What is Bobbie Writing?

I have used this site for so many years as a reader that it feel weird to be here as an author and to say I have a book out with more to come, but here I am.

On April 26, 2023, I released my debut poetry collection, When Can We Be Soft?: Poems of Female Resilience, and the audiobook will release on May 26, 2023. I am so proud of this book. Writing poetry is therapeutic for me, and creating this book was cathartic. I continue to write and share poetry multiple times a week on various platforms and am considering releasing at least one poetry book annually from those pieces.

I have a picture adventure book, Lilli and the Nervous Narwhal, currently being illustrated by Beverly Watkins that is slated for release in December 2023. It tells the story of an empathetic young girl, Lilli, who travels to the arctic and makes friends with a narwhal who is anxious about his tooth thanks to her magic pajamas that make her dreams come true.

I'm also working on my debut fantasy novel in which a young maenad works through remnants of childhood trauma, family secrets, and unexpected powers to find her place in the world where she is tied to two pantheons and desired by another. There are elements of Greek mythology and dragons. I am having so much fun with this story, and I can't wait to share bits of it with you.

A Peek into Bobbie's Mind

I have so many blogs and sites where I post random creative thoughts, but I do not have anywhere that I regularly post updates about my writing itself. This will be that space.
