I was thrilled to learn today that my piece “Fictus” was selected as a Nikki Hanna Literary Challenge finalist for @emerge-magazine.com! The short story about fake art is one of my favorites and I’m glad it has found a home. #shortstory #writing

The Fableists was one of the 1st books I wrote & then rewrote & now finally, rewrote again. Narrated by five siblings, The Fableists is about what truth should and shouldn’t be. Meet Adam, Sean, Shannon, Deuce, & Corrie. (Hilariously, there’s a 4 pic limit. Poor Corrie) #author #fiction #queerbooks

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

The Pitch!
It’s the end of a hot Iowan summer, and twenty-four-year-old Matilda West is gearing up for her sophomore year of college at Oak Ridge University. A scholarship student, she is swayed by the suggestion of her favorite professor to join a study group he’s created for his Classical Mythology course. The students in the group adopt her quickly, but Matilda’s past has made her wary and anxious of new people and their intentions.
When she finds herself drawn toward two of the people in the group, including an unexplainable feeling like she’s met one of them before, Matilda is thrown in the middle of a situation she couldn’t have seen coming. Weird dreams and the fact that her life might not be what she thought it was force Matilda to question whether her fate was already decided, or if someone else is pulling the strings… How does one juggle school work, healing trauma, finding love, and supporting a diverse community, while also fighting for their fate and the rest of the world?

DON’T LET THE FOREST IN X TRULY, DEVIOUS When 15y/o Quinton finds a dead student being devoured by the forest infecting and killing him from within, he becomes a suspect in the case. But as he investigates the murder, he realises he may not be as innocent as he’s trying to prove. #2025Pit #YA #FM

A demon lord finds himself with an irresistible love for humans - like one would have for a pet. So, when one enters his domain, intent on taking his head as a trophy… He just can’t help himself, and, after defeating the younger man easily, begins his journey of “taming” this human… #2025pit

17 is hard, but when you're set to take over presidency from your father, survive a ☠️ attempt, are betrayed by the two you love & learn your role is to maintain peace by keeping 200yo lies & manipulating the public or start the biggest war in centuries, 17 is REALLY hard. #2025Pit #Q #YA #SF #LGBTQ
