Somehow it's Saturday! Which means I have another video talking about a book.
This one features discussions of rage, nuance, and chapter length!

Guess what?
My new book is officially on sale!
It's about a young woman named Rissa who has to fight in the Coliseum to earn her freedom. Luckily she is a damn good fighter.
It's got a romance subplot, a bit of magic, and an empire teetering on the edge of imploding. You know, the good stuff.
It's Saturday, So I'm here to babble about a book!
This one features nuanced Religious trauma, complicated relationships, and all the moral grayness! But for Middle Grade!

Awww! Thank you! I'm so proud is finally getting out there!
Happy Saturday! Let me tell you about a book!
This one features folklore, sweet creepiness, and things that FEEL anachronistic...

Aww! Thank you!
It's Saturday and I have thoughts on books!
Check out my thoughts on Wuthering Heights, though I warn a lot of it is just ranting. But I also talk about unlikable characters, manipulating reader empathy, and framing devices!

It's Saturday! And that means I get to gush about a book!
Come listen to me talk about weaving history into fiction, choreographing drama, and Conflict

"Well, there will be boobs & likely a few dildos."
She flinches a little & turns back to her kids, 1 of whom starts cheering, "WE'RE GOING TO SEE BEWBS!!!"
As a preview:
While i was waiting for my tour guests to finish their bar break, a family walked by. The mom asked me where the parade would be. I gave her directions & explained, "It's not really a family friendly parade, though."
She replied, "I've heard. How bad are we talking?"
That's not a bad idea. 😁
Up and down is saturation, right?
The camel's back has been broken for a WHILE and they keep adding straw.
The camel is buried in straw and every new straw is still horrifying
I just have trouble finding teaser blurbs in general.
It's Saturday. I have a book video for you
If you need a break, come watch me talk about a horny ghost, balanced endings, and bald exposition.

Happy Saturday!!! It's the day I babble about a book!
Today's book is a pretty well known one, and if you want to hear me gush about themes, building characters who aren't on the page, and how simple writing can be the most complex thing ever, come on over!

I swear I used to be able to write and record a video and still get other things done all in one night.
Where did my productivity go?
I am anxiety
and cheese dip.
Should not have eaten that cheese dip
It's Saturday! And thank goodness I recorded this video before I got sick, because this cold will not let me go!
But watch me talk about a light playful romance that reminded me of all the movies I loved to watch around Halloween as a kid, but told in a Pratchett-esque tone

New Saturday! New video about a book!
This one features trauma, blank check characters, some of my favorite themes of telling fate to f-off, and the desire for a trilogy.

My first long-form video of the year is a vlog about my author's journey! I don't do a lot of these, but if you are curious about how my sales are going, what I've done marketing wise, and where I'm planning to go next, this one's for you!

Is it Saturday? That means I get to talk about a book!
Let me tell you about one that I am not the target audience of, the setting was spectacular, and then babble about information flow for like ten minutes

I didn't sleep much last night and all I got was a headache, so take the win. :)
Hey look! It's Saturday!
Which means I get to tell y'all about what I've been reading! This one will talk about voice in prose, fairy tale vibes, and plot structures with multiple hills and valleys.

It's cold out, which means all I want to do is eat soup and be soup*
*soak in a hot bath for hours
Happy Saturday! Let me tell you about a book!
This one will involve talk of structure, simple yet elegant prose, and the use of stories in stories! And dragons!
