I'm SUPER excited to share that I'm a part of the Launch Team for C.A. Miljavic's SHE LAUGHS, her latest book premiering on January 1st.
I'll be posting more about it in the days to come, but for now, here's the synopsis, in case you'd like to read more about it, as well as the preorder link IN THE COMMENTS, just in case. "Join CA Miljavac on a journey of joy.
She believes with all her heart that laughter is a gift, providing a sliver of distraction from whatever struggle you might be facing. . .relief when you need rescuing. . .hope in the midst of hardship.
Though her life has been dotted with disaster, it’s through laughter that she found the strength and courage to persevere. . .joy for the journey. And she’ll help you discover all the ways laughter can carry you through your very own painful situations.
In ten laugh-till-you-cry chapters, Miljavac shares how laughter has been an essential and valuable part of her own healing, plus hilarious true stories will help you get started on the path to a life of peace and joy." #SheLaughsBook #SheLaughs #camiljavic

It's that time of year again, y'all.
I can hardly describe the peace these copies give me.

Hi friends! Happy Friday! As a belated #ThrowbackThursday, I'm sharing my first poem I ever had published that wasn't a high school publication. This one goes so far back, it was published under my maiden name! Enjoy!

This beauty of a mythical jaguar is complete and wearing its many hearts on its sleeve as plainly as flowers. Here, also, is the poem I wrote for Cadence. She loves this, front and back, and will likely be asking me to read it to her at night before bed for a while... 🧡

In case anyone is interested, these are approximately 4x6 images, which I will color and write a unique, original poem to. $7 with shipping included.

Pumpkin Pie in the oven, and this lovely Apple Pie waiting for its turn. I'm so proud of the leaves!

Progress on this beauty, and a poem in the works to go on the back. This first one is for Cady, a gift she requested from her Mama, but I'm planning to make more. 🧡

Who's interested?
I started coloring these lovely designs by Georgie Wooldridge, and I decided to start writing poems on the back of each card.
I would love to mail these to interested parties! I'm thinking $7?
Thoughts? ❤

It's always such an honor when one of my poems finds a home. But being housed among so many fantastic writers, and for my poem to be the first piece to appear after the introduction---I'm particularly touched.
Thank you to great weather for MEDIA for giving my poem, "Exit Strategies," a home. This anthology, BIRDS FALL SILENT IN THE MECHANICAL SEA, is lovely, and I admire my writerly neighbors.
