#OffbeatJourneys
My podcast finally has a name.
And yes, it’s exactly the same as my newsletter.
Offbeat Journeys.
It’s a spot for thoughtful chats with indie authors about the books that shaped them and the detours they never expected.
Coming soon.

Unkindness is finally back on the page after so many delays. The current scene makes me genuinely excited. It’s tense, it’s emotional, it’s…exactly why I wanted to tell the story in the first place…I can’t wait to share it! #UnkindnessBook #BackToWriting #OffbeatJourneys

Sometimes the best ideas don’t knock.
They just… settle in and wait until you’re ready.

I couldn’t focus. Couldn’t plan. Could barely think straight.
That’s when it showed up.
A new fiction idea. Uninvited, abrupt, and quietly resolute.
Unkindness still comes first. This next one?
Even I don’t know what it’ll become yet.
