Jennifer, I love that you keep checking back. That makes my writer heart very happy. I’m still in the “slow reveal” phase, but more info is on its way as the project settles into its final form. I promise you won’t have to refresh forever. ✌️🧡

Yay! Thanks, Jennifer 🤜💥🤛

Believe in yourself. Ferment your potential. Follow your starch. ✌️🥔

Thanks, Arthur! I’m having a great time researching and shaping this one.

Hi Christina,

My sci-fi novel, Infinite Night Eyes, is out autumn 2026 w/ Black Spring Press. I'd be happy to send you a galley when they're available.

Thanks! 💙💛

Ha! Yeah, even I didn’t see that coming. My debut is literary sci-fi. But the heart writes what the heart wants to write. Right?

Agreed. The problem isn’t the clock. It’s how much of our inner life we’ve handed over to it.

Exactly. Tiny mechanical tyrants. We built clocks to measure life and somehow ended up measuring ourselves against them.

This sounds fantastic. Public reading is a whole different art form. Count me in.

Thank you, Sonia! 🤜💥🤛

True.

Cayse!! Thank you. I’m still buzzing…and trying not to fast-forward to 2027 🤸‍♂️🤸🤸‍♀️

Thank you, Soph! ✌️🧡

Sounds good. Let’s chat.

Thanks, J ✌️🧡

Ha! A potato is a shot of vodka in its most wholesome form. Thanks for reading through my posts!✌️🧡

Spot on, Kathie! The “labor-saving” device is history’s biggest bait-and-switch. We don’t save time; we fill the gap with higher expectations. In urban planning it’s called “induced demand”—widening a road invites more cars until it’s jammed again. Precisely the logic the book explores! 🎯

Exactly. I like to think books we enjoy all carry shared strands of DNA, recombining into new meanings as we read.

Magdalena & Ashe’s work is a gold mine of quotable lines.

Thank you, Lillian! ✌️🧡

Thanks so much, Amanda. It’s a varied bunch, but they all talk to each other in interesting ways.

Ahh, obsessed with this cover. It’s stunning. So ready for this one. 🌀‿🌀

Thanks so much, Megan! ✌️🧡
