The postscripts I put on most of my emails and social media posts...

P.S. I promise the dog doesn’t die…but I make no assurances about anyone else. 😈

P.P.S. You should unfollow me now if you have issues with "strong" language, sex out of wedlock, or LGBTQ+ characters. 👈 Top 3 things my one-star reviews complain about.

The other day I re-read the last one and had a moment of staring at the “my one-star reviews” part. I huffed a laugh because while obviously, it’s my books getting the reviews, it almost sounds like there are one-star reviews out there about ME. 😂

Which, I mean, come on, my books are a big part of me. They spring from my subconscious, so they are kind of Meta me.

If we met at a dinner party, I would more than likely drop the F-💣. However, I would not be having sex out of wedlock because I’m happily married. But if you told me you had issues with the LGBTQ+ community, things could get heated.

It’s unlikely I’d pull a Sydney Rye and physically attack you. I am good with words though, due to the fact that I write books for a living and am awesome at it. So you might bleed…just a little. 😈

But at the end of the day, when my books leave my subconscious, get formatted, and sold, they are no longer me. And this is the freaky part folks…they are YOU.

You, as the reader, see the story through your lens and it becomes yours.

So all those one-star reviews about my books are really about the reader. “Needs a muzzle” is one of my favorites.

I’ve always strived to be a woman people felt needed to shut the fuck up. What better way to take down the patriarchy than to fully express myself, am I right?

The thing is, the person who wrote that "muzzle" one-star review…they are actually revealing their own fears.

They are afraid they upset people, that they go too far, and their words need to be taken from them...that they need a muzzle. Which is just...ouch. Right?

It's one thing to judge someone else, but when you realize that all your judgments are just reflections of the fears you carry about yourself...that's some heavy shit right there.

Sydney Rye and her dog, Blue, exact justice with a vengeance. The dog doesn’t die, but the bad guys do.

You may just learn something about yourself.
