Anyone who has been on social media in the last few weeks has probably seen something about the new album announcement that singer/songwriter Taylor Swift has made. Her announcement of The Life of a Showgirl broke the internet and covered it in orange glitter.

While what we already know about The Life of a Showgirl beautifully fits my near-future speculative novel WIP, Laced, I’m here to inform you that my writing still hasn’t left its Tortured Poets Department era. Early this year I promised a poetry collection – at that time entitled Nineteen Shades – to be published near the end of this year. I am so excited to announce that I am in the process of preparing a re-branded, re-titled version of this collection for self-publication!

My poetry collection, entitled 20/20 Mirror holds forty poems that I wrote over the last five years of my life, and is slated for publication on October 18^th. I am proud of the work that I have done on this, and I truly hope that you will love it as much as I do.

Please help support me as I take on a rigorous marketing schedule in the time leading up to its release. I will be posting one Instagram Reel per day in the forty days leading up to its publication, as I reveal the title of each poem, as well as an excerpt and an accompanying song. Because this book is going to be self-published, I need as much exposure as I can get in the time leading up to and after its release.

There are definitely more details I have yet to share, but there’s so much, I can’t fit it all in one post! Let me know what questions you want answered in the comments below!
