When inspiration strikes, your writing laptop is downstairs, but your bluetooth keyboard allows connections to Android devices. This is mom life writing at its finest. We live in the future, you guys. P.S. Don't zoom the image if you want to avoid spoilers for Haunting Miss Trentwood, haha!

I'm that person who obsesses over the one thing she hasn't done instead of celebrating the things she's accomplished. Call it a character flaw or quirk, I can't seem to shake it!

Ending the month with a Christmas in July sale. Most eBook and audiobook vendors are discounted starting today through the end of July for my books The Last April and Haunting Miss Trentwood. Links in my profile!

A teaser from my new story, "Miss Preston's Predicament." Available for pre-order now and launching on October 1, 2021, this Jane Austen meets Ghost Hunters set in the late 1880s is a lot of fun, and a super quick read.

Really enjoying this new view as I steal some time to write on my day off in my newly renovated writing space. I've been watching Hot Mess House with @clutterbug_me on @hgtv. According to her quiz, I'm a "bee," which means I like visual abundance with organizational abundance / micro solutions. I want to see every day items, rely on functional storage, and will pile up items until I can put things away "properly." This perfectionism is exactly why it's taken me since before the pandemic to slowly dig out of my home office, which has three purposes: my Etsy shop inventory, my fiction writing and publishing desk, and storage for my photography business. Anyway, I now have stations, baskets that both hide and reveal commonly used items, and I can be inspired when I look up from my work to see my planning whiteboard or previous publications. I still have a way to go, but it's so freeing to walk into this space and know, "This is where I will write my next novel."

Happy #snippetsaturday! Here are the opening lines for my new short story, coming October 2021 in eBook across multiple vendors. Preorder link in my profile! A lot of readers wanted to see more of Dame Hartwell from Haunting Miss Trentwood, and I'm more than happy to oblige. "Miss Preston's Predicament" is a Victorian fantasy immediately following the events of Haunting Miss Trentwood, and later in the story we get a taste of what makes this a "Jane Austen meets Buffy" tale. This will also be available in print sometime in September, as I'm hoping to make some fun Halloween reader box gifts on Etsy!

Been a chill weekend of more cleaning and sorting in my writing space, and... this! I finished the interior formatting for the print and ebook editions for my short story, Miss Preston's Predicament. Think of this as "Jane Austen meets Ghost Hunters with a dash of Buffy." One of my favorite tropes is "kicking butt in all her finery" so I'm so excited to get this out to you guys.

It's the end of an era. I've had my Kindle Keyboard for 11 years, though I couldn't get the battery to charge the last couple of years and began reading on my phone. My eyes are taking a beating from all the screens, so I invested in an e-ink Android tablet so I can borrow and read library books from a single device while reducing eyestrain. Say hello to my new Likebook p6 from @boyue_likebook 📚📖❤ I'm going to take an old hardcover book velcro the reader inside, just like I did with my old Kindle. It's gonna be great!

Listening to the submitted files for THE LAST APRIL's audiobook by @rachaneelumayno. I'm so excited! ...Pay no attention to my pandemic remote work desk in the background. I work in the dining room during the week so I can mind the kids, too. I've been using the konmari method in my writing space downstairs, I hope to share some before and after pics soon. This and the new audiobook have been months in the making!

I am very sad to hear of the passing of @jfbookman. His contributions to the self-publishing community cannot be overstated. He was a positive disruption, teaching us all how to craft our covers and content to best benefit our readers. He was amazingly generous with his knowledge. He featured my blog articles on his website a couple times as part of the Self-Publishing Carnival. May he rest in peace. I never got to meet him in person, but it was clear from his internet presence just what a kind, "bosom friend" sort of soul he had.

#tbt over the last two weeks, where I received an amazingly positive response from my editor, became fully #vaccinated after the two week waiting period, and the trees were still blooming and pretty, but destroying me with their pollen. I'm getting pre-orders set up for my Edgar Allen Poe anthology and brand new short story bridge for Haunting Miss Trentwood. Newsletter subscribers will hear about these projects and others in the works first. Otherwise, I'm looking for more #gaslampfantasy to read, so tell me, what'cha got?

As seen on our walk today... A t-rex skeleton and tardis tucked into a flower bed. It's like they knew we were coming.
