Me: There's no way I can find something to share today Also me: literally has a character named Spook. 🙈 Anyway, have a "Spook"-y breakfast scene. #WIPSnips #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

Happy book birthday to me! Rivals' Folly is out now. Hannah and Ed agree on loyalty, violence, and absolutely nothing else. The rest of the family is betting on when they’ll kiss. #booksky #writesky #booklaunch www.amazon.com/Rivals-Folly...

Had to dig into my published manuscripts for this, but found it! #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

Rivals' Folly launches tomorrow!!!!! #booksky #writesky

Only two more days until you understand exactly why everyone has a betting pool on Ed and Hannah. It's space opera, rivals to lovers, on a lawless, mercenary moon. And I may be biased, but it's a great deal of fun. #booksky #writesky

When the villain knows *exactly* how to get to you. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

Three days to go! #booksky #writesky #indieauthor

Clearly she hadn't rattled his brain hard enough. Also, LIZARD CAMEO! #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

Can't believe Rivals' Folly is coming out next week! Can't wait for you all to meet Hannah and Ed and the others. Gritty sci-fi romance with banter, cartel trouble, and unexpected lizards. #booksky #writesky

Rivals' Folly launches next week. This is how it starts. #booksky #IndieAuthors #writesky

Eh, the word inadequate contains the words equate. Close enough. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Was surprised to find that I do in fact have the word Breeze in Rivals' Folly (which is coming out in 6 days!!!) #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

I wear black clothes. I have white cats. Very snuggly white cats. This was not a well thought out plan on my behalf. #authorlife #catsky

What happens when the two most intelligent and formidable people in the galaxy meet for coffee? #WIPSnips #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

One week to go! Rivals' Folly, my new standalone novel set on a lawless mercenary moon is coming to KU on Oct 27th! Can't wait 😁 #booksky #writesky #writingcommunity

When one of your own has been taken, you need all the friends you can get. #WIPSnips #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

Rivals’ Folly contains: Rival mercs Assassins Cartel politics Bad coping mechanisms Excellent insults Questionable flirting and two people with absolutely no idea how obvious they are So basically: Quality entertainment. And it's coming to KU on October 27th. #booksky #writesky #scifi

Just realized I eat like a broke college kid. When my kids are with their dad, I eat cereal, toast, and ramen. I'm 44! #writerlife

Ed and Hannah may be a little emotionally repressed. In denial at the very least. Rivals' Folly is coming out on October 27th 🎉

So marketing is going well 😂 #BookSky #WriteSky #scifi

Who wears a gold bodysuit on a mercenary moon? Angel, that's who. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Had to go with a synonym for this one. This is from book 4 (WIP) of my epic and apocalyptic sci-fi series. #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #writesky

Cast takes on my main characters 😂 #booksky #writingcommunity

A reminder that Ed and Hannah are not together They only: fight recreationally insult each other professionally monitor each other obsessively and make decisions that would absolutely get anyone else written up Normal coworker stuff Rivals’ Folly. Read it for the workplace misconduct #booksky

They're saying pass, but I think they mean smash. #WIPSnips #WritingCOmmunity #WriteSky

#booksky #WIPSnips #WriteSky

This is Raven territory. Watch your step. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Rivals’ Folly is a romance about two people who are absolutely, definitely, under no circumstances attracted to each other. Evidence to the contrary includes: the sparring the insults the staring the fake kiss the real jealousy the worse decisions But sure. “Rivals.” #booksky #writesky

Dockside bar is not for the faint of heart. #WIPSnips

Rivals’ Folly has: 1 assassin 1 mercenary 0 emotional self-awareness several cover identities at least one fake kiss a deeply unserious amount of sexual tension and a betting pool. Get the ARC from Book Funnel now. #booksky #writesky #scifi dl.bookfunnel.com/172sr5936z

When you have to make THAT call. #WIPSnips #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

Ed & Hannah are NOT flirting. They are: arguing threatening each other sparring at suspicious hours making prolonged eye contact kissing for “strategic reasons” & inspiring a betting pool Completely different So check out the ARC Sam has money riding on this dl.bookfunnel.com/172sr5936z #booksky

BookTok logic tends to ask, “Who will this dangerous character become for love?” Mine asks: “Can this dangerous, damaged person be loved without first becoming someone else?” Far more interesting. #booksky #writesky #writingcommunity

We're going to say that the warm, thick comforter counts as fuzzy. This scene is immediately post-rescue, and Hannah is not okay. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

It's impressive, I know. #booksky #writesky #indieauthor

Rescue is coming, even though Hannah doesn't know it yet. #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #Writesky

Oh I LOVE this! #WIPSnips #Writesky #WritingCommunity

I stayed up late reading. Good: the book. Tempting Cargo by Lyra Strake. Bad: I couldn't sleep thereafter. Like, at all. Very bad: I have a full day of client presentations today. Regrets: fewer than you might think. But that could be the sleep deprivation talking

When you're a former assassin, it turns out you should declare your kill count sooner rather than later... #WIPSnips #WriteSky

Me: Apparently readers like protective MMCs. Ed: Hannah doesn’t need protecting. Hannah: Thank you. Ed: Her ex still deserved the kick in the balls. Hannah: Fair Rivals Folly ARC now open 😁 dl.bookfunnel.com/172sr5936z #booksky #writesky #indieauthor

Me: BookTok likes enemies-to-lovers. Hannah: We’re not enemies. Ed: She just hates me. Hannah: Correct. Me: You kiss people you hate often? Ed: 😳 Hannah: I’m blocking you. #booksky #writesky

My characters hit walls with alarming regularity. From Rivals' Folly, coming October 27th #WIPSnips #writesky

Cast chats 💬 Me: Rivals' Folly launches in 3 weeks. I need a romantic quote for marketing Ed: “Princess” Hannah: Absolutely fucking not Ed: See? Chemistry Hannah: I’m going to demonstrate chemistry with explosives Me: This is going well 🙄 #booksky #spaceopera #rivalstolovers

A contract you say? Like an assassination contract? For the head of a rival cartel on a lawless mercenary moon? That's what I thought you said. #WIPSnips #writesky #writingprompts

More reasons you'll hate Rivals' Folly: The MMC has an identity crisis instead of sexy darkness. The question isn’t “what terrible secret is he hiding?” so much as “does he know who he is when nobody needs him to perform?” And the FMC doesn't fix him. She sees him. That's much worse. #booksky

Reasons you're going to HATE Rivals' Folly: The MMC's not an asshole who goes soft for one person. He's someone who was trained to treat himself like a tool. The romance doesn't fix him. It's about him discovering that being worthy and being useful aren't the same thing. #booksky

Hey #indieauthors, just in case no one has told you this recently, I am so completely, utterly, and unbelievably proud of you. Whether you've sold 50000 books, or 5, you threw your soul onto those pages and I think you're wonderful. #booksky #writesky Readers et al, you're pretty damn great too!

Reasons you're going to HATE Rivals' Folly: The MMC is an elite assassin. He is also disabled. The missing arm does not make him less dangerous, less competent, less desirable, or the subject of an Inspirational Journey™. It’s just part of him. #booksky #rivalstolovers Coming October 27th
