Finished my first read through of my sci-fi romance debut Moonrising’s pass pages. I'm so proud of this book! The characters are nuanced and real, even the antagonists. The settings are rich. The science is well-researched. I can't wait for it to be out in the world on July 8. #writingcommunity

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Last week, I asked my community to help me get Moonrising to 100 "Want to Read" on Goodreads before my ARCs come out and y'all showed up! Can you help me get to 200? goodreads.com/book/show/222249795-moonrising

After work, I could not get myself to write because I had two chapters to go in James by Percival Everett, and now I'm not sure I can write tonight because all I can think about is this incredible book. 😍 Thank goodness I have book club tomorrow because I need to discuss!

Introduced my kids to Ground Hog Day tonight. Love it when a movie from my childhood holds up. Though, I did have to announce, kids, she said no. He should be listening to her the first time. 😬

My #amquerying friends are familiar with the struggle of finding comp titles. All the work I've done in the past few years reading new books in my genre to find comps pays off when I can make graphics like this! Moonrising comes out July 8. #WritingCommmunity

Writers, is there any better feeling than finishing a great second draft? I've incorporated feedback from 5 beta readers, and the manuscript is popping. 🙌 My favorite part of the whole process is seeing my writing get better and better with each draft. #WritingCommmunity

Ending the year hitting my word count goal for The Red Woman of Mars! I'm an under-writer, so I wasn't too worried when I had a complete Draft 1 at only 70k words. Now, I'm on chapter 43/51 in Draft 2 edits, at my word count goal, and loving the way the novel is coming together! #writingcommunity

Omg, omg, MOONRISING's first inclusion in a 2025 list! "Something about this hooked me the moment I learned about it, and I’m not-very-low-key obsessed. Gimmeeeeeeeeee!" Thanks, Sia!

My godmother just stopped by to drop off a bottle of Moet and a moon notebook to celebrate Moonrising! She took a few bookmarks to help her talk up the book at her favorite bookstore in Denver when she's there for the holidays. 😍 #writingcommunity

This post was going to be, wow, I've sold 40 pre-orders of Moonrising and the book doesn't come out for 7 months, but then my freshman year college roommate emailed me and told me she bought 4 COPIES so now I'm up to 43. Pre-order link: tinyurl.com/moonrisingbook #WritingCommunity
