Just realized I never announced this here! VESUVIUS is getting a sequel—ICARUS FELL! 🎉🪽 The reader response has been so overwhelmingly positive that my publisher didn’t hesitate to greenlight book 2 :’) Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d become an author of a duology.

Author’s first magazine feature! I’m so grateful for QSaltLake for highlighting my upcoming attendance at FanX Salt Lake as a local queer author. This was such a cool surprise, and I’m in amazing company in the article.

Allegra has carved an incredibly strong space in the SFF world for their clients. Their vision for upscaling my adult desert-set, enemies-to-lovers, queer fantasy, RED WASTELAND, is so, so, so powerful (editors… keep us in mind!). HIGMA to come soon for those curious!

NEWS! 💌 Starry-eyed to announce I’m now represented by Allegra Martschenko (@allegramartsch) at BookEnds Literary! After a whirlwind 2 weeks of querying and 10 offers of rep, I couldn’t be more excited to have secured such an excellent agent, especially as I expand into adult fantasy.

To all who see their hurts, loves, ambitions, and dreams reflected in Felix and Loren, this book is for you. Please remember that someday, you will find those who see you as you deserve to be understood. Thank you for being part of my mythology.

Today VESUVIUS releases, and I’m a published author. Felix’s story came from a place of hurt, but by the love of the hands it’s passed through, it became one of healing. Even as a writer, I’ll never find the words to thank those who held me through it. Now the story is yours.

Happy pride month 🏳️‍⚧️ If you want to help fund a trans person’s top surgery later this year, preordering my very queer book about boys kissing in the final days of Pompeii would mean the world to me :) 💕 Out June 10!

Two weeks until VESUVIUS is out in the world ✨✨✨ Should I reveal the secret hiding under the dust jacket soon?

My hands are shaking as I type this. I’m unbelievably honored to announce that the final blurb for VESUVIUS is by CS Pacat, whose books were the first place I saw my traumas on page. VESUVIUS simply would not exist without Pacat.

Top surgery consultation (REAL) on June 11, the day after my debut novel launches, with surgery hopefully happening before the year is out

Getting asked to blurb another author’s debut actually was incredibly cool, especially when the book was SOOOO GOOD

I made this beautiful Jaskier coat in 2022, but I’ve since dropped 6 sizes. I’m going to a ren faire on Sunday. So. Wish me luck in deconstructing and resizing on a very tight timeline?

It’s my birthday, and in less than a month, I’ll be a published author ☀️ To everyone who’s stuck by me this long, I wouldn’t have made it here without you.

Just had a call with my insurance company’s gender care manager and confirmed my plan WILL cover my top surgery after I hit my out-of-pocket max I will probably open up $10 query critiques and maybe some small needle-art comms to raise money for out-of-pocket soon

Yeah no sorry I haven’t been writing lately. It’s just that I’ve filled my life with beautiful girls who I would much rather stare at than a blank word doc

BLURB REVEAL! 🔥 I’m such a fan of @schwartzwords.bsky.social and I’m so so grateful she blurbed VESUVIUS. She writes the type of rep I needed when I was a teen—plus-size heroes and neurodivergent love stories. Thank you, Leanne 🤍🤍🤍

IT’S HERE!! The pre-order campaign for VESUVIUS just launched, and it’s explosive 🔥 Submit your proof of purchase by June 2 and receive a special gift. Pre-ordering is the best way to support a debut author. This is just a little way for me to give back to you 🤍

Thank you, Kayla, for everything. I can't recommend her work enough—especially her latest release, The Corruption of Hollis Brown, which launched this week!

Each of K. Ancrum’s books has taught me something vital about tenderness. Icarus was a revelation about the tiny details of love. I look up to her craft so much. When she sent over her blurb for VESUVIUS, it was one of those moments where things suddenly felt so real.

BLURB REVEAL 🌋 Beyond honored to reveal that the inimitable @ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social had such kind words for VESUVIUS. His debut, Hell Followed With Us, was the first book I read from Peachtree Teen, and I’ve admired his craft ever since. He’s a powerful writer.

VESUVIUS has its first trade review…. and it’s a STAR! 🌟 I’m so grateful to the folks at Publishers Weekly for seeing right to the heart of my debut’s “themes of class, gender, and healing from trauma.” This is a major honor.

Announcing the cast of the VESUVIUS audiobook—the phenomenally talented Max Meyers as Felix & Amin El Gamal as Loren! ✨ I knew the moment I heard their samples they were the exact right voices for my characters. I can’t wait for readers to hear this story brought to life.

Hi Indie booksellers! I have good news—the deadline to nominate VESUVIUS for Kids’ Indie Next is now May 5th! If you’re looking to support a debut queer and trans author, I’d be forever grateful if you’d drop us a nomination 🤍

Cat from TTBM is asexual & demiromantic, which is the first time I’ve written my own sexuality into a book (including turning down a marriage proposal). In the same way I’ve always just wanted to write books and hang out with friends, she only wants to be an actress with a tight-knit friend group
