Attended a town hall with Pete Buttigieg in Tulsa last night and Oklahomans are ready for change!

Today I dropped my youngest off at school likely for the last time. She got her license. So many mom moments we take for granted, and then, they’re just gone. 🥺

Exactly 3 weeks until my life changes in a big way. Leaving education for good, as well as freelance writing, and taking the leap to write books and help my husband with his new business. Really hoping for an offer on my book on sub SOON!

All of the republican gubernatorial candidates in Oklahoma brag about how they’re with Trump in their ads. 🤮 Really hoping this bites them in the ass hard. Even here in the reddest state of all, support for the pedophile-in-chief is fading.

As someone who’s written 6 books, was in the query trenches for yrs, was dropped by my 1st agent, & has been on sub twice now, I’ve dealt w/ my fair share of imposter syndrome. But I just listened to my book currently on sub on the Speechify app & damn, it’s good. Someone better snatch it up soon. 😏

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

Found it very difficult to teach kids math today when the president is ranting about destroying an entire civilization. Please know that sane, decent Americans do not support him or this war.

Was excited to go to a big used book sale yesterday where you pay $10 to fill a big bag with as many books as you can. Then extremely disappointed to find it was mainly evangelical Christian and right wing political books. Should have expected that in small town Oklahoma I guess. 🙄

So many people looking to make a quick buck off of writers. They want to feature you on their website. Review your book for a fee. Market your book on social media. If I took everyone up on these offers I'd be wayyy into the negative & they'd do next to nothing to actually promote me & my books.

The sign at the edge of the shore read: “Women shall #conduct themselves in a respectable manner. Swimwear should be modest, covering the entirety of the torso, bosom, and rear end.” “Oh yeah?” She smirked, then stripped down to nothing at all before racing into the water with glee. #vss365

I always feel untethered when I’m in a period of not-writing. Currently on sub with one book and waiting for my agent to read another and trying to figure out what to work on next. Weird space to be in.

As a child, she was fascinated by the macabre, tossing crickets into spider webs, eager to watch them die; keeping her lost teeth in a jar on her dresser; playing for hours at the local cemetery. Now she seems a well-adjusted adult, her obsession with death only apparent in her stories. #vss365

I once thought the Great Divide was a place that parted rivers east to west to opposite oceans But now I know it’s a fascist ploy, the oldest known to man “Fear the other, your enemy!” they say and many listen But the thing about the Great Divide is it only works if we let it. #vss365

I love how libraries often recommend my book, saying similar to The Inheritance Games (also by an Oklahoma author!). Not Our Summer isn’t a mystery, but it does have a pretty spectacular twist if I do say so myself.

Reminder the Senate is expected to vote on the Save America Act this week. Please contact your senator and urge them to vote no. You may be seeing a lot of apparent “support” for the bill on social media, but it is not organic. Bot accounts have been flooding senators pages urging them to vote yes.
