A cucumber in sunglasses. Broccoli mid-dance. An onion having a genuinely terrible day.

Veggies Gone Wild is 53 pages of kawaii vegetables with absurd attitudes, drawn with some of the thickest lines I use anywhere. Square format, single-sided, dark backing sheet behind every design.

It's the book I'd hand to someone who tells me they aren't creative. The shapes are so wide open that whatever you do looks intentional, and you can finish a page in one sitting. Finishing matters more than people give it credit for.

Kids color it. So do plenty of adults. Link in bio.

“Stop being emotional. She’s just getting forgetful.”
My brother said that to me in our mother’s kitchen, holding two past-due notices.

She balanced a checkbook to the penny for fifty years. If it was off by eleven cents, she found the eleven cents. So a late notice in that house wasn’t a bill. It was a flare going up over a treeline.
He didn’t say I was wrong about the envelopes. He couldn’t — they were right there in his hand. What he did instead was move the conversation off the evidence and onto me. The problem wasn’t the late notice anymore. The problem was my temperament.

And I let him do it. For months, I let him do it.

That’s the part I’d take back.

I spent seven years caring for both of my parents, mostly alone. I wrote down everything I wish somebody had told me standing in that kitchen — what to do in the months before anyone agrees there is a problem, how to get eyes on a parent’s accounts without taking them over, and how to survive being the one who noticed first.
If somebody has told you you’re making too much of this — you’re not overreacting.

You’re Not Overreacting is out now. Link's in my bio — Kindle, paperback and hardcover.

Forty pages of one Black woman at home. Washing her hair. Sweeping. Pouring something. Stretching in the morning light.

Adire indigo and mudcloth patterns in the fabric, rattan chairs, beaded curtains, a monstera in the corner. Ordinary moments, drawn big.

The part I care most about is what isn't in it. Nothing is pre-shaded. No gray laid into her skin, no black filled into her hair. You choose her skin tone. You choose the locs or the braids. Most books have made that call for you before you've opened the cover.

Here's a decision I keep making and almost never explain.

I build a book around one place and let the same characters move through it. Ghosties & Goodies is fifty pages inside a single bakery, with the same ghost, the same skeleton, the same cat wandering in and out. Mara at Home is forty pages of one woman in one house.

The alternative is forty unrelated objects — a pumpkin, a teapot, a cat — which colors perfectly well and gives you no particular reason to open the book again tomorrow.

A coloring book is allowed to have a thread running through it. That's most of what I'm doing over here.
