I love the niche of being a spice-free author but there are aspects of it I didn't expect. Spice is ESSENTIAL for some people, and that never even crossed my mind. I support it. But please don't insult spice-free. I don't insult spicy because both are valid and based entirely on personal preference.

I'm celebrating my birthday/publishing anniversary with some author besties! There will be multiple authors vending throughout the day: WHEN: Sunday, February 15, 2026, 10am-6pm WHERE: Bundok Books - 3827 S Meridian, Puyallup, WA 98373 #booksky #authorsky #bookevent #authorevent

How do you decide which books to keep/donate? I have a LOT of books, so pruning and carefully growing my library is essential. I try not to go too book buying crazy, but I'm weak for my fellow indies authors' books. #booksky #bookishthings #bookish

The Shield is available through the Libby App at Sno-Isle Libraries! When you request a book through your library, especially an indie author's book, you make their entire day. Supporting indies AND supporting your library is vital for the arts and much better than supporting big corporations. #book

Do I Regret Self-Publishing? Both trad and indie are valid forms of publishing, you just have to choose which one is better for you, personally, to pursue. And for me, that was being an indie author. #authorsky #indieauthor #booksky

Do you prefer 1st or 3rd person point of view? The POV in a book is a powerful narration tool and has to be used correctly. I like a fun 1st person POV where it feels like the character is talking directly to me and I love a 3rd person POV where I can see things a bit differently. #booksky #author

Why I'm glad I deleted TikTok. I enjoy posting regularly and am going to try to find a new rhythm that works for me. #booksky #authorsky #tiktok #tiktokban #socialmedia

Do you prefer happily ever afters? I originally had a different ending in mind for The Shield, but I'm so committed to having things end happily (and I cried so hard just trying to write it), that I scrapped the idea. Give me a happily ever after any day of the week. #booksky

I guess I’m not shocked that the Republicans I grew up with ended up not really caring about small government or states’ rights or, like, NATO. But I’m genuinely surprised and disappointed they haven’t distanced themselves from this tacky nonsense.
