I’m going to DM you on Discord!

Thank you so much for including #TheBloodweaver on this list, @jamreads.com!! I’m so honored!

Ahhh, thank you!!!

I think I’m the luckiest debut author in the world to get such a gorgeous cover. @eleonorpiteira.bsky.social brought “The Bloodweaver’s“ main character, Kerick, to life in such stunning, intimate detail that I’m still pinching myself over it.

This is real life, right?

Ahhhhh! This is an author’s dream to hear!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I am so grateful to you, thank you!

Who can say? 🤔

Perhaps.

I'm so honored and excited to share I have a new story in @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social coming out this October! Look at this incredible cover!
Cant wait for y'all to read it :')

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Omg, thank you so much for coming!!

In the SFF Families panel and 1000000x yes to @cnkuster.bsky.social 's points on teens being portrayed tropily in fiction while their earnestness and desire to be seen are dismissed or invisible.

THE LAST LEAP - A gothic thriller. Rebecca X Mexican Gothic.

She has seen him kill. Now there is no escape. Where would she run when the man in the black suit is everywhere, even in her dreams?

I believe I'm in it! Just to be sure, do...geese mean anything to you?

Hey! I can't find the original post, but would it be possible to be added to the 2026 Starter Pack? (Also, I am in the "I am trash" phase of editing/drafting.)

Well, snap. I forgot to post this here!!! I’m gonna be a published author, y’all!!

A portrait of a young man with a pleasant look on his face. He looks at the viewer. On his shoulder a small, finch-like bird is sitting and looking to the right.

Meet Emiel! He’s the third and final sibling in my novel, THE BLOODWEAVER, a story about siblings who must navigate the increasingly volatile landscape of a world divided by new magic.

I drew this using a Wacom tablet, Photoshop, and brushes that emulate soft pastels. It took me about 35 hours.

Hello #Booksky! This is Mel, a protagonist in my novel, THE BLOODWEAVER. When her girlfriend gets arrested for Bloodweaving, Mel will do anything to keep her from harm, even if it means posing as a Bloodweaver herself and forging ties with her captors.

I drew this myself. No AI was used.

This is the most underrated album of the 90’s, and I will die on this hill.
