Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

I'm so honored to share that TWO of my book covers are in the GCLS Tee Corinne finals! Madison Brake's art is phenomenal and absolutely perfect for these books. If you have a moment, please look through the finalists and cast a vote! tinyurl.com/5c5knwtv #sapphicromance #GCLS #sapphicfantasy

Two books side by side: The Pull of the Tide and Di-Curious. The cover art is by the same artist, Madison Brake. The Pull of the Tide features a pirate and a mermaid under blue-green water. Both have long hair, one dark and one gold. Di-Curious has two horned people, one with shoulder length pink hair and one with short teal hair. The pink haired one has her hand on the other's armor. They're in front of a library with various statues of dragons, pride flags, a Nintendo Switch, and books.

4 pictures of eunnie's characters, momo and pg, snuggled together in bed. pic 1: pg lies on her stomach with a pillow under her chin, scrolling through her phone. momo spoons her back, dozing off on top of her. pic 2: pg is on her back, looking at her phone over momo's head, while momo lies between her legs, resting her head on her chest. pic 3: the girls lie on their sides facing each other, momo's leg slung around pg's hip. pg leans her head on one hand, gazing down at her girlfriend. and finally, pic 4: pg is on her hands and knees in an attempt to get up, but momo stubbornly hangs on, arms around her neck and legs wrapped around her waist. pg can't help but laugh as she clings to her.

It’s another cold, rainy day here. The Main Character woke us demanding to know where all her warm lake hikes have gone. Spring is coming, girl. I promise. You won’t always have to break the ice off the river to go for a swim. #dogsky

Having fun reading my book "The Librarian's Gargoyle" a queer open mic night at Ginger's Revenge in Asheville, NC. youtu.be/0PlIw8lbtq4 This is why authors hire narrators. 😆 Look for the audiobook narrated by Abby Craden in spring 2025.
