What an awesome time at Potrero War! While I had unplugged and kept my phone off all weekend, my friends took some cool pics of my Venitian cosmetics class and selfies...also, Mrs. MeowMeow and Conifer date pics and googly-eyed tree! #mysca #potrerowar2025 #historicalrenactment #historicalcostuming

Lately, when I get stuck in words, I got out and work in my garden. It clears my brain and makes me feel closer to my dad and Grandpa in spirit. Not to mention it helps with getting my ideas cooking. #gardening #witchsgarden #authorlife

Ever cast your own characters? 🎬 If Siren's Song were a movie, I’d love to see Alan Ritchson as Jack, the grumpy 900 year old dragon with a soft heart. Who do you picture in your favorite books?

Music fuels my creativity. 🎵 Here’s the playlist behind Alchemy's Hunger Song 1: Renegade by Styx. Song 2: Kiss This by The Struts. Song 3: Make it Holy by The Staves. What’s a song that inspires your creative side?

Writing is all about the rituals. For me, it’s getting my desk set. I got my beverages (one hot one cold), my candle, my planner ready for my word could stickers and my play list that gets me in the mood. This puts me in my writer brain instantly. What’s one habit that keeps your creativity flowing?

Cynthia Diamond @cinsdiamond.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

Some things that brought me a little artsy spark while I was out and about San Diego. Sometimes finding small delights give me a little shot in the arm to create.

Story sparks can come from anywhere. Bardic and the Beast was inspired by play Dungeons and Dragons, with a sprinkling of venting of my feelings of todays world climate. Its been a good way for me to cope and write. What inspires your creative ideas?

Every great story has change. At the beginning, Tony Harris is self centered, arrogant mage. By the end of Alchemy's Hunger, they’ve become more compassionate and selfless...still arrogant though. ;) Watching characters grow is my favorite part of storytelling. What’s yours?

An appointment of mine was canceled while I was on the way there, but instead of going home, I hit one of my favorite coffee spots, got a pandam latte, and did some reading. I love when little things like this happen. What happy incidents have happened that sparked a little delight? #delight

There's a spot in La Mesa where someone leaves a heat made from rock and dirt. Everytime I pass it, the urge to create art hits me hard. This was the latest one and it filled me with joy. Just this little inspiration goes a long way. What little thing in your life inpsires you? #inspiration

Another sneak peek at Bardic and the Beast you ask? I say yes! Here's a little peek into Garrak's not so pure thoughts: I'll be reveling this amazing cover soon! #BardicandtheBeast #monsterromance #romantacy

So who got their New Year's card? I sent these out a few weeks ago and would love to know if you got yours (And would love it even more if you show me a pic too!) Did you like this year's featured couples? :)

Okay...who wants to join the Thirst Rangers? My friend Ty and I, who are both avid romance readers, really couldn't stop giggling at this.

Another Fun Teaser from Bardic and the Beast! What do you predict is next? #WIP #Bardicandthebeast

Ridley gave him a smile that lit her huge green eyes. Garrak’s lust forced him to soak in the freckles that spattered her cheeks and crept down her neck to her smooth, bared shoulders and in between her plump breasts. Her pink mouth was so full, her backside round and soft under those skirts no doubt. He wet his lips, fingers flexing with a need to bury his claws into that luscious ass.

Stuck in writer’s block? My go-to trick is from Lisa Kessler aka @ldydisney Throw in a dead body.... Okay, okay maybe not literally, but tossing in something improbable helps me get my brain rolling and hell, sometimes the "dead body" ends up working! What helps you when the words won’t flow? 💭

Its been rough and its only February. I'm working on taking care of myself over the next four years. Now, this isn't for everyone. And I'm still staying informed, donating, voting, and contacting my reps. I wanted to share incase you felt like you were lost in the spiral like me.

You stories matter. Feel like they don't? They do. They connect us, inspire us, and remind us of what’s possible. ✨ Tell that story. Write that book. Sing that song. THEY MATTER. What keeps you coming back to your creativity?

“Sneak peek alert! 👀 Here’s a tiny snippet from Bardic and the Beast: What do you think happens next?

So what’s your name?” Ridley asked. No reply, naturally. “Can you at least give me a name? Any name? Don’t even have to be your actual one.” Still no answer. “I can’t keep calling you, hey you. Or large one.” His lips were sealed as tight as a castle vault. She heaved a dramatic sigh. “Then I suppose I’ll have to make one up.”
‍
“Don’t you dare,” the orc grumbled.
‍
Finally, an answer.

When two outcasts accidentally find each other in a hash world, their lives change forever.

Siren's Song was inspired by the singer Adelle (Which is why the FMCs shares her name) It me wonder, what if her voice was so strong, it could destroy? And the only one who could help her tame that a power would be a sexy yet grumpy dragon? What unlikely place did you find inspiration? #Amwriting
