Firstly, I love the song "Resonate" by The Prodigy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUBUPFVLMOU Secondly, I have mentioned I have a bevy of skillsets, so that allows me to make special stuff for book giveaways and suches. For my upcoming book The Harlequin (coming out March 2025, read a super short preview on this post here), I am continuing... Continue Reading →
My go-to narrator, Soraya Butler, has left the field of audiobooks ;_; I really appreciated her work but now it means I have a new opening. It is for my upcoming YA dark fantasy/horror novel of 43,000 words, The Harlequin. It is ballparked to be about 4-5 complete audio hours. You're free to read a... Continue Reading →
I have learned that if you tell people you are trying to be published as a fiction writer, you get a lot of remarks. The one that I definitely get is "oh, I always wanted to be a writer." And occassionally get a longer bit after that: "but I had kids/lived in a stuffy environment/took... Continue Reading →
One thing about being a horror writer that some probably might find odd: I'm squeamish about horror stuff I instinctively worry when people say they're disturbed or scared from my works. Two things but who's counting? When people say my works bother or disturb them, I have the instinct to go into apology mode, lol.... Continue Reading →

There's even full sets that includes pressers, needles, awls, strings, a thimble of questionable material, curved needles, straight needles and book cloth. All it... Continue Reading →
Yep, I needed a spot that will automatically port my blog splatters posts to wherever I microblog and it seems of all social media thingys I use for MMP, Instagram is the one I use the "most" (as in "not the least/at all"). So Threads makes for an easy jump, skip and hop for anyone... Continue Reading →
Might as well get this out the way. Fan Art Policy I don't mind fan art but please have your skin tones correct. I don't want to accept any colorist (also known as "shadeism") fan art, it will be returned. I'm a Black writer, I regularly depict my characters with medium and darker skin tones...

Submitting stories suck. I've talked about that already in the past. But one thing I have also noticed in newer calls for stories are full of red flags. Wanting to be published is a powerful pull for any writer, regardless of background. And some do want to be publishers for a litany of reasons. Problem... Continue Reading →
I've been noticing bookbinding has been growing in popularity as of late. Part of me noticing is from the massive deluge of really bad and remarkably dunce questions - and I don't mean from the "this person is new but totally interested in learning the ropes and doing the work", I mean from the "Can...
