Currently reading this classic set in Feudal Japan. The writing is a bit antiquated but the historical accuracy of the shogunate is impressive. Enjoying my read so far! #shogun #booksky #historicalfiction #jamesclavell

It feels great to finally sit down and get back to the third round of edits of Book 3 of the Amaranth series after a long hiatus. This instalment has been taking longer than usual but I will make an announcement in the coming weeks/months that is worth the wait. Are you ready to board the Ark?

Had an absolute blast at Ottawa Can*Con this year! 🔥 Huge thanks to the organizers for choosing the beautiful Brookstreet Hotel as the new venue and to everyone who stopped by our booth to chat, discover new stories, and help us keep lighting the flame of speculative fiction. ✨ #CanCon2025 #Hopepunk

Getting back onto the edits of Promised Land, book 3 of the Amaranth series, before Can*Con officially kicks off. It feels good to be back into this universe after a *very* long hiatus. Hopefully I can finish this third draft soon so I can send it to my editor. ✏️

Guess what I did first thing when I got to Ottawa? I rushed to the first Indigo I could find and got myself the latest book by Marie Lu, the author who really got me into YA. I couldn’t bear the thought of having nothing to read since I’m finishing up The Last Phi Hunter by Salinee Goldberg.

Nearly 2 years after having the idea of a bonus epilogue for my book North Star, I have officially started writing down this scene that’s been haunting me ever since. It felt GOOD! Now this breather will help me push through Promised Land so it can finally see the light of day 🌟 #Booksky #Amaranth

I’ve been creating digital extras for my Amaranth series and it’s been a lot of fun sharing my creative journey and adding some personal commentary on the story and the characters. Here’s my question for you #Booksky is there anything I should absolutely include in those extras that readers love?

Sometimes we forget that the characters and stories we write about are a reflection of our own lives and traumas. How eye-opening is it to be able to stare at yourself in the mirror and start learning and growing yourself. To live your own character arc. #booksky #growing #selfhealing

So I’ve been trying out Hello Fresh this week and I’ve gotta say it feels nice to eat differently for a change. I still need to figure out how to aim for the estimated cooking time because I overthink every step of the process but overall I haven’t screwed any recipe. I guess that’s a win 😊 😋
