Dark Starlight

I'm ever so slow these days! Poor Agent Regalia is stalling on chapter 17, and I've decided that my MG SF verse novel Bad Species needs a complete revision. I'm also not currently subbing my triad of children's books because I've decided I want to figure out my own personal illustration style, which will involve a lot of fun experimenting and practice.

My younger self would've felt discouraged and impatient at my glacially slow progress. But now, my only desire is to stab the blank paper with ink and leave pinpricks of dark starlight on the page! Even if it is only a single asterisk. That too, is treasure.

A dust mote of dreams.

Spring Marbles

Alas, I live in a northern clime and have no cherry blossoms. But I do have these lovely spring-pink marbles. 


Happy World Marbles Day!

A Fond Farewell to YRLR

Today I bid farewell to Young Ravens Literary Review. Elizabeth and I helmed 21 issues from 2014-2024. The ending is bittersweet, and while no good thing lasts forever, I'll never forget the journey! Thank you all the stelliferous contributors who breathed life into our humble little online journal. May your creative ink and dreams continue to fill the world with wonder. ✨
