Ok so someone recommended I make a mood board for the aesthetic for my book. I thought I’d struggle but actually this was fun. It’s my first mood board. What do you think? Does this give you the vibes for a book you might want to read? #booksky #scifi

That’s a wrap on my penultimate edit of the sequel to Afterburn and it’s already in my editor’s inbox. Is it equally or more fucked up than the first? ✅ Is it full of twists and tragedies? ✅ Is it ❤️breaking? Hope so ✅ Will the final book come out soon after? ✅ Stay tuned for more updates 👀
