Writer and Bookworm.
In the wake of the tragic murder of George Floyd, the protests, and the riots, I decided to put my obsessive reading habit to use. I created a booklist for TUBE. Magazine to help educate people on the history of police violence towards the Black community. Like the many, many amazing book and media lists... Continue Reading →
Welcome to the Books and Books Alone Issue! Well, the year has come to a close and those of us who did NaNoWriMo are slowly fading back into real life. It's a great time for self-care, so last month, I took it a little easy and put together a list of some of my favorite... Continue Reading →
As someone who's been doing National Novel Writing Month for the past six years, I was excited to the point of fangirling by the opportunity to write for their Camp Nano blog. In true bookworm form, I wrote about books. You can read my blog post here.

Working in a bookstore, especially one specializing in magic, religion, and the occult is a temptation for any writer. As someone working on an urban fantasy novel, it's doubly so. See how I (attempt) to resist temptation in my new Magus Books Blog post.
The idea of querying an agent is a scary one. You're putting yourself out there for the inevitable rejection with the burning hope for acceptance. Agents and publishers can seem like far off dwellers of ivory towers staring down their noses at you, but Manuscript Wishlist brings them closer to Earth. Manuscript Wishlist is a portal linking...

On Writing is not a typical writing book. For one thing, it isn't an instructional manual, it doesn't give the reader a step by step break down of the process and it only has one, albeit rather interesting, writing exercise prompt. For another thing, it's written by Stephen King. King puts his own stamp on... Continue Reading →
