Bookish News!

Hi everyone!

It's been a minute! I haven't published anything in 5 years!

That doesn't mean I haven't been writing... It's been 5 years of focusing on practicing and understanding the craft + storytelling that much more.

And now I am excited to announce that I'm publishing a dark pirate fantasy, "In Roaring She Shall Rise" May 21, 2026. So far away, but it's also not! So. Much. To. Do.

Vanessa Perry is on page 23 of 400 of When Women Ruled the World: I wanted to make a small note. Some reviews dislike the insertion of modern politics and I was prepared to also dislike them. But they’re actually excellent comparisons. So far, this book is a very smooth, easy-to-understand read. Do you want people to read? Do you want them curious about history? Then you need to make both literature and conversation more accessible. The author does that well right away.
