I like to think I’m a vaguely sentient, rational person and then two seconds of early sun hits my face and I remember I’m just a plant that overthinks

Fighting for my life to make sure people know that my cottagecore book is ‘let’s pour our grief and rage into working in our garden bcos it’s the only safe space for it, and while we’re at it let’s think about snogging girls’ vibes, not a ‘let’s gloat about our rights being taken away’ kinda delio

‘How do you come up with book ideas?’ 1) think about all your friends 2) think about all the things that make them cry 3) write those things down Congrats! You wrote a book!

I feel like you could have so much fun with running a contest to see if people can guess what your next book is about based on a few examples of what you’re researching bcos you know you always find the *coolest* facts

Mia was an absolute dream artist for me and the fact that she accepted the commission and was such a dream to work with has been one of my favourite parts of the publishing process so far.

You are fantastic. You are a living grimoire. You are the dreams of an eldritch goddess. You are a tiny library in the hollow of an ancient oak. You are a swarm of faeries writing poetry on the night sky with streaks of glittery flames.

The most fun a girl can have is low key bullying her friend by sending increasingly traumatic updates about the horrors her character is experiencing

It's 5 days until FATED WINDS AND PROMISING SEAS is out in the US, so bringing back this, and if you have any other questions, let me know! #BookSky

D I need to read TIL DEATH DO US BARD first? No, both books are completely standalone, set in different worlds. You can read in any order.

TDDUB was described as a hug, is this one the same? I'd say it's more holding your partner's hand at the top of a rollercoaster. It's tenser.

Does FW&PS have D&D vibes like TDDUB? Not as such, but it is still full of adventure, conflict, and excitement, plus found family and ride or die crew

Will there be content warnings for this book? Yes, there will be content warnings both in the book and on my website

‘What if my friends all hate me?’ But imagine what if they think about you all the time. What if the tiny things you do live large in their minds. What if they’ll associate certain things with you forever, no matter how briefly those things were actually yours.

I saw a hare today out on a walk with a friend and I’m just superstitious enough to see it as a good omen. A sign of things on the turn. Just seeing it in itself was a bit of luck. With any luck it’ll spin off more and more and more
