Writer. Dog enthusiast. Velociraptor masquerading as a human female.
Sometimes I read a book that makes me either want to quit writing altogether or makes me want to push myself to be a better writer, to put more depth into my research, to really drill down into each word I write in order to avoid cliches. The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherin Arden... Continue Reading →
Check out my latest book review for Moniquill Blackgoose's TO SHAPE A DRAGON'S BREATH.
I feel as though I was limping through the start of the year (for reasons stated in a recent blog post), and then I hit mid-March, and someone turned on the turbo drive. I suddenly had energy. I could focus. Motivation crashed back into my body. I sat down and I got shit done. Writing... Continue Reading →
I'll be honest, I totally judged this book by its cover because its cover is freaking awesome. A woman and her monster bird? Sign me up! cover art by Jaime Jones Untethered Sky by Fonda Lee (published April 2023 by Tordotcom Publishing) is more than just an awesome cover. It's a fantastic book, as evidenced...

As always, not all of these books were published in 2023, but... Continue Reading →
Every year I start this blog post thinking that I'm getting to it late only to realize that the previous year, I wrote it even later. Maybe one of these years I'll get to it in January, or, I don't know, maybe I'll even get it prepped in December, but for now, I'll be satisfied... Continue Reading →
Rather than recap everything I've been up to since October (it's been a bit hectic), I'm just going to start off with a clean slate and jump right into what I want to accomplish in March this year. As usual, I'll be breaking my goals down into the following categories: Writing, Reading, Social, and Household.... Continue Reading →
Ten(ish) books I got a kick out of in 2021
Seeing as January's on the way out, I suppose it's past time for me to do my end of 2020 blog posts. I haven't really wanted to blog. I reached the end of 2020 and didn't feel like I'd accomplished anything worth sharing even though I know that's not true. Despite everything going on with... Continue Reading →
