I FINALLY Published No Rest for the Wicked (Against All Odds and My Better Judgment)
After an unreasonable amount of procrastination, second-guessing, formatting battles, and asking myself “why am I like this,” I finally published No Rest for the Wicked: Nursery Crimes, Volume I.
This book is the beginning of my soon-to-be Nursery Crimes series, which exists because someone needed to rewrite classic nursery rhymes for adults who are tired, overstimulated, and one minor inconvenience away from losing it.
No Rest for the Wicked is exactly what it sounds like:
dark, sarcastic, bedtime-adjacent poetry for people who do not rest, do not relax, and definitely do not sleep peacefully through the night.
These are not children’s rhymes.
They are for:
-Exhausted parents
-Burned-out adults
-People running on caffeine, spite, and obligation
-Anyone who has ever looked at a “sweet” nursery rhyme and thought, this needs more realism
This book exists to say what we’re all thinking but usually whisper into pillows at 2 a.m.
It took longer than planned to publish because:
-Life happened
-My brain did its thing
-Amazon and I briefly became enemies
But it’s live now.
Finished.
Real.
Out in the world causing emotional support laughter.
If you like dark humor, satire, and the comforting reminder that you’re not the only one barely holding it together — this one’s for you.
Sleep is optional.
Sarcasm is not.
