  4. Breaking news: Imposter syndrome has been formally challenged.

    The first book in my "Wazo the Wildcard" series is now part of the Ottawa Public Library collection.

    Apparently, if you write a book and a public institution agrees to catalogue it, that counts as legitimacy.

    Who knew.

    Grateful. Slightly stunned. Carrying on.
    (Two more volumes to write...)

  6. Cass doesn't want to be a symbol. She doesn't want to lead a revolution. She wants her mother back and a world that makes sense.

    But when the people you love are in danger and you're the only one who can protect them, wanting doesn't matter. Choosing does. ⭐

  7. The Threshold Saga is a found-family story wearing fantasy armor. ✨

    A mother who came back from the dead. A teleporter who jokes to survive. A healer who feels every wound she fixes. A historian who fights with notebooks.

    They're not a team. They're a family — messy, stubborn, and unbreakable.

  8. ⭐ A child who was told she was broken discovers she's a healer — and refuses to ask permission to help save the world.

    What's the bravest character moment you've read in YA fiction?

  10. It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is UNBELIEVABLE, though I've had to go with DISBELIEF. Ted struggles with kleptomania, all part of the Thief's plan to rule the world. #kleptomania #yafantasy #bookqw benjeapes.com/index.php/the-te

  16. Every Friday, I meet a member of the British Fantasy Society and peer deep into their soul (or, at least, a form they filled out). This week we're in Somerset with Persian British author Sophia Vahdati, who says she "writes for people who are still searching for magic".

  17. Happy #Halloween Everyone! I was thinking about what books I would recommend around this time of year and remembered a review I did back in 2023 - Big Bad Me by @Ashilockie

    I reposted to my blog here: markkieltywriter.com/2025/10/3

    Excellent book with #Buffy the Vampire vibes.

  23. Muffin 👻🐱
    (is my favorite character in THE GHOSTKEEPER)

    Fun fact: I named her "Muffin" after Oscar Wilde's running gag in Importance of Being Earnest, where characters keep drowning their sorrows in muffins.
