I should be writing the sequel to Better Off Dead. But I cant stop moving the skeletons in my front lawn into different poses for me own amusement. #sorrynotsorry #skeletons #halloween

I don’t know when it happened. But two years ago, I was emotionally fulfilled in my day job, and now all I wanna do is daydream about aliens, cupcakes, and write about a female protagonist, who makes no apologies for being a bad bitch.  #indieauthor #writing #booksky #bookish #booktok

Is it weird that most of my published writing has been for dead people? I mean, kickass dead people. Obviously. But dead all the same. Just call me the #obituaryqueen 👑 #writing #booksky 🤷‍♀️ #weird

My son watched a true cliffhanger for the first time. When it ended he looked around, baffled. “They forgot to finish it,” he said. 😂👻💀

I don’t know how to build a following. Nor how to cook the perfect chicken piccata. But I can DoorDash a full BBQ menu for 8 people without blinking an eyelash. And write the perfect death scene right before bed. So there’s that. #bookish #Indieauthor #booktok #writing #weirdbuttrue #booksky

It wasn’t the stars in her eyes that stole his heart. It was the snap of her wrist as she slapped the cupcake out of his hand, that really sealed the deal. #booksky #drabble #bookish #writing #indieauthor

My illustrator is finally working on the cover and the interior design of Better Off Dead. I was pumped until she asked me for my final manuscript. And then I decided to read all of it one more time just to be safe. #therebeedits #indieauthor #bookish #bookstagram #sendhalp #writing #newrelease

Some people are already getting mad about pumpkin spice season, saying it’s not even spooky season yet. The skeleton that’s been sitting in my yard for the past 12 months disagrees. #spookyandlovingit #halloween 💀👻

My husband's not much of a reader. I can't even get him to read #dungeoncrawlercarl. I'm considering divorce. Will file with a reason of 'cannot live with someone who does not know the name #PrincessDonut' I mean..come on dude. #booksky #booktok #dcc #reading

Them: You have a very strong FMC voice. Where does that come from? Me: ...My inside thoughts become outside thoughts and voila. ✨ Them: That's a bit...concerning. 💯 But it makes for a delightfully unhinged read 📖🤣👽 #Indieauthor #booksky #booktok #writing #authorproblems #betteroffdead

I need a single button for design, market, print, ship, and publish...my book. Oh. Also need it to go viral so I can quit my day job. Not asking for much really... If AI figures out how to do all THAT I'll kill John Conner myself. Apocalypse be damned. #Indiaauthor #booksky #booktalk #Illbeback

I wish I could say my book is a literary masterpiece...it's not. But I snorted milk out of my nose and LOL'd after reading the first few chapters. I may not get a Pulitzer, but I can almost guarantee I'll get a "holy shit" and a maniacal giggle from a reader who gets it. 🎉 #booksky #booktok

It's not that I like following up emotional scenes with a joke. My childhood trauma makes me unintentionally hilarious when innards are spilled across the pages of my latest draft. ✌️ I make no apologies. We all have our crosses to bear. 😅 #booksky #booktok #authorvibes #whattrauma #writing #bod

Anyone else miss the Stephanie Plum type of literary chaos. Yeah, me too. I’m bringing it back with my new novel #betteroffdead But instead of bounty hunters and fried chicken - we’ve got aliens and cupcakes. #staytuned #booksky #betteroffdead #newbooks #indieauthor #writing

Went to the library today. Entrance was blocked because the sidewalk was under construction. Wasn’t the first time I was worried - unable to return books - but certainly the first time I’ve spun in a circle ten times mumbling to myself while there were witnesses. 🤷‍♀️ 📚 #booksky #bookish #library

three sisters. one job. ⚡ Vara: the creator (hibernating). 🌍 Andromeda: the shield (bedazzling humanity). 💅 Meteora: the weapon (unhinged occupant of my fmc's head). 🖤 "we're merely more evolved." — Andromeda, between sips of her margarita. #booksky #indieauthor #bookish #betteroffdead #indie

raven: has one job & it involves not getting in trouble. meanwhile, venom: bloodletting 🩸😏 killian: show up in time for his own execution. 😘 andromeda: jammin to Taytay while sharpening blades. 💅 me: trying to keep the hinge on but we don't even have a door. #booksky #fantasy #bookish #comingsoon

killian showed up to his own execution in a tricorn hat. no plan. no backup. just vibes and a firm belief he was not going to die today. 🏴‍☠️ (he was correct. annoyingly.) unbothered and inexplicably unkillable. our favorite combination. #betteroffdeadbook #writing #booksky #bookish #fantasy #once

meet Raven. ☕🖤 owns one pair of sparkly purple combat boots. touch them. i dare you. 🥾💜 is actually a chaos magnet in a denim jacket. Miss Congeniality — but urban fantasy. with an alien squatting in her brain. #booksky #betteroffdeadbook #writing #writingcommunity #urbanfantasy #bookish

pros of giving your love interest a scottish accent: 🏴‍☠️ 🌶️ cons: googling "do people with accents think in their accent." is really it worth it?? "Aye" — Killian #booksky #betteroffdeadbook #authorlife #writingmemes #bookish #writingmemes #writing

For me, it's a Disney trip or another getaway. Feels like going from one fictional world to another, kind of easing back into reality. How do you reward yourself after typing "the end"? #writing #writingcommunity #writer #writers #novel #shortfiction #amquerying
