Such a great thing to wake up to this morning. I haven’t checked my GoodReads in two months and was very surprised to find a new review for my Christmas Novella When The Candles Burn.

T265 survives Hell in the carcass of who she used to be, but the whisper of her ghost forces her to intervene for a stranger. Now there is no going back. Only death, betrayal, or the futile quest for the last shred of hope in damnation remains. The only certainty is she can’t live like this anymore.

She Thrives In Hell is a dystopian novella about a trans woman’s fight to reclaim identity and hope after years of torture and slavery.

There are many intros I will skip for shows, but I will never….never skip the X-Men 97 intro. #XmenTheAnimatedSeries

Would you want the government inspecting your marriage??

Mr. and Mrs. Lavender live an unassuming life in a normal late 20th century colonial a respectable distance from downtown. However, the monthly government inspection of their relationship puts strain on that connection and each other.

Just finished the polish on a short story tie-in to She Thrives In Hell. I really love how it turned out and I’m really excited to share it with everyone on July 7.

How can a Project Management process like Risk Analysis protect your book launch? This is something every Author, whether self publishing or Trad Publishing, is going to want to know.

With the Supreme Court ruling today, I felt I needed to bring some brightness into the world like a fucking Care Bear. Plus I have to be on camera for work in a bit. #pride #writerlife #lgbt

15 more minutes. I’m so excited to share this story with everyone.

It was born out of the fear and anxiety I have as a trans woman living under a government that seems hell bent to eradicate me and my trans siblings.
