Making Some More Noise

No one's made much noise for my latest book faerie witch queen so I thought I'd make another post. There's a whopping six likes on my personal Facebook account and my other social media isn't doing much better. I had zero likes on both Bluesky and Twitter. The algorithms are really kicking my butt on social media, but I'm doing my best to promote my work.

So if you happen to like poetry, Sleeping Beauty, and Maleficent maybe check out this new collection of mine! I would truly appreciate it.

Being an indie author is hard, but I'm trying not to let it get me down! I love writing, I love my books, and I can't imagine a life where I wasn't writing and dreaming and simply creating. I hope you lot enjoy my creations, too!

New Year, New Book!

Hello, friends! I'm sorry it's been so long. I'm really bad at updating this blog, but I do try. I really do. Life is just hectic with writing and work. With any luck I wil be publishing a new book soon called mantle lake,. It is a hybrid collection of photography and poetry about my favorite place to visit when I was living in Maine.

If you've made resolutions for this coming year, I hope that it goes well for you! I don't do new years resolutions. I just try to improve myself as much as I am able when I'm able. I find that new years resolutions put a lot of pressure on me for no good reason, so for my own sake I just don't do them any longer. It's better for me because it doesn't make my anxiety loud.

Hopefully, I will have more book news for you soon. In the meantime I will keep updating Facebook about individual poems, short stories, personal essays, etc.

Covers For The Queen's Son & King Quinlin

I just love that both covers have a full moon. I also love the detailing of the raven pendant on the short story collection cover. I can't wait to further share the story of the werewolf Quinlin, his wife Zuri, and some of their old friends and family.

Claire L. Smith did the covers for both. I love her artwork so much! She was so easy to work with, too, both times.

It's Been A While

I haven't kept a blog for many years so it's probably going to take me a minute to get back into the swing of things. I'm going to use this blog for when I have writing announcements. Probably not every individual poem I get out into the world, but mainly for books and such.

Here's a list of my current projects that you can buy: If you’d like to support an indie author/artist feel free to pick up one of my books!

My short story collection King Quinlin is coming out March 3rd! I'm really excited about that. Claire L. Smith who did the cover art for the first book of that series The Queen's Son also did the cover for this one as a matching set. I'm not sure if we'll learn more about Quinlin's adventures or not.

I'm working on a lot of projects at once, so we'll see if I get back to Quinlin someday. Maybe I will. Maybe I won't. Only time will tell!
