Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for the over 10,000 likes on my Threads post about autism! As an autistic author, this means so much to me. This is *by far* my most viral post on any platform to date, and it seriously means so much to me. 💙 #autisticauthor #actuallyautistic #autism #booksky #book

My most popular poetry collection The Moon, The Tide, and All I Tried is currently FREE on Kindle as part of the @indie.author.collective book mash! It’s also available on Kindle Unlimited, and in paperback and hardcover (not free).
Thank you to the person who made me make this post, because I love going semi-viral, but I’m beyond frustrated by having to constantly have this conversation.
Beyond grateful to have been able to publish seven books (and counting)! I have two more books coming out this year, and I’m writing at least three more at present. I love my readers so much, and I’m beyond grateful for every single one of you.
The story is done pending a little light editing. The game is in good shape & will get more rigorous playtesting with the fam in Vermont. Could happen by the end of September if the stars align!
I just restocked some books at Central Book Exchange in Sugar House! They still have one signed copy of No Other Reason, my contemporary romance novelette.
Falling in love is one of the most beautiful and special things you can ever experience, but life doesn't always go how you expect it to. As my Grandpa always said, no day ever goes how you expected it to when you first woke up in the morning.
The Moon, The Tide, and All I Tried is on sale on paperback! Grab it on Amazon while it’s $1.37 off! It’s a poetry collection on love, grief, and survival.
Spent what feels like eight million years (okay, three hours) this morning putting the final touches on my short story collection—now officially titled Later Portals, Current Connections. I’ve put a ton of effort into compiling, editing, and shaping this for you all.
As we are getting closer to the spookier part of the year, I wanted to share my poem "Spooky." This will appear in my fifth poetry collection! It's for anyone who has had to come to terms with the idea that not everyone is meant to stay in your life. #spooky #breakuppoems#poemofthedaybyme
"Many Years Past" Yes, I’m still in love with you, but not in any reasonable way. I understand that we wouldn’t work— and I know that that’s okay, But my feelings don’t have an off switch, and they’re not that strong to begin with.
Happy Tu B’Av! Here’s a sweet and kinda cliche poem I wrote that’s inspired by the holiday. 🩷🩷🩷 #tubav #valentinesday #lovepoems #sweetpoems #cutelovepoems #poemsky #booksky
Chag Sameach Tu B’Av! ❤️❤️❤️ #tubav #jewish #judaism #chagsameach
After much debate, I officially chose my Hebrew name. I'll finish my conversion early next year, and I'm going with Eliana bat Avraham v'Sarah for my Hebrew name! 🩷 #jewishsky #jewish #judaism #jewishconversion #hebrewname
A reader sent me an unprompted email complaining that my poetry collection wasn't a fiction novel telling a full story, acted like I misadvertised it, and then kept opening my email response after I blocked them.
Just a friendly reminder that it is never appropriate to send an author unsolicited, negative feedback. This includes via email, DMs, tagging us in a post, or any other platform or format. If you do so, expect to be blocked on every platform! #booksky #skyauthors
Why I Bit You Mid-Pet 1. Too much affection. 2. Too little affection. 3. You moved your hand. 4. I was done. You weren't. 5. I was testing your reflexes. 6. You were petting in the wrong direction. 7. I remembered something you did in 2025. 8. Doesn't matter why. I make the rules. 9. I'm a cat.
Support modern Jewish fiction! Demand that publishers not obliterate Jewish voices. If Jewish stories are not published, then part of the Jewish record goes missing. forward.com/opinion/8385...
I gathered the data on Jewish fiction publishing. The trends are alarming.
One solution, writes an author and activist, is to envision publishing as an act of peoplehood

And so trying to market a book you wrote continues to be difficult. But here we go ✨
I’m glad that I got to come back to Dallas for one night! I lived here very briefly last year, and I was able to do a few book signings during that time. I’m an indie author and poet who’s converting to Judaism, and I write fantasy, romance, sci-fi, women’s fiction, horror, and lots of poetry. 💙
Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.
I am completely devastated and shocked to learn that one of my earliest ARC readers and biggest supporters has passed away. I knew him well, and he meant a lot to me.
Earlier today, I wrote “Paint You Red,” which will appear in my WIP fifth poetry collection. This poem is for anyone who has loved someone with every fiber of their being! #unrequitedlove #iwantyoutobehappy #makeyouhappy #unconditionallove #lovepoems #poetrysky #poemsky #booksky #indiepoetry #texas
