If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Me: Geolocation when you're not using the app is pretty unique, no?

First video of three, this one explains why I reached out to my union. If we can’t have our likeness used without consent or compensation, what recourse do we have on social media?

Stay tuned for part two!

Yup! All but one of our workshops are recording (writing spice and intimacy isn’t recorded cause… well ya know)

It has been almost 7 weeks since I worked out. And waking up today with my arms sore was the best feeling in the world. This recovery is much slower than I anticipated, but I am grateful for my doctors, my physical therapist, and my husband for helping me every step of the way!

Working alongside Jared (or really anyone from the NYCSS team) is always a joy. And I cannot WAIT for this one. One of our more popular workshop from 2025, we're bringing this back in September!

Yes, and… it’s also a lot of work. AND there’s a huge learning curve that almost four years in, I’m still getting the hang of. But it’s worth every moment!

Me walking outside with my dog because I WFH.

I KNOW there are folks in the kynk community who have thoughts on this. So let's talk about it! I'm teaming up with Pro Domme and Kynk Educator @celinameteor to go through the good, the bad, and the Goldilocks of writing spice. Join us!

Whether it’s coaching, dev editing, line editing, or workshops, I’ve got my eye out for violent storytelling that sizzles. No need to dread, we can figure it out together!
HMU and let’s troubleshoot it :)

I’m gonna bet you have some writing friends out there in the same boat. Reach out to them to see what worked!

And lastly, you don’t have to go it alone. I love working with authors to help them refine their fight scenes. Wanna know more?

Oooof writing violence can be tough sometimes! And while internet searches and friends with medical experience are helpful, it’s not *quite* the same as violence with intention. But never fear!

First off, totally normal to have a writing Achilles heel. Everyone has one.

Secondly…

Rocket says he hopes you’re finding time for snuggles amidst the madness ❤️

We love a growly MMC #audiobooksky

Thorns N' Roses - Human Voices Only (April 17th) Hello! Thank you so much for participating in Human Voices Only, an event that brings the book community together to express the value of human narrators over AI. As a reminder, any author can partic...

If you’re frustrated by AI audiobooks and don’t like KDP using “virtual voices” for audiobooks, join #humanvoicesonly
I’m participating and will narrate 250-300 words from you book or WIP and feature it on April 17th. F0rm in the comments!

Date night: tacos, hard cider, and axe throwing

This is speculation, but why else would KDP/Audible/Amazon want your manuscript? They know AI audiobooks aren’t top-sellers. To me, this seems like predatory behavior on authors who can’t afford to produce audiobooks with human voices. What do you think?

Lovely!
