Haha that made me chuckle thank you 😂

Just realized I put “here” instead of “hear” 🤦 Let it be known that editing is important

This Friday at 7pm at Bold Coffee & Books in Portland, I’ll be reading about my royal silkie chicken! Come here me and other awesome authors like @meganleebees.bsky.social and @shedric.bsky.social

If you’ve ever considered going to a writing workshop for your novel, I’d recommend going to this one!

Thank you for reading and reviewing! I’m glad you enjoyed 🌱

Also, there will be events around the PNW for this book so stay tuned and come if you’re able!

I took a picture of The Muddy Goose Guide from @demagoguepress.bsky.social and a duck visited. I feel like there might be some dramatic history here, or maybe the duck just wishes it was The Muddy Duck Guide.
My story “Green Lake: The Game” is in this playable anthology!

Check it out!

Not going to lie it’s one of my favorite things to see what others are doing

True! I still appreciate you and the light you shine 🕯️

I wouldn’t be able to do it without your support!!! (Now write your book)

Thank you! It been quite a year! I wouldn’t be here without you believing in my little 1k story all those years ago ☺️

What I'm Made Of by Camden Rose Mother says I’m made of mud, eyes, and a little bit of the past. When she says this, she glances away as though she’s ashamed of what she did.

Award season is among us! I’ve had quite a collection of stories published this year. Here are some of my favorites. Please check them out here or at the links below: camdenscorner.com/2025-awards-...

Come join myself and other amazing authors as we talk about this super cool anthology! m.youtube.com/@vintagebook...

It’s quite a good issue! I still have to work my way through the others but I wanted to start with yours 🌊

Omg this story! It hit me right in the heart. Your descriptions were so poetic, and I found myself entranced. “blue silence of our imagined memory” - amazing. (I also love the ocean so throughly appreciate any piece that deals with oceans and identity intensely like this). Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much! That means a lot that you enjoyed my story ☺️ I’m looking forward to reading yours!

It’s that time of year when everyone goes ‘Omg I gotta tell everyone all the things they can nominate me for’ and then sits around wondering if anyone actually will.

Feel free to nominate my stories for a Hugo, Nebula, Stoker, BSFA, Pulitzer, Nobel… But, equally, I’m thrilled if you just read them.

Yes agreed! I’m excited to read your piece too! (Unfortunately no cute mud emojis exist 😭 I tried looking when I made my post too)

Yes!!! Read my story about a mud familiar here 🍃

Hey you, yes you. You should check out this super amazing author and support her 😊

The Kaastbaan A Public Space Writing Retreat was all about the beauty of cacophony. I had the pleasure of attending this retreat with some fellow writers and lovers of words. I even got to learn under one of my favorite authors, Samantha Hunt!
