Is there anything more humbling than thoughtful beta reader feedback? Yeesh!

Fair enough. Do your thing!

You're an author. You wrote a freaking book! I think you should drop "aspiring." It's quite an accomplishment.

Just filed my taxes by myself. I'm a grown up!

Can't wait!

Just got several new beta raders who are actually in my target audience and not just looking for Fiverr business. Feeling optimistic. #booksky #horror #writesky #author #writingcommunity

What really tickled me in just the right way was when Good Stab would say, "like this," indicating a gesture done off-page. Not sure why, but that little detail sealed the immersion for me.

Congrats—the best #audiobook I've heard since "It" narrated by @thestevenweber.bsky.social. It's almost like @sgj.bsky.social wrote this to be read aloud. The entire cast was amazing, but Ghostkeeper stole the show. It felt like Good Stab was in my passenger seat telling his story. #horror #booksky

What do you listen to when #writing? Here is a playlist of what I listened to while writing dual strong #female protagonists - mostly woman-fronted fantasy/gloom/doom #metal.

Oh Christ ... I bet.

My manuscript is done. I've revised. Now beta readers have it. So ... I just wait here then? This part is maddening!

Shoot me a DM with your rates. I'm not there yet, but I will be soon.

God’s crumpled sketches were neither warm nor cold, and none of them had suns or moons. Some had scattered stars, and a few contained plants or fungi with dull bioluminescence—typically either a weak yellow or blue glow. None displayed beauty, but all housed strange life.

The character Stefon from SNL, played by Bill Hader.

This book has everything! A six-foot nun. Shadow demons. Colonial subjugation. Patriarchy. Women empowering women. Religious trauma. Talking animals. And a purple porcupine named Tappazir!
