If you ever message me between the hours of 10p-6a (EST) please accept my apologies on behalf of my insomniasona (the barely conscious me who randomly wakes up in the middle of the night to swipe away my notifs while convinced I'll remember them in the morning). She's an overconfident B.

Today is the day my dream comes true and IT'S A LOVE/SKATE RELATIONSHIP hits shelves, e-readers, and audiobook streamers!! Love/Skate is a piece of my heart that now belongs to all of you, too. I hope you love Charlie and her story as much as I do. ❤️⛸️🏳️‍🌈

My book releases in two weeks and I'm not sure I'll ever feel ready to serve this piece of my heart to so many readers 🫣 I hope they love these characters as much as I do!

Had a lovely time putting together this cover illustration for Carli J. Corson’s “It’s a Love/Skate Relationship” and I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of the book! Thanks AD @j_feingold @carlijcorson

Some ☀️summer stats☀️ ✅Words written (Love/Skate edits): 22k ✅Words written (WIP): 28k ✅Books read: 4.5 ✅Puzzles completed: 4 ✅Show seasons binged: 3 ✅Puppies adopted: 1

I'm about 2/3 through this developmental edit and so far I've added 4 brand new chapters plus several new scenes. Writing my gaymo dork baby Charlie again after 6+ months of querying/submission/negotiation etc is pure joy. I love this story so much and I'm so damn lucky I get to publish it 😭🥹😊
