#editors, explore the five stages of grief on a fantastical, macabre quest through the afterlife in this Over the Garden Wall x Beetlejuice cozy fantasy horror! 🌈🫀🪦 On submission now and represented by Bethany Hendrix of Spencerhill Associates!
It was such a fun line!! The humor in this one is the best!
A fellow author sent me a message yesterday saying she found a line in THE RETURN OF THE CERULEAN BLUR entertaining. 🥲
That little DM totally made my day. Good reminder to me to always send the kind note.

Susan see: Don’t care about this book’s mother-son family drama or second chance romance. I’m here for the fast running and punching bad guys! 🦸♀️

Thank you so much to Traci Brimhall for sending me her debut nonfiction essay collection, THE GRIEF ARTIST. I highly recommend this moving and lyrical examination of grief from all angles. This one is funeral director approved, and I’ll be adding it to the funeral home library!
Almost halfway through second draft edits for my Horror Romance WIP, and I’ve trimmed off about 4 K from the word count 🥳 raise your hand if you also over write 🙋♀️

Kindle Unlimited is now Kindle+ - just as my latest book is up. Check out THE RETURN OF THE CERULEAN BLUR KU, er, K+!
ALT As the Cerulean Blur, Susan Murphy battled supervillains, helped others, and soaked in the public adoration—all at 2,000 mph. But a tragic mistake ended Susan’s superhero career 17 years ago and sent her life into a tailspin. When Susan is forced to use her powers again, it opens a dialogue with her estranged son, Troy—and gets the attention of a deadly foe from her past. For Susan Murphy to live, the Cerulean Blur must run again.

Wow. Humbled by how much I am deleting from the first 50 pages of my Horromance WIP as I work on second draft edits…but also exciting to see the story getting stronger! (Also save EVERYTHING you delete separately!)
How I felt yesterday when my embalming bestie told me funeral director spaces are talking about the article I just did about embalming 🥰

Yesterday, I shared the news that THE RETURN OF THE CERULEAN BLUR is on Kindle Unlimited!
Today, I took signed copies to Boro Books, a cute mobile bookshop in Greensboro, NC. They also carry THE BLACKSMITH’S BOY.
Digital or local, I’m grateful for all outlets carrying my books.
