Cover reveal, SFF reads, and writing updates
I finished reading an advance reader copy of Stargun Messenger by Darby Harn! It’s a thought-provoking high-speed space adventure in the vein of Samuel R. Delany and Bladerunner. I’ll be posting a more in-depth review closer to the May release date, but suffice it to say it was definitely worth the read! Speaking of Stargun…

reflecting, unplugging, writing
While waiting for spring and other new things, I’ve been reflecting, unplugging, and of course, writing. I submitted my novella for an open submission call! I thought I’d checked over all of my documents before sending them, but somehow, the title of the manuscript included my name – anonymous submissions were like the one thing…

together again for the very first time
I’ve been lax lately posting about my books. Between reading ARCs, posting about World Running Down for the book tour, and generally trying to keep my life organised, I haven’t had the brain energy. But yesterday, the weather was nice and I had a bit of time, so I took some photos! It’s been on…

World Running Down book tour!
I’m super excited to be a stop on the World Running Down book tour! The tour is celebrating Al Hess’s first traditionally published book, a cozy queer post-apocalyptic road trip in near-future Utah. The writing is so inviting and the two-POV framework is perfect for the story. You can watch the video post I made…

shape of the story
It’s the coldest day of winter so far here on the East Coast – a perfect time to make some tea and write this post that I’ve been procrastinating on! Although I had some lofty goals for January, I ended up reading more than writing through the end of the month. I’m halfway through Gideon…

first look
I want to say that I’ve been kicking off 2023 with a brand-new writing project, but truth is that the past few weeks have been mostly catch-up and adjusting to the new year’s routines. Not to say these first days of the year have been without any creative joy! I did a beta read for…

december reads
This December, I’m reading local, reviewing an ARC of a book I’m super hyped for, and am running a holiday offer on my books! I wrapped up my event schedule this past weekend with the truly rad Rad Holiday Market. It was my first time in the RadStorm space, and I loved the collaborative grass-roots…

it’s all coming together
There’s only one month left in the Patch Project Fan Art Contest! Create a piece of art – any kind of art! – and post it to social media by June 30th for a chance to win a copy of Where Long Shadows End! You can find all the details here. Speaking of book three,…

some moments of rest and joy
How’s 2022 so far? I keep writing “2021” when I’m dating things – that’s normal right? Time is even more wonky this year. In any case, hope you all had a gentle and lovely holiday. We were very lucky to spend a couple days with family, and to visit my favourite place in the world…

ideas when they surfaced
After two weeks visiting family, I’m back in my office, listening to Cobra Poems, drinking coffee, and making plans. I didn’t get much writing done while I was away. I got back in the habit of carrying around a notebook and scribbling out ideas when they surfaced: waiting in the car, falling asleep, or early…
