A small bit of personal news. 2023 was a quiet year as I was working on my first trilogy of epic Underworld Myth and Fantasy. Thank you to @charlottetrum , and my agent Niki Chang for believing in Hekate and her sister novels. ❤️

I understand why male loneliness is being called a crisis right now, but society has been making fun of women’s loneliness for years and saying we will die alone with our cats if we aren’t married by 30. Perhaps empathy towards loneliness is in short supply because of this?

Are people not aware that the age of consent is 16 because 16 year olds sleep with each other, not so that men in their 30s and 40s can have 16 year old girlfriends? My god the terrible discourse on this website.

Please read Palestinian poets, we are so lucky to know their work. You’ll find a wealth of knowledge, beauty of language and fierce compassion. Mahmoud Darwish, Fady Joudah, Noor Hindi, Naomi Shihab-Nye, Lena Khalaf Tuffaha, Khaled Juma - and these names are just a start.
