THIEFTESS Chapter 42: Goodbye
Read all of THIEFTESS here! Dearest Squad, I have no idea how to introduce this chapter. So instead, I will give you a completely fun fact about me that I bet you never knew: I have always been fascinated by just how many words and phrases in common vernacular (US and UK specifically, though I’m learning that Korean has a few as well) are nautical in origin. Here are a few: • Above board •…

THIEFTESS Chapter 41: The End of Yorgo Krakatoa
Read all of THIEFTESS here! Dearest Squad, I got home from my travels up north right before my birthday in January, and thanks to some pretty crushing anxiety and depression about my career (and Piper, and the state of the world in general) it took me over a month to get sleep and food and medicine and exercise and everything else back on a decent schedule. But I rallied my troops—and…

Shifting Gears ✨🌪✨
I finished my novel on Wednesday. I had such a hard time this past December – I woke up on Dec 31st at about 3 am in a full-blown anxiety attack. I knew that if I didn’t find a way to change my perspective about some things, I was going to slide right back into the land of “Stress is Going to Kill You.” Knowing that you need to A Thing is the first step. Actually Doing The Thing is a different…
Congratulate me; I finished that novel
Joan Wilder was always my hero. I was 8 years old when Romancing the Stone released (my family owns movie theatres, remember, so I saw just about everything on the Big Screen). The day I met Joan Wilder I knew: I was going to be a writer. (You know, if the whole acting thing didn’t pan out.) Once upon a time, whenever I finished a novel, I would make this photo of Joan my profile picture. On…

New THIEFTESS Writing Essay: I may take away a character’s memories, but even I can’t erase the person they were born to be.
NEW ESSAY: We read “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” in high school. English Honors. Of course, I loved it - it’s a gonzo poem about curses and ghosts and—at the heart of it all—storytelling...

THIEFTESS Chapter 23: The King is Dead
Dearest Squad, “Le roi est mort, vive le roi!” has always been one of my favorite sayings. I’ve been reading books and speaking other languages for so long that I don’t even remember when I first learned it. “The king is dead, long live the king!” may sound like nonsense, but it refers to TWO different kings. In 1400’s France, it was law that sovereignty did not pass to the new king until the…
(Sorry the essay part of this is a day late - I got my second Shingles vaccine shot yesterday. I’m super tired today but it appears my brain still works…) 💜
Thieftess Thursday - Chapter 22: Plan X
Dearest Squad, The last 3 months have been so hard. Emotionally, financially, whatever. All of it. I did manage to write a short story for an anthology during January (it’s a near-future near-apocalyptic story called “Burn the Veil”), but getting back to THIEFTESS was so difficult. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve rewritten Chapters 24 & 25. And I just realized…I hadn’t even posted 22-25…
