Oh my gosh I need to look this up

I hate how my clothes feel on my body today, I hate how loud my clothes are when I’m walking.

I hate being overstimulated right before having to go to the damn grocery store

Me, trying to figure out how long I’ve been depressed — proceeds to count back too many years….

Me to me: you know what, it’s actually none of my business

Chatgpt! Is! Not! Confidential! Do! Not! Do! This! For! Fuck's! Sake!

Thank you 😭 I have to remind myself this all the time

I have been awake for almost two hours and have finally acquired coffee. This took way too long 😭

Seasoning. 🌶️

when you talk to an author or artist, they will tell you directly the things that influenced them. They know the exact moment the idea entered their head, and what kind of neurosis lead to certain ideas.

Don't outsource your thinking. Humans are curious by nature, be curious! It's fun!

Ahhhh I need to watch it! I’m so excited

Rewatching Heated Rivalry and just sent a text to my family:

Going to watch my emotional support gay hockey romance. If you hear me giggling, screaming and crying, no you don’t

“Fantasy books feel so empty lately.”

Not indie fantasy.

“Everyone’s just trying to rewrite ACOTAR.”

Not indie authors.

“No one’s writing anything new!”

Indie authors are.

Get your fix 🚬

My love, my fiercest love

Best part of being awake before others in the house: being alone with my thoughts

Worst part of being awake before others in the house: being alone with my thoughts

Tell me why the ONE day the Kiddo sleeps in, the ONE day I could have made myself a large beautiful coffee and drink it with no interruptions, is the ONE FUCKING DAY I have to fast for labs 😤😤😤

New patient appointments always make me feel like I have to have the best most correct words to get doctors to listen to me, but that was not the case here. My new doctor here in Australia is so sweet and let me take my time and fumble my words and she still took me seriously 😭😭😭

You ever have those moments when you’re trying to make sense of something but the scenario you come up with is actually terrifying and now you’re convinced it’s true? 🙃

A promotional graphic featuring 3D mock-ups of Bloody Spade and Bleeding Heart's, surrounded by a list of tropes/themes that appear in the Cardplay Duology. Text reads: Abundant hurt/comfort, inky body horror, hot-tempered fire wielder, bird girl with plant magic, a celestial deity with a penchant for murder, a budding QPR, returned magic, slow-burn romantic subplot, asexual panic, monsters born from malice, softhearted scythe-wielding girl, snarky cat-eared thief. Bloody Spade's cover depicts a black silhouette of a short-haired cat-eared boy with a glowing purple spade in front of him. Bleeding Heart's depicts a white silhouette of a girl with deer antlers and long flowing hair with a glowing heart in front of her.

A thief touched by darkness and a girl with the power to cleanse it must learn to navigate his wild magic, her hotheaded brother, and a sinister plot that could end the world as they know it (again).

Kindle pre-order promo graphic for THE HOWLING DARK, coming mid or late 2026. Centered in the graphic is the placeholder cover for the book, featuring the protagonist looking with a neutral expression into the camera, holding a spear. He's backlit and framed by leafless branches. He is a 22-year-old white man with long black and white hair, one brown eye and one blue, and a scar over his left eye. He's wearing a parka with a fur-lined hood over a tan sweater.

Sylvain is an eclipse-born werewolf who knows neither his bestial form nor the post-nuclear wilds his kind hail from. Raised on the orbital research station Zodiac, he’s grown accustomed to a life of peaceful predictability. Though fantasies of visiting his birthplace may be out of reach due to medical restrictions, he has a loving boyfriend and all of his essential needs are met. What more could he want?In the opinion of his elder brother, the answer is: everything.Believing them abducted as children, Illia has always sworn to someday return with his brother to the mountains they were taken from. And when a peculiar turn in Sylvain’s health brings to light an ugly truth, someday becomes now—whether Sylvain is ready for it or not.Soon enough, the brothers find themselves fugitives on the planet’s surface, pursued by the government and bloodthirsty huntsmen, and under the unexpected guidance of the rebel Sundogs. All that lies between them and home is miles of unfamiliar countryside, toxic wastelands, a parasitic garden of death . . . and the question of how much they’re willing to risk in order to get there.

Hey, guess what else: Preorders are officially open for THE HOWLING DARK, my scifi fantasy novel about fugitive werewolf brothers on a perilous journey home across a post-apocalyptic landscape! 🐺🌓

Why the Kiddo is mad at me today: because he woke up too early and couldn’t fall back asleep 😒

To be fair, he’s mad at himself too but holy shit we are on the strugs bus this morning

Cleaned up and rearranged the Kiddo’s room. He’s been playing with his toys instead of his phone or Switch because now he remembers he has them. Huzzah, a win!

…but why does he have to pick the loudest early in the mornings? Lolsob

I can hear the Kiddo eating his Pringles from the other room. My misophonia is STRONG today 😅

Kiddo was eating spicy chips with me, drank all his water, and said “oh no! Zero percent water!” And ran to ask for a refill of water 🤣
