Book Out Over the Weekend!
I didn't have much time to post about my new book this weekend because I was spending time with my family. Saturday was my cousin Taylor's birdal shower. I ended up drinking a lot of water. It was super hot and I didn't want to get sick but the heat almost got the better of me, I think. I will be happy when this heat wave is over. All of my fans are on and I'm still sweating buckets.
Anyway, my poetry collection not your piñata is alive! If you're one of those people who believe that friendship break-ups can be worse than romantic ones, then this is the book for you! This is about a twenty year friendship that I thought would last forever, but now I'm not so sure. I didn't know it could only take three paragraphs and no salutations on a letter to break my heart, but it did.
I hope that you can find solace that if you're in this situation that you're not alone. I hope that my words can help you understand that not everyone thinks it's okay to not hold themselves or others accountable. It is so easy to walk away from someone. I want and need the people in my life that want to stay no matter what.

Onwards Adventures in Print
You're probably tired of hearing me talk about this anthology, but Onwards Adventures is now able to be purchased in print as well as received in digital formats. You can grab a paperback copy here: Onwards Adventures Fantastic Tales Print Edition.
June 21st is the launch date for my next book not your piñata. It is a collection of poetry about my anger and pain that instead of holding herself accountable, an old friend of mine wants to start with a blank slate after twenty years of friendship. I find that idea quite humiliating and a betrayal of the sisterhood we once shared, and I examine these feelings in my new collection.

Release Party, Book Release, & Some Other Shenanigans
If you weren't able to attend the release party on Friday May 23rd for Onwards Adventures, you can give it a listen at this link. I wasn't able to be there because I was at work, but it was fun to take over the Fae Corps Book Club Group for an hour. I got to have some lovely chats with some of the members of the group, and it was nice to get some enthusiasm and excitement for my other projects in addition to Onwards Adventures.
In other news, my poetry collection not your piñata is scheduled to be released in June. It's a very vulnerable, raw, honest look at how hurtful/painful lack of accountability can be and the dissolving of a friendship that I thought would last forever.
Also today I have 5 brand new poems out. My poems "let us taste the magic", "the rich are parasites", "we want to live", "proclaiming your hate", and "as if you won't be judged" are out today in the 34th issue of 100 Subtexts Magazine: here.

Release Party!
On Friday May 23rd, there will be a release party for the anthology I'm part of. There's two Onwards Adventures Anthologies one for realistic tales and the one I'm a part of: fantastic tales. The release party will be 9 pm Eastern time for anyone who would like to attend: Live Release Party! I won't be able to attend because I accidentally forgot to schedule it off in time, oops!
However, I will be taking over in the Fae Corps Book Club on Facebook for the hour of noon on Friday if you would like to connect then. I will be advertising some of my books, posting some excerpts and poems from Onwards Adventures, and there will even be a couple of games! The group is public and already has around 300 members if you'd like to look around and/or join us!
Life has been a bit difficult lately so I'm really looking forward to Friday! We all have to have something to look forward to, right?

letters to an old friend
My book letters to an old friend is out! It is a collection of poetry written as poems. It is sapphic, yearning, and about unrequited love and a friendship break-up which really wounded me. So if that sounds like something that you'd be interested in, I'd appreciate you picking up a copy!
I'm still not sure what to do about my book fairy tale love, but I am hoping I can find a solution to where it can still be published because it really is one of my happier books; and I would like to have something out in the world that isn't all about the darkness I've faced but rather about the hope and the light I would hope to receive in the future. We shall see!

Sad News
I'm not sure what is going to happen with my book fairy tale love. I was so excited to see what the publisher was coming up with for the three different editions, but he messaged me a few months ago to say that he was no longer publishing my book. He said he would continue to help me, though, and I could self-publish it.
I was really crushed by that news. I still am, if I am honest. I'm not sure what's going to happen with that book, but I really enjoy that it is one of my brighter, happier poetry collections. A lot of my poetry touches on my trauma and dark things/situations/incidents that have happened in my life so I created this one to put some of my love/joy/laughter into the world, as well.
I will hopefully find a new home for it if this publisher drops it all together because I honestly don't know what else to do, at that point. It is also sad because they were going to publish another book of mine, but obviously that's not going to happen. I guess that's what happens when you get your hopes up, but sometimes even with low or no expectations people still let me down. I guess it's a part of life, sometimes.

vampire & faerie
In my faerie/vampire lore - vampires are really attracted to faerie blood and have to try very hard not to harm them when they fall in love...
