Paperback, hardback, audiobook?An e-book, most of the time. I can’t listen to audiobooks, my brain doesn’t work this way – I drift away and at some point I realise it got quiet, which probably means the book ended. E-books are convenient.

Pick a genre, any genre!
Rom-com. I always wanted to write it, but it’s so difficult to get right. So I’m doing research, by which...

“I grew up on stories of far away lands and heroic deeds. But the older I got, the more I realized those stories – as glorious as they were – were largely through a heteronormative lens. So when I started writing – seriously writing – I wanted characters like me. Maybe a little confused, maybe questioning or worried about w...

Blurb:
As the center of trade for the four major races, Bisia is the perfect city for a Dahlseid—a young race of plant folk—like Rowan to experience whatever his heart desires, and his position as ambassador for the Dahlsia makes affording those desires easy. But when he overhears a plot of treason against his people, all of that could end.
But will it?

I had a lot of people asking me yesterday on Twitter how I made the arrow promo ad for my books (or whatever you’re supposed to call them) so I thought I would share in the hopes that it helps others make their promos!
I’m generally not very good with graphics and promo art so I’m really glad I found a programme that’s so easy – for me – to use. I’ve heard a lot of great things about other popular sites, but I found that Adobe Spark (now Adobe Express, I think) is the one I keep coming back ...

Teaching myself how to make promo art.
I spent today teaching myself how to make promo art for my books and I must say, I’m rather proud of myself! I’m not generally very good with graphics and such, so this took a little while to figure out how to do (meaning a few hours lmao), but here is the end result! And if you’re curious to check out any of my books, here is a link.
