Adorable, but does anyone else find the “Marry Me?” a bit threatening? Obviously, I've been reading too many thrillers.

I’m not a vague poster, but I want to document today… …my agent just told me news that I’ve been waiting to happen since 2012. TWO THOUSAND AND TWELVE. And it just happened. Never ever ever ever ever ever EVER give up on a book!! Seriously, NEVER give up on a book. 🙏🏻📚💔😭

It is my birthday! You might honour me with blood sacrifice, the drinking of mead, or roasting of meats. Or you could buy one of my books. Or buy me a drink via Ko-fi! Link below.

Any genre dabblers out there? Anyone commit to a single genre even though they like writing in more than one genre? 🤔#amwriting

I once again propose that 2 AM horror writing is not for the faint of heart. The furnace will make squealing sounds it's never made before, like something is trapped in the vents trying to get out. Water will drip, when the taps are not on. Footsteps will creak across the floor upstairs, when everyone else in the house is fast asleep.

I can't remember where I saw it, but "I have made a home with no slamming doors and no eggshells on the floor," is a line I think about often and won't ever forget
