The specific humiliation of sharing your writing with someone and then watching them read it in front of you in real time. they pause. why did they pause. that was a bad pause. now they're nodding but what does the nod mean. now they look up and say "wow" and you need to know IMMEDIATELY what kind of wow that was. there are at least six different wows and only one of them is good and you have aged fourteen years waiting to find out which one.

The Liminal Room - ARC signup

Thank you for your interest in joining my ARC team! The Liminal Room is the first installment in the Phoenix Awakening Trilogy. Please consi

Reality is fragile. And the boundaries between worlds is thinner than we ever knew.

Eighteen-year-old Ceph has been bound to serve the Crown since birth. Trained in elemental magic, all he wants is to survive unnoticed. But when a new, rare elemental power manifests, drawing the attention of a ruthless king, Ceph’s plan to remain in the shadows is shattered.

Across a rift in time and space, seventeen-year-old Nix feels more alive while dreaming than she does when she’s awake. When her dreams begin to bleed into reality, Nix is taken captive by a shadowy research institute determined to unravel the mystery of her rare abilities.

As the lines between dreams and reality blur, Nix and Ceph’s worlds collide. Secrets buried across timelines come to light, leaving the fate of two realities hanging in the balance.

The Liminal Room is the first installment of a gripping new genre-bending sci-fi fantasy trilogy where elemental magic, lucid dreaming, and alternate timelines collide. Told through dual points of view, the story weaves together science fantasy and portal fiction to explore power, identity, and the quiet terror of being controlled by something you never chose.

With undiscovered powers, political control, and morally gray forces shaping every choice, the first book in the Phoenix Awakening Trilogy delivers high-concept worldbuilding wrapped in a dark, liminal atmosphere—a perfect choice for YA and new adult readers drawn to emotionally driven speculative fiction that blurs the line between dreams and reality.

gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"

"All religions are cults if you think about it"

Actually they're not all cults and you're doing the work of making sure actual cults can slip under the radar when you say stuff like that

Cult leaders LOVE that trend, because they can point to it and say, "people will call anything a cult, it's basically meaningless"

I'm begging you all to stop using the word cult until you really understand what it means

Rule of thumb: if you voluntarily stopped showing up a couple weeks in a row, what would happen?

If the answer is “nothing,” or “well, people wouldn’t like it but also wouldn’t do anything about it,” or, “my mom would be disappointed,” it’s not a cult.

If the answer is “people would come to my house to try to get me to come back” or “I’d start getting shunned or actively harassed by almost everyone I know” or “that could never happen because you’re not allowed to,” it’s a cult!
