First line of my book and one of my favorites. It was also a strong inspiration for the entire story.

What if Snow White was the huntsman her mother hired to kill her?

What if she was not as dainty and pure hearted as the fairytale?

2023 involved many missed goals, yet two important goals completed:
- started working from home
- finished main revisions on my novel

Diving into this world again has brought me back into this world of enchantment, fairytales, and found family

I don’t want to lose Twitter. I don’t want to leave it.

No other platform has allowed me to connect with readers & writers like this one. I met my earliest CPs on here; I met my earliest readers; and neither #Truthwitch nor #TheLuminaries would have succeeded without Twitter.

@stdennard My bf: can't we just tap him and make little teeth miming motions?

Me: yes, that will get us the guy. Teeth miming.

Him: We can't get the guy if we're dead!

😂😂 I vote stay silent.

@stdennard I went to preorder on B&N to get a signed copy (while on the waiting list for Illuminate so I can get their Luminaries box 😭😭😭) and realized I'd already pre-ordered months ago--for the B&N exclusive edition.

But....I can preorder type types.....right? 😂
