• Book Review: The King’s Weapon

  In this week’s read I found myself, thanks to Tiktoker @crabandbell reading Neena Laskowski’s The King’s Weapon. The story follows Kallie who’s trained all her life to follow her father’s wishes, and unite the Kingdoms as they were in the past. With a latent gift for manipulation, when she touches someone she can tell them…

• What’s With ND Rejection?

  Blog Post: What’s with ND Rejection: We are so used to delivering exactly what we’re asked for because we spend our lives conforming to fit in, that when we’re given the chance to offer what they are asking for and we are shut down. #neurodiverse #authors #writers #writerslife #blogpost

• Echo of the Evercry ARCs!

  I never planned to write a neurodivergent book. I didn’t mean for Larissa to be autistic. But it happened. And I didn’t realize it until I was reading the edits because all I’d done was write Larissa true to me. As someone who wanted to solve fights with words, and not swords. As someone who…

• Notes for Nightmares

  My mother told me bedtime stories to send us to sleep. She kept telling them as we grew older, and the stories darker. She never meant to send us to bed with nightmares… not always.

• Finding Boundaries

  I took a social media hiatus without ever meaning to, writing ground to a halt, and I limited myself to editing. I had social media content queued in the background, lists of website posts, TikTok videos, and saved tweets. I had books I needed to review, my own work wasn’t getting enough attention, and I…
