I snagged audiobooks to read more this year! Just as in prior years, I grabbed a huge library haul in October for spooky season. I also received several NetGalley ARCs of mysteries and thrillers throughout the year. But I had a lot of mysteries on my TBR list that I just wasn’t picking up since […]

Semi-busy. My husband’s laptop broke so he used mine for a while, college orientation for my son took me out of state for a couple days, and life has been generally a little busy. I’m not stressed. We’re not “too” busy, but the days are fuller than expected. My reading and writing time have been […]

In honor of Pride Month, here are my favorite queer books: SFF (Adult & YA) Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter world has many queer characters, but I love Alec and Magnus especially in The Bane Chronicles, The Red […]

And focusing on joy. In the bookish world, you can find a lot of opinions. That’s great when talking about honest (and respectful) book reviews. I enjoy seeing how the same book can impact readers in different ways. Every book is not intended for every reader. We all have personal tastes. But there are also […]

So here’s a reading update. My writing group finished their critique of Dreamcatcher and I’ve submitted the first chapter of the next book in series, Dreamweaver. I haven’t written anything new in so long, but I hope to get back to creating new worlds and adventures this week. Despite 2025 giving the Green family multiple […]

Won’t go away. Two weeks ago, I posted about my plan to write something new. The next day my son became very ill. Two days after that, my husband and I fell ill within an hour of each other. Luckily, our almost-eighteen-year-old didn’t catch it as well. He cleaned the house and took care of […]

Stopped my progress. Last month, I successfully swept through Dreamcatcher and Dreamweaver, and dove into Dreamkeeper. I’m still only making minor edits, checking how the 4-book series flows and reminding myself of the ultimate endgame of this story since my writing group will soon start to critique book two. Unfortunately, 2025 already hit my family […]

As strong as possible. Red Hour is in the hands of three beta readers and I’m so excited! I reread it before I sent it off to add some specific questions at the end, and was glad to see that I still really love this story. I’m looking forward to the improvements I can make […]
