Trigger Warnings/Content Warnings in Books
Woo, revisiting the topic, especially now that I have a book out, and more coming out, that will feature trigger warnings. I already wrote about this but I don’t mind writing again about it. It’s a good topic. Since I’m an indie publisher/writer, I designed my own content warning page. I try to keep it... Continue Reading →
Black BookTubers, Bookstagrammers and more!

The Magical Ice Cream Store – Borrowed from Dean Wesley Smith
I am borrowing this from Dean Wesley Smith. He talks about “The Magical Bakery” as it pertains to putting out your work, copyrights and licensing. It’s super informative and I strongly recommend everyone read it but some parts can get a little confusing for someone super brand new. So instead of a pie shop, how... Continue Reading →
SFWA – I Now Can Join, But Why?”
I learned I hit all the pins to join SFWA (by the way, thank you everyone who has bought a copy of Dreamer (and In Search of Amika!)) … and I’m really not sure why I would want to.

I’m looking at potential reviewers to approach for future works and one thing I have noticed about myself (that I already knew all along): I prefer to seek out BIPoC reviewers only. Reason? I want my works to have a fair review, be it positive or negative. I personally do not believe that is really... Continue Reading →
Pen Test, Test 1 2 3
