Throwback Thursday: Martyr

Context: In 2019 (and one of the years following) I had the GREAT pleasure of attending a Vampire the Masquerade, Sabbat focused, immersive LARP event put on by Jackalope Studios. Real life and the cost of a ticket, hotel, and travel mean I haven’t been able to do a lot of their events since, butContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Martyr”

Throwback Thursday: Wand

Originally shared over on my Ko-fi a few weeks ago. But, it’s another Thursday, so THROWBACK. If you want to support the cause and are in the US, ordering a physical copy from me directly is the best way to do so. Otherwise, the e-book is currently a KU exclusive (through the end of June),Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: Wand”

Week 1: Well, We did it!

It’s been a week since my first novella has been available in the public for people to buy and read. Considering my marketing is largely me shouting on social media and interacting with other broke indie authors, it’s honestly gone a little bit better than I even though it might! I wanted to be asContinue reading “Week 1: Well, We did it!”

Baby’s First Shipwreck

Or: Where Mace Briefly talks about finishing their masters. And then you get a story. WE ARE DONE THANK THE GODS That’s right. Earlier this month, I officially finished my last term of my MA in creative writing. There is a whole lot I could say, and there is an equal amount of what IContinue reading “Baby’s First Shipwreck”

I’m self publishing my first novella within the next few months and I couldn’t be more excited. Especially with the state of the…Everything here as an openly queer author who tellsContinue reading “Blurb and Preview of My Novella!”

Self Publishing Diaries: Getting Started

Three weeks ago, I got downsized out of my day job. Sorrows. Prayers. Six weeks of severance pay before panic sets in. Since then, I’ve started taking more seriously the idea of self-publishing a series of novellas that I’ve been working on for the better part of the last 18+ months. I’ve taken a classContinue reading “Self Publishing Diaries: Getting Started”

Inaccessable Academia

Look, I’m not trying to get published in an acedmic journal with most of my work, so I think I am allowed to say this: Analytical writing is absolutely one of the most difficult things and most of the time I hate it. Yeah I’ll joke as a writer about the fact that sometimes theContinue reading “Inaccessable Academia”

Spring

She felt her heartbeat slow as she watched the ice begin to melt outside of the walls of her husband’s home. The warming temperatures were always the first sign that soon, her mother would come to collect her. She turned away quickly, as if no longer looking would make it untrue. But she knew fullContinue reading “Spring”

Solitude

The King and Queen had sent dozens, what felt like hundreds, of their knights to go and retrieve their daughter from the citadel where she was kept. None of them had prevailed, and a good portion of them had not come back at all. The ones that did were in one piece, but seemed toContinue reading “Solitude”

School

The old schoolhouse was a relic of another time. Nature had begun to reclaim it, vines growing over the remnants of the walls and creeping up through the broken floorboards. The other buildings of the settlement had been fully lost in a fire along with three quarters of the people that had lived there. But,Continue reading “School”
