True to the motto: “Cringe? Cool!” 🫵🏼

Welcome to my publishing house & the books i’ve written so far:

This is also a self-help group. Kidding!

A little… I did start one though, in 2024.

It can be about anything we want. Seriously, you and I are the only audience that exists right now.

My name is River—no last name, because I cannot continue fueling the patriarchy. Coverture? No, thanks. Speaking of which, in the words of our beloved Flavia Dzodan: “My feminism will be intersectional or it will be bullshit!”

Just had to sprinkle that in, so you know where I stand.

Anyhoo, I wrote four books and founded my own publishing company. Check them out above at—you guessed it: “My Books”! They’re all available, like, this very second. Immediately!!! I hereby invite you to a place where no loneliness exists. Say hello to my world!

Right. A little further introduction: I don’t know about you (yet), but everything always overwhelms me. Pine trees swaying in the wind do it with reverence, and the apparently very viable chance of us living in a computer simulation manages to do it with… well, it fucking manages to do it. 😃

Our current era is the most creative one to date, which is a proven fact because there are multiple YouTube videos about it, actually. Oh, I am ALWAYS right. Opportunities seem to know no end (if you’re a white, conventionally attractive nepo baby). Forever-possibilities… Sounds magical, doesn’t it?

Keep yourself updated, keeping myself employed.

Keep yourself updated, keeping myself employed.

… Until, of course, one realizes that every unique thought has already been conceptualized, hmm, circa a million times. No new idea can sound truly original anymore. Only recycling what sells. I mean, did we honestly need a reboot of “The Crow,” or a sequel to “Avatar”? The answer is no. When will the Marvel movies meet their end? Guess. And what on earth was the 2010 Michael Jackson album? A voice impersonator singing, mostly. Didn’t Sony get sued over that? Remember that shit?? Jesus. My poor idol MJ. Even after death, they haunt ya for profit!

Well, artists shall but borrow; what else is there, anyway? Making recognizable stuff is super tough though, but you already know that, right? Ahem, yeah, staying positive. It’s all working out for me. Gratitude journaling… I… know!! Ugh!

Ladies, Gays, and everyone in between or outside: Welcome to my website! Oh, and I am going to utilize the hell out of it, you guys! We all will. Building community. 🧘🏻‍♀️

Visit “My Books” for more info about my kiddos and (please, please) buy them, okay? Three poetry collections, two centuries in the making, one debut novel. So far! And the perk here: No ads, since there’s no subscription! Keeping that anti-capitalist spirit alive. I want you to hold each story in those pretty, little hands. They are all yours. And mine. Forever, from now on.
