The second volume of my collection lestat's poem will be out in December. I'll post the link when it is able to be purchased. In the meantime here's the link to the first volume if you have yet to read it: lestat's poem: book 1.
My poem "which vampires know my name?" is out today in the latest issue of Carmina Magazine. You can read my poem here.
If you couldn't tell, my favorite monsters are vampires.

crescent moon
Also I realize that I talked about my book crescent moon without ever posting an update or a link so here's the link for that: crescent moon. It's a collection of feminist, empowerment anthems for people willing to embrace themselves and their weird.
As always, I hope that you enjoy this collection.

Autumn Is Here!
Oof! It's been a while! I'm sorry. I don't know why I'm so bad at updating this blog sometimes.
My collection lestat's poem has been out a couple of weeks now. It's hard to imagine because time seems to fly by anymore.
I'm glad that the cooler weather is finally coming. Autumn season is my favorite. There's no sweat upon sweat, no bugs that bother you, and I don't get so overstimulated by the heat. It is the season you can cozy up with a blanket, and there's pumpkin everything! Nothing better than that, I tell you.

crescent moon
My poetry collection crescent moon is coming out July 3rd! I'm really excited about this upcoming release. This collection is near and dear to my heart. It's a collection about outgrowing people's perceptions of you, becoming unapologetically yourself, and loving yourself along the way as you become.
As someone who was aggressively bullied her entire life especially in middle and high school, it took me a long time to find self love. But I have found appreciation now for me and my magic, and I refuse to accept anything less than what I deserve. I will take up my space in this universe unapologetically. Because life is too short to let people hold me back from who I am meant to be. If you don't like me then go find someone else because I will always be me: the weird girl who dared to follow her heart and her dreams.

A Little Star
It's National Poetry month. I have been writing a lot of poetry this month. I have been writing a lot of poetry this year. I'm still hoping to get at least one more book of fiction out into the world, but I will probably be trying to get some more poetry out; too.
I've gotten some rejections lately that have made me cry. Here's to hoping that I will find some reasons to celebrate, too. I know rejections are a part of the writer life but sometimes they hurt more than others. 2025 was a hard year of my life, and though; 2026 has been better thus far - it has still come with it's own share of hard.
I'm trying to find the light, but I feel like a little star trapped in a black hole. I hope I find my way back to space.

Already April
It's already April! Seems wild to me. March seemed gone in a blink of an eye while January seemed like it would never end. The years move by strangely, I've noticed. Some months fly by some years and go slower in others. It's weird how time can move differently from year to year.
This morning this fellow writer told me I write a lot. I don't know why, but it rubbed me the wrong way. I still don't know what she was playing at. She has only ever promoted her books. I write books of many different genres but I also submit to magazines and anthologies so, of course, it's going to look like I write more than you do. Also, I post pages from my already published books sometimes trying to get some more traction.
I told her all of this, and there's no response. Maybe she didn't mean anything by it, but it just seemed rude to me. Like when people used to tell me I was too intense or I was too much. You can think I write too much, if that makes you feel better. But I'm always writing or thinking about writing. I'm a person who craves a lot of alone time who doesn't currently have a partner or kids so I have more time to write. Like I'm sorry you don't have enough time to write as much as you want to but why are you making it my problem? I think people either need to remember the golden rule of treating people how you want to be treated or just keep their inside thoughts inside. There's no reason to be snide or rude or try to undermine your fellow writers. Some people write a lot, some people write less, and some people can't write as much as they would like to. But I think every writer's journey is valid (so long as they're not using Ai). I don't think we need to nitpick and judge one another for everything. The world can be cruel and exhausting enough on it's own.
Just remember to be kind. All I want to do is make a career out of my writing, and I write a lot. If that's a reason that you hate me, that's just sad and maybe you should re-evaluate yourself.

Women In Horror Month
It's Women In Horror Month, and I'm excited to be among these women. I have my book "These Monsters Conquered" but I also have submitted and written many horror short stories, flash fiction pieces, and poems. I keep hoping that maybe one of my short stories or flash fictions will be seen by someone who thinks they'd make a good movie. A girl can dream, right? Ha ha.
Being an indie writer is challenging, but my heart is full of stories and poems so I know I could never give up on my dream no matter how hard this can sometimes be. I just hope one day all my hard work will be noticed, I hope to write something of merit and acclaim. I hope that people will see I put my heart and soul into every single piece I write no matter how long or minute.
