Desiccate will be released June 23rd 2026, so I'm sharing quotes and whatever else will grab your attention so you'll want to get your meaty hands on this book ☺️

It's fucking gorgeous here in Colorado today so I'm taking full advantage and getting my sun on.

Surprise!

Book 2, Cadence of Moon and Shadows, will be turned in for edits in July.

If you'd like an ARC of Desiccate, I'll be offering Beta copies at the same time for crucial feedback. If interested, check out my bio for the link!

Figured before I continue on with my Peter Pan continuation, Straight on Til Morning, I needed to get all my notes in one spot 😅

Also...want a spoilery sneak peek at Lucy's family tree???

#booksky #writesky 🪐📚💙

Thank you!

I *keep* forgetting to tag the House 😩😩🤣

@shadowsparkpub.bsky.social

3 months until my epic fantasy, Desiccate, is released.

Stay tuned for sneak peeks at book box goodies. ARC apps are still open & can be found in my pinned post.

Desiccate is a little bit The Last Airbender, a little bit Kushiel's Dart, and a whole lot of bruising hearts.

#booksky #writesky 🪐📚💙

The feminine urge to get up & sing:

You brought me down and doomed this town so when we blow this scene,
Back we will go to my kingdom below,
And you will be my queen
Cause I know what you feel girl.
I'll make it real girl
I can bring whole cities to ruin
and still have time
to get a soft shoe in.

Cadence of Moon and Shadows snippet anyone? Anyone? Buller?

#booksky #writesky

Let's second draft this sequel, fools.

#booksky #writesky 📚 🪐💙

If you like:
epic fantasy
unique world building
elemental magic systems
morally complex rulers
chosen-one narratives with emotional stakes
found family dynamics
sapphic romantic threads
love triangles (real ones)
trauma → identity → power arcs

Then come be part of my lil slice of chaos!

You know those stories where the hero wakes up chosen?

Yeah.
Cambria wakes up buried under corpses instead.

And honestly? That felt more realistic.

Desiccate ARC applications open, book release June 23!!

Just finished draft one of my short story The God Who Wasn't. He came in at 12.8k words.

April is gonna be a long month editing two other anthology pieces AND Desiccate 😅😅

@shadowsparkpub.bsky.social

I'm gonna straight up shatter your hearts when it comes to the Shadow King 😏

#booksky #writesky 📚🪐💙

New mug, who dis?

I ended up writing a three some while listening to Out Tonight.

The universe called and I answered 🔥🔥

#booksky #writesky 📚🪐💙

Where are my 6 AM writing peeps at??

#booksky #writesky 📚🪐💙

Sequestering myself in the kitchen away from 4 and 7 so I can get through these edits 🤣

I live to serve

I haven't tried that yet. I got some sticky traps that I put in the pot and it caught SO many and I haven't seen any since. I'm hoping with the replant with new dirt I removed any larvae that may have been lingering. If they come back I'll probably try bottom watering.

Replanted my Swedish Ivy today. Lost alot of volume due to a gnat infestation and hoping I can keep her alive.
