Does Anyone Blog Anymore? and Where I’ve Been
I decided to make a post because as I quickly updated my website, I saw the date of my last blog post. Wow. I actually don’t quite remember how to use WordPress. This feels so 7 years ago. Anyway. I got to thinking about someone visiting my website and seeing how dead it all seems… […]

My NoVaTEEN 2017 Experience
Let’s be honest here: I suck at blogging. It’s just not my thing. Blog posts take a significant amount of effort and I’d rather be spending that time and effort on other things (like on the clicking involved with navigating Netflix, for example). But seeing as my last post was over 6 months ago, I’m […]

Photo Diary, Girl Mans Up Style
If you’ve read GMU, you’ll probably get what this is trying to be reminiscent of. Of course we couldn’t stick to the exact same idea because of the insane likelihood that something totally rude or crude could’ve been “truthed.” If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you’ll just have to go read the […]

Girl Mans Up Book Launch #1: Toronto

The space is amazing, and I highly recommend having literary events there. It was the perfect spot for my launch, and I’m sure you’ll see that by looking at the […]

Quill & Quire Review of GMU
I got a pleasant surprise a few days ago. I found out not only did Quill & Quire review my book, but they gave it a starred review! The whole write-up is so amazing, and I am so grateful for this reviewer’s careful analysis of the story. I cannot wait to buy the September issue […]

Girl Mans Up Book Launch Events!
September 6, 2016 is when Girl Mans Up hits shelves (have you added it to Goodreads yet?!). That is SO soon. It feels like a really, really long time coming—in fact, there have been a few people who thought GMU was already published, and that I’m gearing up for the release of a second novel. […]
