So I found out about this book after watching the TV series. I LOVED the tv series so naturally I have to read the series. How is the book? Is it as good or better then the series? Worse? Writing update: my first book Mark of the Lost One is currently being edited by an editor! I’ll be looking for book reviews in the next 6 months. If anyone has any tips on getting book reviews, buying author platforms or general publishing tips I would greatly appreciate it! #read #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #booklover #books #shadowandbone #authors #editing #publishing #readmorebooks #readersgonnaread #youngadult #fiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CShYWAgAQx_/?utm_medium=tumblr

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” -Eleanor Roosevelt This is my favorite bookmark and one day I will have my dream. My book series will be published either the traditional way or self published. I know this because about two years ago I received an offer to have the first book published but it was a contributory contract which means I have to put up some of my own money to have it published because I am a new author and have yet to be published. In the end I turned down the offer because I wasn’t interested in that type of contract. I look at it like this, those editor’s connected with my story and knew others would as well so somewhere out there is an agent and editor that will connect with my characters and their story again. So if I still don’t have an agent by the time I’ve competed drafting the last book in my series (I’m half way done!) then I will go the self publishing route. What dream are you working towards? #dreams #writersofinstagram #writers #writingcommunity #publisher #publishing #agent #literaryagent #reader #readers #reading #story #writing https://www.instagram.com/p/CDZ13KSATer/?igshid=1sf37oq7oid6d

It has been months since I’ve posted but I’m that time I welcomed my second son and have been adjusting to having a toddler and new born. It was hard finding time for my self with one kid and now I have two! Thankfully both are currently asleep so I’m getting in some much needed reading time. Also welcome to my living room in the background that has been taken over, lol. Calling all reader/writers/parents how the heck do you find time to read or write with kids? I’m confined to nap times and bedtime and at both I would love to fall asleep myself! #parents #readersofinstagram #writers #momlife #mom #writer #reading #metime #writerscommunity #writerslife #reader https://www.instagram.com/p/CDW7OwtgaoQ/?igshid=sg23t4k6pe27

Happy Thursday Everyone! The weekend is so close just one more day! I’ve been trying to figure out what to do for vacation this year which got me thinking if you could take a weekend vacation to somewhere that was from a story where would you go? I’m not even sure where I would pick? My favorite series mostly takes place in the Never Never which is def not a place to vacation. Oh but they do make a pit stop in New Orleans which sounds like a good place to visit. #booknerd #bookworm #book #reader #readingislit #readingtime #bookstagram #booklovers #vacation #story #storytime https://www.instagram.com/p/B8hl3KSAbLT/?igshid=1olty8bs04o2u

Magic comes at a price. I’m gonna guess the price may involve selling your soul? Just a guess. I haven’t read this but I do love the cover but am also slightly creeped out. Has a book cover ever been slightly creepy? #booknerd #bookworm #book #reader #readers #reading #bookstagram #bookcover #book #booklover https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ZcKGngqbE/?igshid=1n3yq39a0mptr

This week is all about childhood flashbacks and Disney! Wonder how my son will like the story of Robbin Hood tonight? I feel like to him story time just prevents him from having to go to bed which he is all for preventing. Even if he’s tired,lol. What is everyone’s 2020 book goals? Or are you like me and have given up on setting reading goals? Being a parent takes up most of my time. Add that to a full time job finding time to read let alone write is far from easy. #mom #momlife #2020goals #readingchallenge #readinggoals #bookworm #bookstagram #reader #bookcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/B8HNJu0g8JG/?igshid=1hmdcsd7ln0iv

Since I haven’t seen any mention of it yet, except on twitter, i’d also like to remind everyone that not only is June LGBT pride month, but it’s also Indigenous History month!

Please take the time to support, uplift and remember your Native, First Nations, Aboriginal and otherwise Indigenous friends and family. We are here, we exist! We have a long and winding history that deserves to be heard and respected! The word ‘Indigenous’ is so wonderful, and so expansive, and includes so many different cultures under its arms. Go out, learn about our histories and our cultures. Talk to the Indigenous people around you! We’re everywhere!

And not only that, but also be sure to give extra support to LGBT indigenous voices in this community. We are a minority that is scarcely acknowledged, and in desperate need of it. Too many times have I gotten strange looks for being so openly Native and so openly a lesbian. It’s as if that combination is impossible for people to understand. Support our content, buy from our stores! Or at least just include us!

I’d like to wish a happy LGBT pride month, and a happy Indigenous History month to everyone, but especially us LGBT Native folks. This really is our month to be open about ourselves, and I sure intend to. 💗🏳️‍🌈
