This audiobook finally popped on my Libby app and now I'm about to order the paperback from my local indie shop.

Another book that Made Me Feel Things for the shelves. 📚💙

We found EVEN MORE promo websites from this guy in the last few days ... some using ai, too ...

If you go into the Privacy Policy or Terms of Service of each website, you can see they are the same guy.

Happy 2 year bookaversary to my book baby!

Written when my mental health was in the trash, published when my mental health was in the trash. 🥰 And my mental health remains in the trash, but at least I'm not in pain all the time.

me: people should read the classics.

the classics:

I had just enough spoons to do a tiny update. I hope everyone has a good April. 💕

Please know that I'm not giving up on my stories. The fact that I can't get them out of my head means they will be written, eventually.

In the meantime, please remember to rate/review my books if you've already read them, and recommend them to anyone you think might enjoy them. 🫶

What I work on (when I have time/energy) is determined by my mood. Sometimes something comes along that inspires me to write rapidly, but I'm no longer participating in an annual writing Derby due to them now using AI covers. So that leaves room for me to focus on the works already in progress.

4/5

I continue to have multiple projects: a sapphic dramatic romance (plotted; researched; parts written); a quiet post-apocalyptic literary thing (plotted); an ancient historical romantic tragedy thing; a bi4bi novella? (barely plotted); an adult SFF epic thing (redeveloping).

3/5

I'm sorry that as of now I'm not sure that I will have anything to offer in 2026. There is simply too much going on between (mental) health stuff, apartment stuff, work, trying to learn French, and being an adult with responsibilities in a collapsing world.

2/5

a photo of the author softly smiling at the camera with her novel even if we're broken held under her chin. the words indie april are on the top right, words on the bottom left are: 3 years, 2 countries, 5 stories, zero spoons. covers of the rest of the author's books are on the left.

#IndieApril 📚✨ an update of sorts

I published my first novella in September 2023, and my first novel in April 2024. I then published another novella in October 2024, followed by another in October 2025.

background is a trans flag. on it is a cartoon sketch of 3 ppl with trans colorings embracing. there is a sketchy font reading trans day of visibilty

In a world of increasing uncertainty, I’m thinking about how much it means to witness the ways our trans siblings continue to show up as themselves. You are seen, and your existence brings meaning and brightness to the world. 💪🏳️‍⚧️✨

Authors Guild Expands ‘Human Authored’ Certification Program The program, which launched in beta for Guild members in 2025 and certifies titles as written by humans and not AI, is now open to any author whose books are published in the United States.

No offense to the AG--I'm a member & it does valuable work. But I am irritated by initiatives (this isn't the only one) that purport to authenticate human authorship but when you dig into them really just boil down to an assumption of participants' good faith www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...
