Every adopted or in foster care child has one experience in common: loss. CONNECTIVE PARENTING is a blueprint for parents navigating that loss with their child so they can tackle their child’s most difficult behaviours. #NF #A #pitmad

Dear @Meta I have been locked out of my account. I have sent multiple emails. Please help!
Pleased to announce that I have officially signed a contract to publish my first book on foster care and adoption with @dixibooks. Now the real work begins!
Adoptee and displaced people are the owners of their narratives. It’s a gift when they share their lived experiences with you. #adopteetwitter #adopteevoice #displaced #livedexperience

Adoption is not a solution to abortion nor is it the opposite. Conflating the two separate topics is creating a very harmful rhetoric. #adopteetwitter #adopteevoices #displaced #livedexperience #notyourpawn

Got my first official rejection from my book proposal. Followed immediately by an email from a editor of a large publication telling me to submit anytime and that I was a great writer. What a roller coaster this is.
Ok #writerscommunity talk to me about @Grammarly. Is it necessary? Helpful? Other options?
I didn't plan to be an author. I just loved to write and heard a story calling. Today my debut novel Beneath the Seams is born! I am a published author! Reader, this story is yours now. May it burrow into your heart and become part of your journey. amazon.com/dp/B0925GYRR2

No one knows why they hear a baby cry at Hollow Bridge. What is known is if you leave a candy bar on the crossties, something will take a bite.12y/o Emma never believed the myth til a ghost came to her. Now she must solve a curse or lose something dear,forever. #PitMad #MG #H #MR

I hoard cremains. For a Borderline, death = abandonment. A life of abuse, loss, murder, and mental illness, this is my process of learning to let go of the mounting boxes of ashes. #NF #MH #A #OWN #Pitmad

Social Workers are trained to help clients with drug and alcohol problems, but that does not mean they are immune from the problems themselves. I KNOW. Candid words of pain, hope, and humor of my journey to freedom from alcohol dependence. #PitMad #A #NF

THIS IS US x BEHOLD THE DREAMERS An Indian-American brought up at her parent’s roadside motel escapes to India to pursue a high-profile career, but working abroad only leads to confronting the terror that killed her childhood love. Can fear conquer fear? #PitMad #A #WF #OWN

HIDEAWAYxA MADNESS OF SUNSHINE In a dark house on the edge of an old graveyard, bodies may stay buried, but secrets do not. 2 women, 1 a jaded hacker & the other a peculiar archivist, fall in love. But can they build a life together with death stalking them? #PitMad #A #RS #LGBT
After magic is lost when a sacred tree is burned, life in Brienna’s world is ordinary. But when her brother is taken by a sorceress, Brie gets her wish for adventure in the worst way. Her 18th birthday looms with a promise of power but the price may be Tam’s life #PitMad #F
