If you finished Consanguinity, you probably have questions. Where is J.T.? What happens next? And what, exactly, did that ending mean? Those are very good questions Synchronicity, Book Two of The Veilshard Chronicles, is underway. And the story is about to get a whole lot bigger. #booksky

Reader Review There is something especially wonderful about hearing that someone couldn't stop reading because they needed to know what happened next. And, um… sorry not sorry about that ending. Consanguinity: Book One of The Veilshard Chronicles is available now. #booksky

I'm teaching a HERSTORY class next semester and I'm hoping to drum up some nore interest. The pictures are scattered on the bulletin board because that is how the class is going to be. Not chronological, not regional or even topic. Just me talking about amazing women. #teachersky

You didn't really think I was going to leave you with that cliffhanger forever, did you? The Veilshard Chronicles continues with SYNCHRONICITY. J.T. is gone. Aisling wants answers. And Nutfield isn't finished with any of them yet. I'm writing Book Two now. 👀 #booksky

Good morning! Monday showed up again—rude, but predictable. Keep the coffee nearby, deploy the teacher stare only when necessary, and remember: you don’t have to solve everything today. Just keep moving. You’ve got this. 💜

There are apparently two options when you finally figure out a scene in the shower: 1. Finish getting dressed like a normal person. 2. Sit down at the computer immediately before the idea escapes. I think we all know which one I chose. 😂 Synchronicity isn't going to write itself. #booksky

Evidence J.T. Walker should not be left unsupervised: The Homecoming Incident. His plan was questionable. His vocabulary abandoned him. Eric had to intervene. He used the phrase “stake my claim” in front of her father. And somehow...HE GOT THE DATE. Meet J.T. and Aisling in Consanguinity #booksky

I use AI. It doesn't write my books, teach my students, or do my thinking for me. Using a tool ≠ outsourcing your creativity. We need real conversations about AI ethics—not witch hunts over what someone MAY have done. And yes, the image is AI. The blog post isn't. traciejoy.com/2026/09/30/e...

Good morning! Monday has entered the chat without permission. Fortunately, you’ve got caffeine, competence, and a glare that could stop nonsense at 30 paces. Do what matters, ignore what doesn’t, and go own the day. 💜

POV: J.T. has once again attempted to talk to Aisling like a normal human being. It did not go well. Fortunately, Eric is always there to offer the kind of loving, supportive friendship that mostly consists of laughing at him. 😂 #booksky
