Now that IG has gotten it’s act together, I can finally post the latest collage for my current #WIP, #SONSOFSLAUGHTER! SOS is an emotionally violent YA Literary Thriller and I’m about halfway through #DraftTwo right now. This being my fourth finished novel, I’m finally starting to take joy in the editing process. It’s a lot of arduous, hard work, but it can be so fun! And the editing process is so integral to our development and growth as writers. • SOS is set in my hometown in the #PNW, where I lived for the first 16 years of my life. It’s probably my most racially diverse work to date, featuring protagonists who are Navajo and Latino respectively. As with all my novels, it confronts serious social issues like domestic violence and teen pregnancy. Because I don’t write easy-breezy fiction, apparently. Not that there’s anything wrong with it. 😊 • It’s not time yet, but I’m hoping that in the next 2-3 months I can make my beta call - maybe sooner! So, get ready. The wolves are coming. 🐺 https://www.instagram.com/p/BzeM6yvgQ3Y/?igshid=1o6ypdifyqppp

Here, enjoy an aesthetic collage for my current WIP, #SonsOfSlaughter! I don’t know if I’ll keep it up on my main feed because I’m worried it won’t flow with the other pics - let me know what you think. 😆 • Anyway, I started #Draft2 of #SOS a few days ago and have already added about 1500 words. I have a lot more content edits ahead of me. 😅 • Also, I’m doing a Q&A about SOS in my insta story, but I’ll go ahead and post here, too. Comment below with any questions you have about the story, or head on over to my InstaStories! https://www.instagram.com/p/By735TeAOam/?igshid=1qo6qs8dbtp7x

In the midst of celebrating #EBABT, let’s not forget my firstborn! #LoveandtheSeaandEverythinginBetween is an emotional YA Contemporary about a college student struggling with depression who meets the new girl. They decide to go on adventures together and accidentally get to know each other too well. Such is life. • I’m proud of how well both my boys are doing! I’ve heard so many great things and am so thankful for every review - both positive and negative. • In other news... I started draft 2 of #SonsOfSlaughter the other day! Super excited about my third #bookbaby! It’s such a rich story. A YA Literary Thriller, I promise it’ll take your head for a trip. 🤣 https://www.instagram.com/p/By0G3Gwgv8p/?igshid=kidrcxui8jeh
