Belinda Boring and I have been working on a top secret project that we finally get to announce this week. We've been talking about this for years and finally did it. I can't believe we've kept this secret as long as we have! So excited to share it...but I can't yet. 😞 Soon, though. Soon...

Writing has always been a way to process emotions and work through healing. Creating stories and reading them provide a safe place to retreat to. What books have allowed you to retreat when you most needed it and/or served as medicine for your soul?

Sitting outside the laundromat with Buster, working on KOSAS2 and some behind the scenes business, like updating book files. 😝 and are not always glamorous. In fact, most days are like this - finding a place to take care of normal life stuff while squeezing in work every chance you get wifi or even decent cell service.

Happy Full Moon! This Full Moon in Aquarius is also a rare Super Blue Moon (the next Super Blue Moon doesn’t come until 2037). With the other cosmic energies, this one is illuminating the tension between being committed to your values while navigating change and shifts. It’s also bringing big energy for abundance and independence. Full Moons aren’t usually a time to set intentions but this one is, after releasing what no longer serves your best interest and the life you want. Focus your intentions on those things that not only benefit you but serve the collective too. It’s time to write a new story in your life. What is yours?

I miss my book community! I was searching for a photo and stumbled into an album of past book and reader cons. What fun memories! I miss the connection with readers and other authors. I hope to get back into doing these soon. Where should I go? Where have you been that you loved?
