This is my first official signing and I'm so excited to get to see you all. If you want your book signed and you're in the Orlando area on August 11, 2018 from 3:00pm-6:00pm, come see me. We can talk about Skye, Chance, Liam and maybe even book 2. If you haven't had a chance to get my book from Amazon, I'll have plenty. Can't wait to see you there! 😊📚📖

IBF 2017! Had a great time as usual this year. Seeing everybody and making new friends is always fun. But this year was a little more special, as my friends Ainsley Shay, and Miranda Hardy, invited me to put my books on their table. When I got to sign my name on this book that I’d put so much of my heart into, it was amazing 😍. Readers are everything to an Author, and the fact that I have any, blows my mind. 💜

I finally have a book out in the world, and I’m freaking out (just a little)!!! *flails arms uncontrollably *

I listened to my first audio book ever, and had to binge it. In two days, I’ve listened to almost 9 hours. It’s such a different experience having someone read to you, and it makes cooking, cleaning and school car-lines so much better. ❤📚🎧 I laughed, I cryed, I blushed, and I hoped no one could hear through the windows.😄

This is Blue. I rarely draw men, so I'm pretty stoked with how he came out. 😊🎨

Went to Indie Book Fest. this weekend and had a blast. Having this many creative people in one spot is awesome and I met so many wonderful people. Every year gets better, and I can't wait till the next one. I would have posted Monday, but I honestly needed to recuperate...lol. It was a long weekend!

Friend: So what are you looking for?

Me: I'm in the mood for either YA or MG, ideally with a MC who is a POC, LGBT or both and minimal deus ex machina

TRYING TO WRITE A STORY

[maxkirin]

I don’t teach writing. I teach patience. Toughness. Stubbornness. The willingness to fail. I teach the life. The odd thing is most of the things that stop an inexperienced writer are so far from the truth as to be nearly beside the point. When you feel global doubt about your talent, that is your talent. People who have no talent don’t have any doubt.

Fiction come to life!

At my local high school watching the kids play Quidditch. Pretty awesome!
