Manifesting Destiny Returns!
In 2016, my young adult novel Manifesting Destiny was published by… a small publisher. It did fairly well on release, actually, although I didn’t love the way they formatted the paperback. And then I also couldn’t get local bookstores to carry the paperback because the publisher used Amazon to create it, and many bookstores don’t want to sell products made

Coming Soon… ish
Back in 2016, the first book in my planned Changers trilogy was published by Evernight Teen (under the name M Pepper Langlinais). Sadly, I wasn’t able to finish the trilogy at that time, and I eventually had the rights to the book returned to me after the contract ended. Now I’m happy to announce that Manifesting Destiny will be republished

The Tropification of Book Marketing
A year or so ago, I was encouraged to make an “arrow chart” of each of my books. If you’re an author or reader, you know what this is: an image (often animatic) showing the book with a bunch of arrows describing the tropes in the story. I suck at this kind of thing, but I tried. (The animatic one

Book Reviewing: Four Stars = Not Enough?
So I stumbled onto this story via social media. (I’m not someone who frequents Reddit, but that’s where this led me.) And I have to say I think ESH. But, at the same time, there is no easy or “correct” answer. Allow me to summarize: a book reviewer (who evidently reads and reviews a lot of books and says they

Reading Update
So close! I am so close to completing my reading bingo board for 2023! I just need a rom-com and I’m done! Luckily, I went to the library today and grabbed Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade, which has been on my list (see below) for a while now. Glad to finally have a chance to read it. My Goodreads challenge

Books I’ve Tried but Failed to Read
Lately, I’ve struggled to find books that hold my interest. Some of that is definitely on me; I’ve been having a rough time, and sitting down and focusing on a book has been incredibly difficult. And yet I have read a few books that I enjoyed (check my YouTube channel for those). So it can be done. Still, the wins

2022 in Review: Writing
Although the year is not quite over, it’s about time to start wrapping things up and examining what worked, what didn’t, and how to move forward. I intend to do this in bits and pieces by looking at different aspects of my life through the year. Naturally, I’ll start with my writing. Releases It’s difficult to believe I actually started
