The Seventeen Nights (and counting)

Hello, darlings.


The essay will be up tomorrow along with an extra bonus recipe for those stuck at home trying to figure out what to cook. And I’m working on putting together that poetry collection for you guys! April will be a rewards-heavy month, yo.


In the meantime, I’ve decided to read from what amounts to my first novel, The Orphan’s Tales, every night until we all get to leave our homes. I thought about doing it here, but the livestream function on Patreon leaves a lot to be desired, so I’m doing it for now on the much easier Instagram Live at 8:30pm EST every night.

Hope to see some of you there!


Thank you all so much for your continuing support in this horrible mess we all have to live through. You guys are literally keeping us afloat. It means more to me now than ever, when money is tight for all. Thank you so much.

It is SO MUCH FUN. I am loving it! Anyone else rushing to get kids to bed on time so they can make their own storytime???

I know I am quiet, but thank you for everything. It helps keep me going. And I made the broccoli the other night and my partners and I DEVOURED IT. You were right. It's fucking amazing!
