I'm interrupting your regularly scheduled book and writing posts with a life update. One, as you're reading this, I'll probably be in surgery or recovering from surgery. So please send me your best vibes for recovery. Two, I've been with my boyfriend for three whole years. It feels crazy. We went from long distance in … Continue reading Personal Post: Sorry to Interrupt, But It’s Been Three Years!
I had other ideas for today's post, but I came across WithCindy's video on Youtube about the Asian Readathon she's created. May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and I believe it's so important to broaden our reading and support the BIPOC and Asian communities.

If you've spent any time on the internet as a writer, you've probably run into the concept of an AU prompt. An AU prompt is an "alternative universe" idea of a current work of fiction (and sometimes nonfiction). It has been seen a lot in the fanfiction world (which I'll defend at a later time). … Continue reading AU Writing Prompts

I’ve spent a good chunk of my life working with design and making things more enjoyable to the consumer. Advertising is a race to make people pick up your product or service and having a strong design is one of the easiest ways to get people to stop and look. With books, it’s no different. … Continue reading 10 Tips for a Better Book Cover
I’m 1000% biased when I say that judging a book by its cover is sometimes a good thing. There’s a sea of books either online or at the store and at some point, you have to limit the choices just so you can even make said choice. I know a lot of people are going … Continue reading In Defense of Judging a Book by Its Cover
Okay, back a thousand years ago when I started making a list of ideas for posts I dubbed March Book Cover Appreciation Month. A small part of my bird brain believes that it was a legit month theme created outside of me, but I’ve yet to find it out in the wild. So, I’ll just … Continue reading Pseudo-Book Cover Appreciation Month
I had a completely different post planned for today and then I remembered yesterday was International Women's Day. I usually don't celebrate the day. For me, since I am a woman, every day is women's day. Every accomplishment I do is for women. Every failure I have is just a moment of learning for this … Continue reading Appreciating Women Authors
