Pretty proud of how these pics turned out! . . I used AuthorLab to make these gorgeous mockups for the cover reveal of Bryan Davis’ newest book, “Let the Ghosts Speak.” My new favorite software for authors/marketers! . . Speaking of LET THE GHOSTS SPEAK, this awesome book featuring the catacombs of 19th-century Paris, a masquerade party murder, and ghosts of the martyrs releases April 15, 2020, but preorders are available now on Amazon! . . Yes, I got to read this before it’s published, mwahaha, and I can tell you, it’s my favorite book of @bryandavisauthor ‘s yet! . . #lettheghostsspeak #bryandavisauthor #authorlab #speculativefiction #coverreveal #paranormalfiction #mountainbrookfire

Exciting opportunity, y’all! . Mountain Brook Fire is a new speculative fiction imprint for clean adult, YA, and MG spec fic. That means fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk, anything out there. . Better yet, MBF is hosting The Fire Award, a contest to find and commend the best in unpublished speculative fiction. Prizes include feedback from industry pros, full content edits from real editors, and a fancy schmancy Fire Award to the three category winners. . Entries are open Feb 1 - March 31, but the entry fee is only $15 Feb 1-7, one day left on the discount! . Yes, I am one of the judges, or else I would be entering! You can learn all about it at fire (dot) mountainbrookink (dot) com (backslash) contest. . . #writingcontest #writingcontests #writingcommunity #writingcommunityofinstagram #writingawards #speculativefiction #speculativefictionwriter #fantasywritersofinstagram #sciencefictionwriters

And just like that, I’m done. . . Last Friday marked my last college class ever as I presented my senior capstone. These lovely ladies are my fellow January ‘20 professional writing grads and our fearless leader, Professor Linda Taylor. . . The #tayloru professional writers have encouraged me, made me laugh, helped me grow, and shown me what a community of creatives should look like. Professor Taylor “prowrite mom” taught us the ropes and made me feel ready to take on the industry. . . I love you all and will miss you dearly, but I’ll see you again in May when we walk across the stage in cap and gown! Congratulations, ladies! . . #classof2020 #professionalwritingmajor #professionalwritingtayloru #writingcommunity #writingfamily

Dear Hope, I can’t wait to see our names on the cover together! . . No, this isn’t Wraithwood (coming out in November). This is none other than “Dear Hero,” a YA chat fiction superhero/supervillain romance with plenty of humor. . . @hopebolinger and I had a blast writing this, and now it will be releasing with @intensepublications January 30, 2021! . . Thank you to @intensepublications, @thecyleyoung, and @tessaemilyhall for believing in Dear Hero! We hope you all will think it’s...super (ba dum tss). . . #bookcontract #contractannouncement #coauthors #yawriters #2021novels

3-book contract! . . I just signed a contract for my YA fantasy trilogy with INtense Publications. I’m so excited for this wonderful and unexpected Christmas present! . . It’s been almost a year and a half of submitting, but thanks to my wonderful agent @hopebolinger, The Wraithwood Trilogy has found a home. . . Thank you to family, friends, professors, and prowrites for all of your help and encouragement! I can’t wait to share Wraithwood with you! . . #bookcontract #threebookcontract #intensepublications #contractsigning #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram

My dear friend @sonyascribbles surprised me! She came all the way from Ohio to visit me in AZ. Of course, we had to explore the Sonoran Desert. Lots of hiking, Mexican food, and silliness! I love you, Sonya! Thank you for the lovely Christmas present: you!
