PAST LIVESxNORMAL PEOPLE

Twelve years after a first love is torn apart by trauma, Aurora and Gale prepare to meet again. As their past resurfaces, she must decide whether the pull she feels toward him has to do with love, mythology, or self-reckoning.

Literary agents: What’s the protocol if you have a full and want to proceed? Do you email asking to set up a call? Do you just call?

Ask me how many “possible spam” calls I’ve elected to actually pick up lately. 😅 #querytrenches

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Check out ✨THE SPACES BETWEEN✨in Back Roads Literary Review’s Spring 2026 issue!

Krystal is drawn to Gale’s quiet intensity, believing love will be enough—until the name Aurora surfaces and everything shifts. Can she stay, or walk away?

The first new months are hard. You don't get a full night's sleep, so it feels like one big, long day.

I know my husband thinks I’m a 10 when I send him a reel or a meme and I hear him cackle in the other room.

Bahahaha 😏

Twelve years after her first love broke her heart, Aurora must face Gale again, risking the marriage she’s built and the family she loves to confront a love she never fully let go.

I know! 😂 I don’t want to give off “I know you have nothing else to do” vibes.

I’m a high school English teacher so editing thousands of essays at this point has been helpful to see errors in my own writing.

We need a funny one today for April Fool's Day, so I'm recycling the meme I used for #ChaosPit 🤣

The boy who once made Aurora feel most alive is now the man who could unravel everything she’s built since she let him go.

I know what "they" say, but I want to hear from real literary agents:

When is a nudge on a partial or full appropriate? Is it three and six months, respectively?

#literaryagents #writingcommunity #querytrenches

You can pick as many as you’d like 😉

Here are some of my favorite funny quotes (out of context) from IT SHOULD'VE BEEN YOU

#revpitwaiting #booksky #revpit #amquerying

It’s my first too!

#10queries feels a bit like reading horoscopes. You always want to twist the message into something that applies to you(r manuscript)

It’s so much easier to squeak out 1,500 words a day when I’m not agonizing over every single word in a first draft. #writingcommunity #wip #booksky
