• Plus-Sized Characters in the MDU

  

  It might not be obvious, because it isn’t always on the cover, that there is plus-size representation in all of my series and novellas. Whether they start out plus-size or end up larger because of life events, it’s important to me to represent it as much as queer identity, because I’m both Queer and Fat,…

• Prince’s Tide Coloring Page

  

  I’ve been hanging onto this for a long time. When Prince’s Tide release happened, I thought I’d print off this coloring page of the characters for folks to have. As with a lot of things during release time, this ended up on the don’t-have-time pile. So, in an effort to make at least one post…

• Half-way Read Book Report #1

  

  Trying out this idea I have, sharing what I’m reading while I’m reading it, instead of after. Because sometimes I’m reading five things at once, and I’m a mood reader, and some times I DNF, but regardless, I want to talk about what I’m reading, now. Thirst by Marina Yuszczuk Setting: while it does switch…

• Odd Rituals & Excuses for Self-Love

  

  Odd Rituals & Excuses for Self-Love I always found February to be a strange month. Lunar new year, the sports-bowl show, presidents day, and a weird little twenty-four hours where everything is literally some shade of pink, purple, or red. Proudly proclaiming, at least in the western part of the world, that love rules for…

• SEO & Book Titles

  

  SEO & Book Titles SEO → search engine optimization. Some days I wish I didn’t know anything about this, but as a self-pub it is something you have to be aware of, at least on a surface level. Last year was the year of figuring out how to do that. I’ve been fixing a lot…

• November 2023 Reads & Recs

  

  Coming full circle, as I stated in a previous post, I had a TRB I wrote up that I thought I would finish in January of 2023. That didn’t happen. More books happened instead ( I am staring at five stacks of physical books, that’s not to mention the ebooks I have downloaded too.) So,…

• My Texas Book Festival Experience!

  

  First off, I want to thank The Book Burrow for inviting me. As an indie author it meant a lot to be included and gain some exposure via the thousands of people that came out to the festival. Things that were AMAZING! : Things I could have done better: Tips for events next time: The…

• A Free Palestine

  

  Updated 3/23/24 I’m writing this as a more formal way of declaring where I’m at with my personal beliefs on the subject. Some of you might follow my IG and know I’ve been reposting stories and words from other folks that are much better informed and more eloquent about the subject than I am. I…

• 2023 Reads & Recs

  

  Some of you might remember that I started a challenge back in December to read fifteen books from my TBR while I was on vacation. What I found out is, I read from an eReader much faster than I read a print book these days. (Though it did take me almost two weeks to read…

• Copaganda & Spoilers

  

  If you know any Gen X folks, or you are one, you might know that we grew up in a time when the PR machine for police was at an all time high. If you don’t believe me, check out The Marshall Project. One of the best sources for digging into the history and machine…
