Fight Book Bans
This post isn't about my personal writing journey or my books, as per usual. This post is about fighting book bans. I saw this site on Tiktok last night when I was browsing. It was stitched from a post that said if they're going to try to get rid of Sesame Street then they were going to go after libraries next. This site gives you a lot of different options of ways you can take action: Fight Book Bans!.
As an author, writer, literature lover, and reader I will always support libraries! I will always support the right that people have to find books that they want to read. Just remember the people who ban books and burn books have never been on the right side of history! Stand up for the right cause: knowledge!
I've worked at libraries before. Libraries are an invaluable resource, and we deserve to have them no matter what! People can and should be able to read whatever they want whenever they want. You may not want to read something, that's fine. You don't have to. You don't have to let your children read it, either. But you shouldn't have the right to tell a whole group of people what they can or cannot read.

A Long Needed Update
Sorry, I'm terribly quite terrible at keeping a blog and keeping it up to date. But I do try.
Haha! Anyway, my book fairy tale love will hopefully be out soon. I've gotten the names and emails of some people who are willing to be arc readers, and my editor reached out to tell me that there will be fundraising to get this project up and running. I am excited! I have wanted to share this book for quite some time.
It is a collection sapphic poetry about me imagining what it would be like to have a wife. Of having that fairy tale love that I've always dreamed of since I was a kid. While most of my poetry is autobiographical, I decided to just go with it. I wanted there to be an example of healthy, happy queer love out in the universe when there's still this trend to "kill your queer characters" off in media.
The book is sappy, romantic, and dreamy. Flows like water or honey, maybe even both. I'm really excited about when it might be published. I'm not too sure on when it will be released, but my publisher and I talked about it and there will be three different versions at different price points: a color version with artwork, a black and white version with artwork, and a version that is just the poetry itself. I'm not sure what the price points will be yet but I will keep you up to date as more information becomes available! I'm just really excited for this.

An Apology & A Book Release
I apologize, it's been a while. Too long, I know. I have simply been busy and it has been a bit chaotic with my schedule at work changing on a consistent basis rather than me maintaining my usual schedule. So I apologize.
In other news, though, if you have not seen or heard my haiku collection in these ancient veins is now available. You can grab a copy at the following link. It came out earlier this month, and I should've done a blog post about it sooner, I'm sorry! But I am here now.
This collection is sapphic, yearning, and fantasy. So if any of those things are your jam then you should definitely check it out. Hopefully, I can get in the habit of posting content here on a more regular basis. Until next time, friends!

An Update
Hey, everyone! Just Linda checking in with an update. My short story collection King Quinlin was supposed to be out March 3rd. It got delayed because it had a subheading of another project of mine that I was working on by mistake. Thankfully, my publisher was really cool about it, and got it fixed straight away. My collection will now be coming out March 6th so keep your eyes out for it! I will be crossposting on all of my social media about it.
For those of you who may not know King Quinlin is a short story collection set after the events that occur in my novella The Queen's Son. I am excited for you all to see these characters expanded upon and see some more worldbuilding with these lovelies! Until next time, friends.

Just A Little Bit of Everything
If you haven't already read my novella The Queen's Son, you can get a little preview of it if you grab a copy of the March 2024 edition of The Alien Buddha Zine: here.
This is the book that comes directly before my short story collection King Quinlin which is due out March 3rd. I'm super excited to get my first short story collection out into the world. I have another one that I am searching for a home for, and I am hoping it finds one soon. We'll see!
Still hoping to find some book bloggers for my upcoming poetry collection fairy tale love. I'm not sure if blogging about poetry books is common or not, but I remember with one of my former publishers she had created a book tour for one of my novels. I would think it would be the same concept, but I don't know. I will keep trying to find anyone who might be interested in blogging about this.
Have a good day, friends! Always remember that you are worthy no matter what anyone tells you, and life is too short to follow anything less than your dreams. Until next time!

Excited & Still Looking For Book Bloggers
I'm really hoping I can find some book bloggers that will take on my upcoming poetry collection fairy tale love. A few people have retweeted my request on Twitter, but I have absolutely no one tell me that they're interested so I am a little worried. Hopefully, I can find the right people somehow.

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...
