Almost, almost got my name right. And I said it all Latin-y with an accent and I didn't spell it. Just missed the d at the end😊 #Starbucks #Libertad

Sooooo it's #authorlifemonth and I'm counting the days in February with hopefully a fresh post. Thanks to the lovely @missdahlelama for creating this challenge!!! Okay so confession, our first book was a YA fantasy called #themarkofnoba that was all types of fun but @dos_twinjas volunteered to show our YA stuff while I did the honors of highlighting the NA and adult books we have coming out. So I bring you #samepage , our debut NA contemporary romance that showcased a less than perfect story of two people perfect for each other with loads of obstacles In their way. Had fun setting up their first installment. Cant wait to finish this baby.

Dumpster Diving: An Observation on Class in Children’s Books

When my sister and I were kids, we used to play next to (and sometimes on) the dumpsters in the parking lot while my mother cleaned offices. At the age of twenty-two, my mom was a single parent of two small children, putting herself through college while working as a waitress and cleaning lady. We were on food stamps and participated in WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) and AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children). I had free lunch at school. Welfare paid for our childcare so my mom could work and take classes, and somehow, we managed to squeak by.

 Eventually my mom graduated and took a job as a teacher, and things improved. They improved even more when she remarried and we became a two-income household. My lunches went from free to reduced-price. And by high school I paid top dollar for my soggy pizza and curly fries and had an allowance of three dollars a week. Which wasn’t half bad in the 1980s, all things considered.

I was a smart kid and did well at school. I got a generous financial-aid package to attend Harvard and found myself living in the Yard, taking classes from future and former US Cabinet officials when I was the age my mom had been when she was cleaning offices and struggling to put food on the table. I was surrounded by private school kids and legacy students. To say I experienced culture shock is putting it mildly.

TLDR~ A company offered me a job *IF* I cancel "Fins & Crinolines" and don't produce anything for it while I'm working for them. I need an income desperately rn. So either my Patreon gets enough funding to become my income in the next few days, or I have to cancel F&C and take the job...

This has been one of the most difficult decisions of my life. Please share this post with any F&C fans you know, boost it, donate to my Patreon if you can. Anything to get the word around.

Please help! I literally only have a few days to make a life changing decision ;;;A;;;
