Hello, friends!

Well, for September my publisher wanted me to start sharing some excerpts from my upcoming poetry collection fairy tale love. He made some cute graphics, and since today is September first it is time to start.

Poem on a podcast

A few years ago my poem "actions have consequences" was a part of a podcast on my favorite Disney villain Maleficent. You can listen to the podcast here.

Sailor Moon, Nostalgia, Feels

Listening to soundtracks from Sailor Moon and getting into my feels tonight:Sailor Moon soundtrack. Just made me think of one of my old, dear friends. One I used to have a sisterhood with. She was my Sailor Mercury and I was her Sailor Mars.

She's the one that inspired my book not your piƱata. It truly felt like a friendship break-up at the time. I don't know. Maybe we can mend things between us yet. I'm just in an aching, nostalgic place right now. I hate when people choose to leave but you can't make them stay just like you can't make them love you or care.

It's hard to leave behind living ghosts. Sometimes you're given no choice. But who knows what tomorrow brings? I have to hope for better days for me, for the universe, for everyone.

kinder tides

I can't believe how quickly time flies anymore. It feels so surreal.

My poem kinder tides came out on Friday. One of my poet friends really loves it, and that makes my heart happy. It's always good to know that you're appreciated. I always try to give people their flowers. I feel like people deserve to get them when they're still alive.

Life is too short so I try to put as much love and light into it as I can. I'm following my dreams (writing and otherwise) as best as I can, and I hope you do the same!

A Year Saleversary

An anthology that I’m part of is having a e-book sale celebrating one year of being published! Use the code ONE-YEAR-50% and you can grab the ebook here: https://payhip.com/WhentheRoseSpeaks

The poems of mine that are included are “love bloomed”, “she understands i love you”, “unravel the tangles”, “after all these years”, and “a love elementary”.

This has been the first time one of the anthologies I have been in has proposed a sale for a year of publication so I thought that was neat!

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...
