Happy Frick'ng Friday! This time, on a Thursday. 😎 🤔Why is this being shared on Thursday when RA loves a Frick'ng Friday alliteration, you ask?

For Life Teasers!
My current series, The X Club, takes it's name from the kink club the characters are members of. But more importantly, it alludes to the fact that each book has a non-binary/genderfluid character.

My Writing Process
The idea of the #MyWritingProcess blog post is to get to know how other writers do what they do. I thoroughly enjoyed reading others', so I'm doing my own (if anyone cares or wants to do one too).

Confidence or Lack Thereof…
Writers are a rare breed who can simultaneously think we have the most amazing ideas that simply must be shared with the world, while also feeling crippling self doubt. How can such a huge group of people think they are both awesome and ordinary? For writers with serious self-esteem issues, you will hear that it … Continue reading Confidence or Lack Thereof…

Is Writing a Job?
Do you have a day job that doesn't involve your creative writing? Yes? Me too. I'm a teacher, and I have found that most writers (except the most successful) have day jobs. There are the teachers like me who write in limited free time, agents and book reviewers who make their living as close as … Continue reading Is Writing a Job?
