I write books. And blogs.

On this week's blog I talk about my experience with working from home and my top tips to manage your time. Come read! #stayhome

Lately, one of the things I’ve seen a lot of my friends struggling with the most—besides mental health and the impending end of the world—is working from home. For those lucky enough to be able to keep a job during this crisis, the change in routine is just one more layer of stress. It’s already a big change under normal circumstances, it might feel nearly impossible right now.

Ever since I…

So, I wrote something about the end of the world. It's not about the pandemic, though, I took a more traditional approach—zombies! #amwriting #shortstory #classicapocalypse

You were running through the trees. You were far in the middle of the woods, your usual track long lost. You wouldn’t give up, though. You were decided you wouldn’t go down without a fight. Or, at least, a last attempt at fleeing.

Your lungs were burning and you could smell their stench—they were getting closer. That was when you stumbled upon a clearing, a tall building sitting in the middle…

February's #ShortStory is here! THE BOSS! Come read this tale about the simple man struggles, lol. #amwriting

“And, now, for our greatest achievement of the year,” Damon paused dramatically. I had to fight the urge to roll my eyes. “Please give a round of applause to Carmen.”

Everyone cheered as she stepped in front of the team. It was clear she was beloved by everyone. Well, almost everyone.

“For the twelfth consecutive month, this branch of Middle of Nowhere turned in the highest revenue ever.”…

I've said many times before that music is a huge inspiration to my writing (I even have the #FlashFriday project to prove it). Today, I show you how exactly that works in my novels! #amwriting

If you’ve been here for a while, you might know by now that I take most of my writing inspiration from songs. I’ve talked about how all my story ideas come from songs, and I even have the #FlashFriday thing, which is solely based on music. What you might not know is that I rely on songs to solve plot problems, as well. Let me walk you through some practical examples.

This week I'm doing something super fun: interviewing my characters! Come have a chat with Alana, Harry, Becky, and Pete! P.S.: I interviewed myself, too 🙈

Last week, I filled out an interview with Harry and Alana from Welcome to New York to be featured in a blog promo. I had so much fun doing it that I ended up interviewing Pete and Becky from Once in a Lifetime, too. And, then, I thought it would be fun to answer the same questions myself!

Find the results below.

Today I'm talking about one of my #RecentReads that's quickly become a favorite: THE DARK FANTASTIC. I just wanna shove this book on everyone's hands! It's a masterclass and you should read it. #bookreview #thedarkfantastic #ebonyelizabeththomas

“An emancipatory Black fantastic requires interrupting the dark fantastic cycle in order to create new paradigms. It requires mentoring diverse talent, actively acquiring new stories, and then moving toward culturally sustaining visions of editorship, marketing, reviewing, librarianship, book retailing, and literacy education. It requires publishing, Hollywood, education, libraries, and…

January's #shortstory is here! And it's a genre I've never written before 👀 Come read and tell me what you think #amwriting #theshortstoryexperience

Connor walked alone. It was dark, cold, and deserted. The only sounds disturbing the crisp silence were his feet shuffling on the gravel and the occasional chattering of his teeth. He wasn’t ready to go back, though. Going back would mean defeat. It would mean he was wrong, and if there was one thing Connor hated, it was being wrong. So, he went on.
