Reminder that these books exist and are a perfect binge-read series for your next vacation or lazy weekend!
We’ve got heists and hatchets, we’ve got sinister magic systems and adventures on the high seas! Mysteries, betrayals, and a dash of sapphic romance 🥰
Check it out!😁
Every writer has at least 3 of the following:
-a giant crate of unused notebooks
-a strong opinion about the Oxford comma
-a horror story about losing an unsaved draft
-at least three (3) fun coffee mugs
-crushing imposter syndrome

The very fun thing about social anxiety is that when you don’t reach out to people you feel guilty and like a bad, absent friend... but as soon as you DO interact with people, you spend the next 3 days dwelling on how annoying you were & how they probably hate you now.
All right, you know what, I have no shame and need to Feel Something these days:
Does anyone have a good book rec that will make me look like this?
BEHOLD ME IN MY SOBBING, BAREFACED, PAJAMA'D GLORY. And give me book recs that will squeeze my heart through a juicer. Thx :)
Periodic reminder that these books exist and they’re about rogues and thieves and hatchets and betrayal and heists and if you like any of that shit you should check them out 😁
I just wanted to take a moment this morning to thank every single person who has supported this duology in any way, big or small.
You’re all incredible and I’m so thankful for each and every one of you 💙
What book hooked you on to Fantasy?
For me, it was this:
Winter Warriors by David Gemmell
I picked it up based on the cover & my mind was blown away by the storytelling, characters & the plot (I had never read anything like it before) plus I was reading mystery-thrillers then.
It’s my book babies! Plenty of copies up for grabs at the
@Powells
booth at Rose City Comic Con!
Swing by tomorrow at 1:00 PM, I’ll be signing copies 🤩
Quick, someone show this picture to my six-year-old self 🤩😍
My first book makes her way out into the world today!
Order online here, or snag a copy today from a retailer near you!! 🥰
I FEEL EXCITED TO BE WRITING RIGHT NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS.
I feel like my soul is alive again, tingling with potential energy, ready to craft worlds and turn raw ideas into stories and characters and lives.
This is what I’m meant to do.
It’s my birthday! Which means today I am [REDACTED] years old! Wanna help me celebrate? Snag a copy of my books today!
Pick up a copy for a friend! Ask your local library to order it! Leave a glowing, lovely review if you enjoyed it! Love you all! ✨💫
By far the FASTEST first draft I have EVER written. Under two months from idea to completed first draft.
She's messy. She's underwritten as hell. She's gonna need lots of TLC before she's even ready for beta readers. But holy shit, you guys, I have a complete first draft.

Thick as Thieves:
I'm writing from a coffee shop this morning and omg. A man just walked in with a child. He has a backpack and got out a computer to work. She has a BRIEFCASE and just pulled out a coloring book.
I am deceased. This is the cutest thing I've ever seen.
This is without a doubt the coolest place AMONG THIEVES has been 🤩

Today, AMONG THIEVES exceeded TEN THOUSAND adds on Goodreads. I am utterly speechless that there are that many people even slightly interested in reading this story that I began penning in 2016. I can’t wait to see it officially come into the world in just a few weeks! 🥰
🎂Happy First Birthday to Among Thieves!🎂
It’s hard to believe that my first-born book baby has already been out in the world for a full year!
Thank you so much to everyone who has picked up this little book and shown it love in the past year. 😍

short chapters are the "donut holes" of reading for me. like "oh, lemme have just one more... one more... oh wait they're gone." and then the book is over.
It is the last day of November. I def did not win Nano this year. But I wrote 18K words. Doesn't sound like a lot but given the Circumstances of my month, I'm thrilled.
Reminder that if you lost Nano, too, you didn't REALLY lose - if you got words on paper, that's still a win💙
Been feeling like crap about my writing lately.
Just reread a scene from my latest WIP that I am 100% certain is the best scene I've ever written.
CONFIDENCE RESTORED! LET'S GOOOOOO!
Stabby disaster lesbian leads four fellow thieves of varying levels of stabbiness on an impossible heist… All of them have their own agenda, and only one thief can win.
Make this summer the summer of your fantasy!… novel.

Writer friends:
Sometimes, I think we forget the amazing feats we’ve already accomplished.
So many people want to write a book. So few of them actually do it. Even fewer end up sharing that story by publishing it once it’s done.
Don’t let those goalposts move. 💙

Nothing like driving out to a local indie bookstore in an attempt to forge a relationship only to be told they don’t stock your book and won’t because “you’re no Nora Roberts.” Like. Obviously I understand that. Excuse me for trying to be a local author and support an indie.
