Where can you find me that is not here? Lots of places! Website, Pastry On, Instant Graham, and more! And there's a handy link to find it! (And I will be staying here until this place is a smoldering pile of ruins. I'm just stubborn that way.) https://t.co/1Q5W7vYnzD

Boom! Dragons! I made so many dragons this week! I love them all so much, and these patterns are so fun!

The Coldplay concert incident is giving me life because for a brief moment, everyone has stopped arguing about whether or not audiobooks count as reading or if reviews are for the readers or the authors.

This is one of the books that "upset the SPFBO apple cart," in a year when the contest took an abrupt turn from its Grim Dark roots and veered into Cozy territory. ("Oh, the horror!"). This was a Finalist in SPFBO 8 (2023). I loved it. Here is my review. #SPFBO @QEisenacher A

For the first time ever, I have a book out on submission and now I really know where the phrase "just write the next book" comes from, because what better way to distract yourself from the "will this book be picked up or die on submission?" anxiety.

Working on a rom-com I probably shouldn't be working on right now and I've written 16,600 words in just over a week, ahahaha oh no my brain.

The upside to that final rush of writing or revising the end of a book is being able to ignore chores and proper nutrition with the excuse of, "Can't, making art. I'll scrub the bathtub and eat a salad later." And my gerbil brain actually accepts it without any guilt.

That's it! I've done it! I've sold 100 of my books direct since starting my Etsy shop this year! It's a small milestone, but I know it's only bigger sales milestones from here!

Please PLEASE stand up and fight for human audiobook narrators! I cannot imagine someone doing a better job with my books than Zara Ramm did with the Miss Percy series. She is spectacular!

I was very smart and mixed up chocolate chip cookie dough before going to bed last night and now I have cookie dough ready to be baked first thing this morning.

And it's very much a reminder that YES, sometimes you have to slog through some truly awful writing to get to the good stuff and FINISH writing that draft so you have something to go back and fix!

It's interesting revising the portion of this book where I remember being stuck and had to trudge my way through until I loved it again and the words flowed. Reading it now, I can see how repetitive it is, how much I was floundering trying to figure out my next step.

I've now sold nearly 100 books direct and it's still a thrill to send them off every time! https://t.co/uHDVHZR0wS

One of the best things you can do for an author is to buy their books direct! Mine are all available on my Etsy (including some handmade goodies) and that means the majority of earnings come to me and not to the 'zon!

This series stars Mildred Percy, a 40yo spinster who has been living under her family's thumb for decades. She has long put away all of her dreams of love and adventure. That is, until she inherits a dragon egg...

For these last few days of #IndieApril, I'm going to be insufferable and talk about my books. All of them. One at a time (or series at a time). ANYWAY. First up! The Miss Percy Guide trilogy, starting with Miss Percy's Pocket Guide to the Care and Feeding of British Dragons.
