Hello wonderful people! I've been working hard on my latest round of revisions, and now, I'm almost at the point I've been so excited to reach: the query phase!

Dreams and Goals
Book Rainbow love from my bookstagram Hi everyone! Summer is almost upon us. Every June for the past five or so years, I’ve spent a week in Los Angeles for the world’s biggest video games convention and to visit my family (and sometimes, to visit Disneyland).

WEDDING WEEK
Coffee time! Holy crap, it's wedding week!!! I got engaged in Ireland last April, so it's been a decently long engagement of 1.5 years. Still, I can't believe the big day is here.
