Thank you! 😊

I’m trying to learn digital art to draw my characters/ scenes from my books (until I can commission art.) and I drew one of my favorite thinking places. 🩵 I’ve improved a lot but have a long way to go and wanted to share my experience if you are thinking about trying something new!

I would pay to see that. 👏

I’d write a dystopian novel, but I’d rather stick to fiction…

I love writing about a grumpy x sunshine x shy, girl trio, they’re all strong in their own way but also challenge each other with their differences. I feel like I know these girls, marks on a paper, and lives in my head. #amwriting #amquerying

So we’re all just out here starving our poor fur babies. 😩

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

It just takes one yes!

Eisenhower

Yay!

Thank you!!

One would think a society of curse breakers could send out trained members to break one of the most powerful curses this century. But no, a crew of untrained teenagers with shaky magic and abysmal fighting skills must save the day. Maybe this pop quiz will help? #unhingedpit #q #f #nd

Sea of Monsters x The Spiderwick Chronicles x Jumanji for young YA

Adventuring and curse breaking is all about perspective… #unhingedpit #f #q #nd

The meme of Gru presenting a plan and being concerned about the last step. Clockwise Step 1 We’ll follow a map of riddles. Step 2 Sail south and break the curse. Step 3 Everyone and their mom will attack us.

City of Bones x Pirates of The Caribbean(movie) x The Haunted Mansiom (ride)

Alice and the crew of The Calypso have a fool proof plan to save The Society of Curse Breakers. #unhingedpit #q #f #nd

I cannot even begin to explain how much I love fog. It’s the perfect weather to write about ghost ships.

I love your comps!

Thank you!

Six of Crows x Gravity Falls

Alice wishes she wasn’t so
curious, her family secrets should have stayed buried under the manor. Her only hope now is to outrun The Society following a map of riddles sputh, and trust a crew as clueless as her to break the curse in time.

To break a curse she is wrongly accused of casting, Alice must team up with a crew of untrained magic wielders and sail treacherous seas, battling folktales and cryptids. A map of riddles guides their way, but the family secrets it reveals may be the most deadly barrier of all. #wspit #q #f #nd #ya

Smart!

It was so fun to write with a modern day twist! Join the crew of pirate writers!

Face reveal, wrong answers only.

I fail so badly when I try to pan fry things wrapped in rice paper is there a trick?

This is hilarious to me because I have family in Kentucky with your last name so I’m always curious if we are related when I see your posts.

It is so cool watching my niece and nephew develop creative interests and talent. My nephew loves art and is so enthusiastic, and my niece is an amazing story teller. I love experiencing the things they dream up. It’s such a privilege.
