on all progress. #BookBazaar26.

It's time for #TBBCountdown... Where we give you one question a day, and you tell us ALL your thoughts. 7 More days until TBB launches, so we're asking today: what is one thing you wish all crowdfunder creators did? #TBBCountdown

This story means so much to me. It did even before I realized it was my 7th through 10th novel. I want others to meet these characters and love them like I do. Just one more push of the boulder and we'll be to the top of the hill. #WritingCommunity #ReadingCommunity #SFF

I know that the economy sucks and the world just feels awful right now, but gentle reminder for anyone who needs it that gambling is NOT the answer and will make your life worse

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Why are so many Republicans afraid they could go to jail if Democrats win the midterm elections? Gee, I wonder WHY?! Now, go VOTE!! 😎🇺🇸✨

Both, because it's really about the /values/ the story presents that tell on the writer. What makes someone the 'good guy' vs the 'bad guy' is basically just a shotgun blast of the writer's concepts and morality, even if you have to analyze more carefully for irony and satire. #writingA

Do you think writers reveal more about themselves through their protagonists, villains, or both? Why? #writingq #WritingCommunity

Demand human thought, human art, human connection. #human
