It’s the week before my new book releases aka time to break out in stress hives and cry until it’s out πŸ˜…πŸ€£ this is my fourth release and I don’t think I’ll ever stop freaking out

My extreme horror short Lantern has reached 50 ratings over on Goodreads a week before the sequel releases! πŸ–€

TikTok isn’t the same and I don’t trust how long it will remain. I will still post there because, well, I worked really hard building that following, but I will no longer rely on that one app alone as much as I did before it went dark

Torch releases one week from today (1/27) available for digital preorder now for 0.99 on the Zon
Figured I would share some teasers β€” Torch is filled with a lot of β€œfirsts”. My first Epigraph, my first book with actual chapter names, and my first ever published sequel!

So many new friends! Yay. Just to let you know, The Masks We Wear is free on Amazon right now. So grab your copy and escape into our world, but better. We'll, until the gnomes are threatened that we dare share information the way we do.

I keep getting notifications from Lemon8 and TT that I obviously cannot open and that is the ultimate insult 🫑🀣

I have a release next week and honestly going from marketing my book to my 1700+ following to less than 200 is kind of a gut punch πŸ˜… it’s weird starting all over again

Trying to stay positive today, so here’s a positive. My extreme horror short Lantern is just one rating away from 50 on Goodreads, pretty cool!

iMovie has done me well for YouTube so far, hoping that maybe between canva and some other app I can find something that works for my other platform needs πŸ₯Ή

Serious question β€” as someone who has primarily used both TikTok and CapCut only to edit videos the past two years, what can I use now? πŸ₯Ή

I don’t know if it’s because I’m AuDHD or because I’ve made TikTok my entire personality for the past 2 years. But I’ve already tried to impulse open the app a dozen times.

Im not okay

Torch is coming soon, and it’s a bit different from Lantern. The revenge story you never asked for, centered around two brothers, some f’ed up parents, a body or two, and even a little dash of romance. If you read horror, you should give it a go!

THIS. I’m so glad I’m not the only one. I’m all for supporting other small businesses, but this is not the way.

2025 is proving to be filled with new opportunities already, both exciting and scary ones. Lots to consider these next few days and weeks

Same here! Anything over 2x is usually too much but 1.5-2 is my sweet spot depending on the narrator
