Hey, my book sales have dried up almost completely now right now and I'm too sick to write faster, so I've started a patreon to help me cover expenses toward an upcoming medical treatment for my migraine treatment. Shares much appreciated!

I hadn't known this was coming, and remain so delighted by the Gorn

As of last night, I've now seen the Star Trek:TOS where Kirk fights the Gorn. Really enjoyed the Gorn's sparkly eyes and sense of style!

From a while ago - once I got my yarn bowl I couldn't resist, and look at my good Ben, posing with yarn!

It’s release day! If you’re new to the Ardulum world, here is a quick primer

It's bad enough discovering your fiancé is a cursed prince, but then someone writes a magical musical about it... In Curses & Curtains, musical theatre is the dominant form of pop culture, and I have SO much fun developing and writing lyrics for all the in-universe musicals! #BookSky 💙📚

Looking for a new Arthurian read? The last piece in my collection, the novella "All the Ways We Drown" is perfect for anyone who's ever been annoyed by Lancelot AKA "Elaine of Astolat and Elaine of Corbenic take matters into their own hands" #BookSky 📚💙

Alyssa makes beautiful things! I love my dragon yarn bowl, and Ben does too 🐉💜

Boost and bid friends!!!

HAPPY PUB DAY/HAPPY EVERYBODY-READ-THIS-SO-WE-CAN-TALK-ABOUT-IT DAY TO THE POTENCY OF UNGOVERNABLE IMPULSES & @older.bsky.social!!!!

It took nearly 60 rejections before I got my first short story acceptance. And it was only after I started thinking “screw it, time to write to some weird unhinged stuff” that I finally sold something. Anyways, Happy 3-year Anniversary to my first fiction publication ever, "Ppaka" in The Dark.

BOOKSTORES OF THE PLANET EARTH! Or, well, bookstores of mostly North America. We know you took a hit during COVID, and we would like to do what little we can to help! So we are once again doing a PRE-ORDER CAMPAIGN for independent bookstores.
