I got this beautiful print at a market today but forgot to ask the artist to sign it.

I love her. ❤️

@anovelescape.bsky.social snapped this pic of SLEEP ALONE at Parallel Worlds in Portland! Thank you, Kelsea! I’m always thrilled to see my books out in the world, and happy to see the band is still on tour. Catch them before they hang up their guitars at the end of May 🎵 🚐 🎸🩸

When you spend time in the morning writing one of your novels most chaotic chapters out in the sunshine.

Rhubarb pie update! ❤️

We are making rhubarb pie. Never tried it before. Will see how this goes. 😊

I finished changing my novel draft back to first person narration! Now I just have to finish writing the novel.

These are stories that persist. That will consume until only ash remains." Quoting myself from the Introduction of "Monster Lairs: A Dark Fantasy Horror Anthology." I was lucky to be able to guest edit this gorgeous collection. 🧵

So, my boyfriend and I have to move to be closer to his new job. In order to afford rent, I need to start making a bit more money. Anyone have a solid full-time or part-time remote job lead? I've been struggling to find something and know recs can go a long way.

My boyfriend's mom mentioned my book to someone and it was already on their reading list! 🥰

I like it when things get weird and I got to write about weird things. movieweb.com/most-insane-...

It's my mom's birthday today so we went for ice cream and now we're watching G20. ❤️

One day I'd like to go to the Los Angeles Festival of Books.

We are at Habibi Fest and have had delicious desserts. This is one of them.
