Dystopian story - Heart-Shaped Locket
I was poised today to enter a contest. The requirements couldn't have been more perfect! They wanted a dystopian story about a heart-shaped locket. My friends who've read my novel, The Waves of Dissonance, wrote me and encouraged me to enter, so I edited my Chapter 1 accordingly (the one where Waverly has the ladybug-shaped pendant) ONLY to read an article that said the same authors tend to win that contest every. single. time.

Messed up!
Today on TikTok, a reader told me my novel totally messed her up... in a good way! I don't know how to add emojis, so here's her comment distilled without them. "Laaaadyyyy!!!! You had me messed up with this one!!! I was close to losing my every loving mind!! Loved it!!!!" She left a great review on Goodreads, too. (See attached.) I'm still smiling. Thank you so much, lovely lady!
