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

If someone holds beliefs that go against my morals, I don't need their support. 🤷🏻♀️ So no, I don't care about my views affecting my "reputation." Books are political. Reading a...

As authors, we love our readers and meeting/alking to you. We do book events and love them, but they're exhausting. We are "on" the entire time, which is extra hard for more introverted authors- and most authors ARE introverted. Please treat authors you meet with grace at events. #booksky
Why do I write spice-free? Because I want to and it fills a niche. I don't like spice-free literature being labeled as "clean." Spice isn't dirty or immoral, it's a fact of life. Spicy reads aren't more mature because of their content and spice-free reads don't have any sort of moral claim #booksky
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 like multi-POV books? I LOVE multi-POV, it can be so fun! #booksky #authorsky #bookishquestions #indieauthor

Do you eat while reading? I never ate while reading because I was always worried about getting the book dirty, but that could be a me problem. I'm kind of a messy eater. 🤣 #booksky
I LOVED the book How to Break Up With Your Phone by Catherine Price! It was helpful in showing me why I have such a hard time putting down my phone and habits that lead to it becoming such a time suck. I'm donating my copy to the book swap at the Spring Book Fair this Staurday in Puyallup. #booksky
Today is my birthday and the 1 year anniversary of me publishing The Shield. I've learned a lot over this last year and I'm grateful for even more. Chase your dreams. Life is too short to tell yourself no if you're able to tell yourself yes. 💙💛 #booksky #authorsky #writersky

The truth will out. Now we begin to learn of the abuse inflicted on the activists by Ben Gvir and his henchmen. These people are demons. Our governments are no better as they support this state.
Idaho’s Senate Judiciary Committee looked like it was on LSD when it killed HB 668. The House passed it 68–1. Do the basics: wellness check, investigation, report. Too much accountability, apparently. #IdahoFamilyCourt #HB668 #WellnessCheckWeekends https://loom.ly/jK-kFY4
