What is book-shaming? Book-shaming is the act of making others feel embarrassed, intellectually inferior, or just less than you, because of whatthey enjoy or do not enjoy reading. Is it a thing? For people who read a lot, or were/are English majors, or holdwriting degrees, yes! It’s a thing for others too, but this topic […]
There are a lot of negative news reports out lately about police officers, so I want to share my positive–and very awesome might I add– experience with the police. If you don’t talk to me on the real, you don’t know that I just got a brand new phone after an Uber driver tried to […]
The last time I wrote an entry, I was telling you all about my Rone Award finalist status. Since then, I’ve put together a costume to cosplay one of my characters, Desiri Lilias (who you’ll meet in The Third Gambit), bought my first Square and cash box to take to conventions so I can sell […]
I’ve been waiting for pretty graphics to use before I made this announcement! A little before The Fourth Piece came out, I was shipping the ARC around for reviews.

I had to blog today, because I feel that I must share this um…well, I don’t quite know how to describe my recent transactions with the post office. I’m just gonna take it from the top and let you all decide what you’d call it. So, a friend of mine purchased a copy of The […]
Yes, yes, I’m no stranger to showing my age these days it seems. But you know what? Nineties kids had some of the best sayings, and a lot of our phrases are back… or never really left. I promised that the next time you heard from me, I’d have party pictures. Well, you know what? […]
It has been a little while since I blogged last. But come on, even you have to admit I’m not as bad as I used to be :P. So much is going on. Work has been so crazy busy. I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. I know why some people […]
What is “nicety”? Nicety, pronounced nice-stee, is a mash-up of the words “nice” and “nasty”. To be nicety means to literally kill with kindness. When someone is awful to you, you respond in your kindest tone with the sweetest look on your face, using your most proper and polite diction… with a subtle undertone of […]
