It has been so difficult for me to keep up with social media with the world burning around us. On top of that, I am losing my last dog tomorrow and feeling all the feelings today.

Also, releasing my third book tomorrow.

And it’s my soul dog’s death anniversary tomorrow.

Oh, Universe, you win. ❤️‍🩹

Some protest by marching, some by donating money, some by running for office. There are many ways to protest and fight back. I do so with my words.

My heart is too soft for this world. 🔥

(4) While this next book will take us all on a journey through confusion, anger, vengeance, and growth, it is also intended to add a little whimsy to make us grown-ups remember what it felt like to be a child with hope.

(3) I am proudly a feminist writer. I am not quiet about the realities in our world. I will call it out over and over again. Transforming all of this pent up rage into written art is what gets me through it.

One of my favorite parts about proofreading/reviewing my books is that it always inspires new ideas for future work. Inspiring myself over here. I’m my favorite author. ✍️

I definitely do better at in-person events. Social media is so flooded, it makes it really difficult to get your name out there.

I just want to be some random stranger’s favorite author. Who wants to read:

• witchy
• lyrical poetry
• macabre
• whimsical
• fairytales for adults
• feral, untamed women

The Book Witch is here to deliver some hope and encouragement…and a bit of vengeance. 🪄 🧙🏻‍♀️ 💫

It really is so hard to find the right balance with it all. And I have no answers. I’m totally winging it over here. 😂
