Traditional birthday selfie is late because I slept in due to the major storm last night. P.S. I don't feel guilty hawking my books today--there are seven to choose from!

Cover for Daughter of Destruction by David Dalglish - tagline, Blood is thicker than water.

Cover shows an armored blond woman drawing a sword with a winged-eye as its hilt. She stands before a red stained glass window showcasing an angelic being with multiple eyes.

Reminder: acceptance of your child is bare minimum. They're your child and the contract is unconditional love. Requiring detransitioning to appease extended family, continued misgendering, etc are not what your kiddo deserves. Love them wholeheartedly and protect them from anyone who offers less.

writing rules are, at best, "things that worked really well for a bunch of people"

they are great to have as tools, or as options!

they won't be right for every author, nor for every work

sometimes you need an honest second opinion

sometimes the opinion you're getting isn't right for the work

The book cover for Beat It by Alex Winters centered atop an 80s-era background, surrounded by strips of paper signifying various tropes or attributes about the book itself, including: totally tubular, awesome 80s vibes, grumpy versus sunshine, all the age gap and sweet and steamy!

They say that autumn slowly fades away,
that the cold winter suddenly vanishes,
that spring is gone in a breath,
now it's summer, and I'll never see you
