Big news, friends! 🌒✨Something’s stirring in Fern Glade...
No one believes her.
But she knows what she saw.I'm thrilled (and honestly a little emotional) to say:
My debut novel is coming soon!It’s a story woven with magic and memory, about what happens when the ones we trust look away—and why every voice deserves to be heard.Stay close. The woods are watching. 🌲🖤#IKnowWhatISaw #FernGladeWhispers #DebutAuthor #ComingSoon #DarkFantasy #WitchyReads #BookTease

Lately, I’ve felt a kind of exhaustion that goes

Lately, I’ve felt a kind of exhaustion that goes deeper than tired-a bone-deep weariness from watching our country unravel, from seeing compassion traded for cruelty, and from feeling powerless as policies strip away hope and dignity.As a woman, as a parent, as a human being, I’m overwhelmed by the noise, the injustice, and the silence of those who say “it doesn’t affect me.”I wrote a poem about this exhaustion-about being beyond tired in a world that seems to have forgotten kindness.If you’re feeling it too, you’re not alone.Read the full poem and let’s remind each other that our voices still matter.👉 https://scrink.com (Link in the bio)#Exhaustion #WomensVoices #SocialJustice #Poetry #SpeakUp #MentalHealth #scrink
