(NOTE: This was originally posted on my Facebook profile on March 1, 2025.) With everything that’s happened in the U.S. in the past couple of days (well, since January 20, really), I’m extremely thankful for werewolves. Yeah, that paragraph is a bit tongue in cheek. Anyone who knows me, knows I have a bit of READ MORE

My Executive is Dysfunctioning
Being neurodivergent, I have a brain that sometimes cooperates with me and sometimes doesn’t. The more I have on my figurative plate, the less my brain cooperates. Over the past week or so… it hasn’t exactly been cooperating. I’ve been deep in the thick of revisiting how I approach writing and publishing. Since I started READ MORE
Random Stuff
I really stink at blog post titles. Tempeh for Two has been out for almost two weeks now, and I’m so excited to see people buying not only this book but the previous books in the Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat series! Also, Tempeh has gotten a couple of really good reviews, which I need READ MORE
2023 In Review
2023 has been over for just past a week now. Last week, I talked a little about what I have planned for 2024. Now I want to take some time to celebrate what I did in 2023. I released two Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat novels. Even though the original plan was to release three, READ MORE
Tough Time of Year
At this time of year, a lot of people post about how wonderful the holidays are. They fill Facebook and other social media with pictures of decorations, dinners, family and friends. And for some people, the holidays really are wonderful. For others, they aren’t. This can be a very difficult time of year for some READ MORE
Healing My Writing
I love writing books. For several years, I couldn’t say that. Most of my life, writing was therapy for me. It was how I sorted out all the “how to human” questions I had as an undiagnosed neurodivergent person. It was how I explored gender and relationships during times when I couldn’t explore those in READ MORE
Release Week!
Happy July! This week marks the release of the newly revised and updated version of Try the Tofu (Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat 4). I’m so glad to bring Tobias’s perspective back to the series; unlike the first three books, Try the Tofu is narrated by Tobias Rogan, the Alpha who is mated to the READ MORE
Life Stuff
Cutting this week’s post VERY short because I am working on way too many things, and sometimes I need to set something aside for the sake of my mental health and well-being. I’m still working on the first draft (which is partially edited) of Fill the Empty Spaces, because the story keeps getting longer and READ MORE
“Stop Writing Damaged Characters”
One of the most common pieces of writing wisdom that gets bandied about is “write what you know.” One of the things I know–much more thoroughly than I would prefer–is trauma. I have experienced various forms of trauma throughout my life, beginning at a very young age, and I live with Complex PTSD among other READ MORE
When the Characters Take Over
Several weeks ago, I finished writing the first draft of a new novel called Fill the Empty Spaces. This novel started as a way of processing the passing of my mother at the beginning of December; although she and I didn’t have the best relationship, the realization that she was no longer around hit harder READ MORE
