State of the Trout: New Jealous Patrons selection, Discord, Twitter, and secrets…

I have so much good news lately. So much. And… I can’t share the two biggest things. Of course. Secrets: What I can share, right off the bat, is that I’ve signed a contract for a new Abigail Barnette book. I cannot tell you with who yet. I cannot tell you much about it at all except to say that it’s another contemporary erotica with an age-gap M/F pairing, pansexual leads, and a ton of kink.…

Jealous Haters Book Club: Crave, chapter 13 "Just Bite Me"

Jealous Haters Book Club: Crave, chapter 13 “Just Bite Me”

Once again, the chapter title has absolutely zero to do with the chapter’s content. No mention of vampires, biting, nobody tells anybody off, there’s no reason for this to be the chapter title. That’s really starting to get on my nerves. (more…)

A Twitter Story

About a month ago, a friend of mine made a noncontroversial statement on Twitter about the potential dangers of a common over-the-counter pain medication. People, including one uniquely obsessed doctor, harassed this person for days. Round the clock, non-stop QTing and long threads about why this commonly known fact—that Tylenol can damage your liver—is wrong, dangerous misinformation of the…

Show Diary: ASDLGLKAHDSGLKHAASKHL

I may have picked the wrong show to do a show diary for, my friendoroonies. Or the right one? I’m not sure. After I returned from my annual UP writing retreat, the vibe at rehearsals seemed… off. The production moved from our rehearsal space and into the theater and on the first night there was no air conditioning. So, I chalked it up to that. But the next night, it wasn’t any better. There was…

JUNE IS THE GAYEST

JUNE IS THE GAYEST

That’s right. It’s June, and that means I’m once again heading up to Gay, Michigan, to chill for a week of isolation with my friends. You know what you can do while I’m gone? You can read my Radish serial, Taken By The Alpha King, which has hit 2.5 MILLION views! I will return rested, with more freckles than I had when I left, and ready to rock, in a week.

I WAS PREY edibles game

I WAS PREY edibles game

Have you seen the absolutely bonkers show I Was Prey? I started watching it on Discovery+ and I became hooked. The marketing explains that the show “recounts the hauntingly true stories of people who found themselves in a life or death situation, face-to-face with a dangerous animal.” What they should have said was, “recounts the hauntingly true stories of people who made fucking terrible…

Show Diary: Disney's Beauty and the Beast: Rehearsals Week 2 and 3

Show Diary: Disney’s Beauty and the Beast: Rehearsals Week 2 and 3

I may have picked the absolute worst show to keep a show diary for, to be perfectly honest, becasue at this early stage in rehearsals, there’s not a lot to report. Much of that is due to the fact that I’m a villager. There are only three villager scenes, so I’m not called so often. Especially since we’ve absolutely crushed our blocking in record time. Which is good, because… Covid shut-down:…

everything is bad

due to the state of my country and events that have absolutely shattered my capacity for humor or joy or even baseline feelings of anything other than sorrow and anger, i’ll be taking this week off.

Show Diary: Disney's Beauty and the Beast - Music Rehearsals Week One

Show Diary: Disney’s Beauty and the Beast – Music Rehearsals Week One

For every single musical I’ve been in (and I’ve been in a super lot), the first rehearsals are always music rehearsals. The first week of Beauty and the Beast rehearsals for me covered two particular songs: “The Mob Song” and “Belle.” I get to sing my favorite line! In “The Mob Song” I’ve always loved the line, “We don’t like what we don’t understand/in fact it scares us/and this monster is…

SHOW DIARY: Disney's Beauty and the Beast - First Cast Meeting

SHOW DIARY: Disney’s Beauty and the Beast – First Cast Meeting

The other day, I was thinking about the highs and lows of the recent production of Sister Act: The Musical that I was in (I was Sister Mary Patrick and I was fabulous) and how I wasn’t bright enough to write any of it down in my journal. See, the thing is, between auditions for that show and the beginning of rehearsals, my BFF Jill died. And it sucked. And I stopped writing in my journal…

It's been some weird time.

It’s been some weird time.

Not to complain, but I feel like a lot of us are having a few weeks in a row here where it’s like… this is something you blame on astrology. This is what people mean when they say Mercury Retrograde or Neptune is in Uranus or whatever. I don’t know a lot about astrology, and I slept through most of astronomy. But what I mean is, it just feels like time and events are intensely weird. Does it…

TAKEN BY THE ALPHA KING debut week! Everything you need to know!

How excited am I about the fact that my latest project, Taken by the Alpha King, debuts on the Radish fiction app THIS FRIDAY?! SO FREAKING EXCITED! The thing is, this has been kept under my hat, air-tight, no details, don’t give stuff away, Jenny, for so long now that I feel like I’m just gonna blorf out every single plot detail in my excitement. So, I’ve put together a primer. A “what you…

Jealous Haters Book Club: Crave, chapter 12, "It's All Fun and Games Until Someone Loses Their Life"

Jealous Haters Book Club: Crave, chapter 12, “It’s All Fun and Games Until Someone Loses Their Life”

That chapter title makes it sound like something exciting is going to happen here. Nothing exciting happens here. In fact, there’s no reason that this chapter and chapter thirteen shouldn’t have been the same chapter. I looked at the table of contents and there are like sixty-five chapters in this book. And that, my friends, immediately got me thinking that this was meant to be serialized…

10 Years of Hating, Jealously

10 Years of Hating, Jealously

You might not believe this. I know that I certainly don’t. But April 18th, 2022 is the TENTH BIRTHDAY OF THE JEALOUS HATERS BOOK CLUB. Our very first installment, way back before the club had a name, 50 Shades of Grey, chapter one, or why Ana is the shittiest friend ever, debuted to what I assumed would be an extremely limited audience. My career was stalled; I had nothing left to lose and…

Trout Nation Tarot Club!

Trout Nation Tarot Club!

Due to a change in YouTube’s mobile streaming policy… SATURDAY NIGHT TAROT IS BACK! You can find the link to the live stream and the question box here. I’ve gone with “Trout Nation Tarot Club” rather than “FItshaced Fortuneteller” because I recently learned that “fortuneteller” is perjorative/appropriative to some people and it’s better safe that hurt somebody’s feelings! It’s so much fun, so…
