In case you didn’t notice the WIP progress bar on the sidebar over there, I FINISHED the first draft of Intoxication (Firmament Book 9) today! I’m really proud of my consistency in getting it done, and while it definitely needs work, I’m overall happy with how it turned out. In honor of this momentous occasion, I found an excerpt that…
If you’ve been listening to my podcast, you know that I finished the first draft of book eight in the Firmament series recently; a book called Humanoid. Now that Firmament: Eleftheria is complete on Kindle Vella, I’m ready to start thinking about revisions on Humanoid. I think it’s actually one of my better first drafts.

Andi is not amused, and the…

No acceptances so far, but I enjoy submitting, so…
A couple years ago, I started a project called October for National Novel Writing Month. It was a novel, and a very personal one.
