  • Rini & Butler Scene Trip

    Rini & Butler in the wild! Well, in the outer city, but close enough. Most settings in Rini & Butler are in some shape or form inspired by very real settings in Meanjin | Brisbane, Australia. I’ve lived here for… Continue reading

  • Make like the Horrors and Persist

    The time between seasons always wears me out. My body doesn’t love the fluctuation of temperatures and the sheer amount of caffeine I consume apparently can’t help with that. I’m also sleeping poorly … but through it all, I’m practicing… Continue reading

  • No one likes him.

    Rini & Butler might be mostly about a kid and service-droid, and how they do and don’t get along, but there are a few other characters to love and hate. Unless you’re the first ever beta-reader who refused to trust… Continue reading

  • The “Company” is Me, Myself & I

    Self-publishing with a tiny budget means that you’re the entire team. My previous experience in the publishing industry definitely helped me along (I was a publishing and editing assistant that was effectively the Jack of All Trades), but there is… Continue reading

  • I’m on Goodreads and I got Verified

    It’s honestly odd to look at. Though there was a hoop or two I had to jump through together, it was relatively easy. I mean, I can’t put it on my resume–maybe–but there’s something “official” about it. Trying to sort… Continue reading

    What happens when a stray cat’s personality rubs off on a service-droid? ‘Do you enjoy working for my sister?’ Claude asks Aquila with a laugh. ‘No,’ Aquila responds, cutting Claude’s laughter short. Claudia looks at Aquila, snarl building. ‘Aquila, schedule… Continue reading

  • Don’t know if I’ve mentioned this

    Aquila is an Omega-5. A new model service-droid that is designed for flawless assistance in one’s day-to-day. Its core law forbids it to harm, or allow harm to come to, humans. Rini is a kid on the street who trusts… Continue reading

  • Romance? No.

    ‘Is it a love story?’ a coworker asked when I gave her a beta copy. ‘Absolutely not …’ It was the first time I questioned whether I should change the cover 😅 . It never occurred to me at any… Continue reading

    Romance? No.

  • We are a go!

    My online store launches today! It’s little, and broken, but still … functional as far as I can tell! (I am literally doing all of this on my own and thank you for your patience 🙇) If you live in… Continue reading

    We are a go!
