Quick Love & Bubbles update - we're going to publish at the end of September. Stay tuned for cover reveal!
Now, on to my EXCITING NEWS OF EXCITEMENT!
My story features an alien who has learned human language through social media, so he speaks in Internet memes. Together with YouTuber Maddie Espinoza (who he comes to for help because Selena Gomez was busy), Alieny McAlienface must defeat the evil overload who protec but also attac his planet. (And if you don't get that joke, you're probably going to be a little baffled by the rest of the story.)
The Kickstarter is live today, and you can get some awesome rewards. I'm offering a custom cross stitch, and some of the stories get illustrations. This is mine. Aaaaaaah, look at Maddie and Alieny McAlienface!

I'm going to be in a book with Seanan McGuire. I didn't even know that was one of my writing goals until I achieved it. I LOVE her books so much, and her UFO story is about an interstellar carnival ship battling space pirates, which is what my novel is about!
I'm having trouble putting into words what this means to me.
People don't take me seriously in real life. Strangers treat me like a child, and my family... well, they're good, but I think your family is supposed to always see you as their baby. Friends that I've met in my adult life seem to see me as an adult, but it's hard for me to accept that they really see me that way and aren't just pretending.
Sometimes it's weird when I'm doing contracts and working with editors, and I realize they're treating me like equals. They really and truly see me as an adult who can handle deadlines and doesn't need to be coddled.
They see me as someone deserving of sharing a table of contents page with my idols.
I honestly didn't know that was a goal of mine until I achieved it.
