The month of April has been full of work and relaxation, which I’ve enjoyed immensely. There’s a kind of peace that comes with spending weekends in your own house.

I co-hosted #LGBTQWrimo for Camp NaNoWriMo this month with my friend Amara! It’s a monthlong writer’s chat to go along with National Novel Writing Month.

I spent the month working on two different fictional projects – a short story in the Elisade universe called Pack Ties and…. a sexy fiction project under a pen name. Check out the hashtag for all of the great responses that everyone wrote this month!
