For years, I’ve held onto a toaster from my grandmother’s kitchen. I’ve never used it. I’ve never let it go. This week, I finally asked why. It’s not really about the toaster. It’s about memory, identity, and the weight of objects we’ve outgrown.

A Ward of the State will be released on June 1. I’m offering advance copies to reviewers. It explores surveillance, control, and the fight for freedom. Curious how the series began? You can also grab earlier books on StoryOrigin. Request copies: storyoriginapp.com/reviewcopies... #JuneRelease
RC Readers Wanted!
My newest novel, A Ward of the State, launches June 1st—and I’m looking for early reviewers.

It’s a bold, character-driven dystopia about state surveillance, forced obedience, and what it really costs to be free. If you enjoy books like The Handmaid’s Tale or 1984, you’ll feel right at home in this world.

You can also grab the earlier books in the series if you're curious how it all began. Reviews on any title are always welcome.

Every review helps more than you know. Thank you for supporting indie authors.

Sam grew up in a quiet neighborhood in Mequon, just north of Milwaukee. The house on Crescent Hill sat at the edge of a small lake, tucked into one of those neighborhoods where the lawns are always mowed, the mailboxes all match, and the HOA has opinions about everything. #TheFatherhoodMandate

Every morning, we feed the squirrels and the birds. And, every morning the grackles beat the squirrels to the pile of squirrel food and strut around the backyard like they own it. Poor squirrels.

I experimented with letting go of time last week. No rigid schedule. No alarms. Just flow, pizza, and quiet productivity. It’s wild how freeing it is to stop checking the clock. #LifeWithoutTheClock #ReclaimYourTime #LettingGo

Just poking through my files and found this PSA. A friend of mine wrote it for me when I was struggling with The Fatherhood Mandate. Sam's reaction: Sam turned away in disgust. What the fuck? An entire commercial that glamorized forcing people into parenthood? And people believed it?

My mom’s advice for this series was simple: Never wait to be rescued. Princesses can slay their own damn dragons! That advice landed up in The Unborn Child Protection Act series…and in my store. Just use the discount code ‘Princess’ to get the 25% discount. Thanks, Mom!!

I've only started tearing into...I mean...editing my manuscript but I'm already yelling at myself. Protagonist is 12 years old. I absolutely get that. BUT, I need to tone it down! :muttering about needing a whole lot more coffee:

Today's mood brought to you by a rather bad Section 31 movie. If you need me, I'll have ST Discovery on. I need to see the Emperor as she was meant to be played. Computer, hot latte, stat!!

I'm a bit lost with BlueSky. People are posting their accounts but I can't seem to find them. Plus, I need a feed of *just* friends so I can better keep up with my peeps. Any suggestions or FAQs that can help the 'tech challenged'?

Last night's dreams brought to you by an attack duck! We had 3 ducklings in this dream. One of them took one look at a chair on my deck, and went into full attack mode. Quackquackquackquack!! Tried to separate duckling and chair but couldn't seem to get a grip. Strangest dream ever!
