A Sci Fi Board Book!
I have read about seven trillion books to my kiddo, many of them board books and many of those primers (colors, letters, shapes, numbers, etc.). So, when I started on my immersive sci fi character history project, I decided that Geraldine Hart would obviously have her own boardbook! Enter: Lil Space Explorers: Geraldine Hart andContinue reading “A Sci Fi Board Book!”

Q&A about YA with some actual YAs
I had the absolute pleasure of spending the evening with young adults from the Equality Crew in conversation with me at Two Friends Bookshop where they got to ask me questions (granted they did not know this was the plan until like ten minutes before it started but they did an AMAZING job anyway), aboutContinue reading “Q&A about YA with some actual YAs”
Fostering Relationships Between Indie Authors and Indie Booksellers
At the Tulsa City County Library’s Third Annual Local Author Conference, I got to give a talk along with my friend, Victoria Moore, about how to navigate relationships with small bookshops as a local author, particularly an indie author.

So, I wrote another book…
Camp Nanowrimo was a huge success for me. I got through my first sloppy draft of a book about lake merfolk and their local friends who have to fight a giant demon octopus that a cult has summoned. Definitely feels on brand and I’ve already sent it to beta readers which is really exciting. AfterContinue reading “So, I wrote another book…”

On Getaways
My bestie and I spent a weekend away in a cabin halfway between our cities and without even trying, I wrote 5k words. The relaxation and freedom and friendship fueled my writer energy. And she hyped up my creative work is such sweet ways (think custom cake and matching nail art for “Chronicles of MyContinue reading “On Getaways”
Letting it Rest
I finished several rounds of edits and now I’m going to let my manuscript rest… Okay, not really. It’s on its way to my editor, but I’m not going to look at it until she sends it back. At least not in a “sit down and make a thousand changes” sort of way. I mightContinue reading “Letting it Rest”
