3 new stories now available!
What I've been up to:I had 3 short stories come out in September! All 3 were released in the span of a week, so I'm still catching up on all the marketing for them. One was a complete surprise, too!
What I'm working on:Though I won't be officially participating in NaNoWriMo this year given everything that's happening with that organization, I still love the rhythm of planning out a novel in October and writing it in November. As the days get cooler and the nights get longer, my brain finally kicks into gear after the miserable summer slump, and it's a nice way to fill the time leading up to the holidays and new year. I'm not going to let the implosion of the NaNoWriMo organization stop me from writing 50K in November. So, you can check out my planning and writing progress on Twitter these next couple of months - and feel free to join me! The Latest:Latest Read:You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian, which is set in the same universe as We Could Be So Good. I love a good queer historical novel, and both of these were engaging reads that managed to hold my very short attention span. Latest Watch:"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" on Hulu. I love watching shows about messy rich people, and this was so messy and delicious. Highly bingeable. What's Next:I signed up to participate in the Halloween issue of Shousetsu Bang*Bang, so I'm going to be stretching my erotica writing muscles in October. I also have a story coming out later this year through the Blackwick Writers Guild, and another coming out from TL;DR Press. Stay tuned! |
