In the process of removing my books from Amazon exclusive to IngramSpark to ensure I own my work and can further distribute.
Keep an eye out for updates!

Any progress is still progress… right? 😅

I wrote and published Lessons very quickly compared to other authors, apparently, but every bit of progress with Khaerhin feels like a crawl. 😩

I got my first Amazon review 🥹

I stopped by the Book Bar in Palmyra today to purchase a copy of Quicksilver and sign up for the Brimstone release party!

While I treated myself to a book and a matcha, I stopped by the Local Author shelf; I love seeing this section grow. 🥰

You see anyone familiar in there? 👀

Stop by Book Bar - Palmyra, PA for a sweet treat and a cozy atmosphere. 📚 Thank you to the owner as always for a lovely interaction.

Now… to avoid my own responsibilities and get cozy with these glorious silver pages…

Thank you to the Book Bar for having me for my very first signing event! I am so very honored to be sharing this space with other writers, and meeting new readers! Thank you for stopping to say hi; I hope to be out here again in the future!

Fighting words have never been quieter.

You need fuel to create… 😌

Chris at the Simpson Diner in Mechanicsburg, PA knows how to treat a tired rat; she kept checking in, got me to chat a little bit, even got a few laughs out of me before my spouse and I checked out.

I went home and wrote more than I’d written in days. ☺️

What are your favorite comfort foods to eat when you’re feeling… not the greatest?

Come see me and other wonderful local authors, and celebrate Book Bar’s first birthday!

Two weeks away! We’re celebrating our 1st Birthday Bash Sat. Oct. 25th & Sun. Oct. 26th. We hope to see you there!

P.S. Our friends at Bookshelf Shenanigans in E-town will also be celebrating their birthday on Oct. 25th too! We recommend making a day of it — maybe do some autumn bookstore hopping with friends!

On June 27, 2024, I snapped what was to be the last photo I ever took.

This path became a new beginning for me, instead of an end.

I’m ready to bare my soul.
