I made a title card for my new book. I guess it's a way to make it feel real. Even though I've written eight books now, it's still weirdly hard to believe that I could ever finish another one. It seems impossible. A penny dropped in the wishing well.

I've thought a lot about the film 'The Death of Stalin' lately. In 2017 it felt like a hilarious yet chilling warning sign of history repeating, but now that history has done just so, it has morphed into a live webcam capturing Trump's cabinet of thin-skinned, spineless stooges with eerie precision.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Worlds collide when a dark queen's journey to break her curse forces her to take a human prisoner back to her realm. His brother will do anything to find out what happened, including infiltrating an exclusive nightclub where men seem to disappear. #P2Ppit #a #f #q #amquerying 📖

A graphic with wrath of a Wildflower in the center. Bubbles of text around it say: Morally grey, urban fantasy, cursed dark queen, two realms, dual pov, romance, missing brother, new adult

The pitch. Decades ago, the princes of Lucis realm cursed her before they left to take over earth. Liming the days she can cross realms to hunt them and forcing her to take a mortal soul each visit has made killing the princes difficult, but not impossible. Now she is finally closing in on the prince with the key to breaking her curse, but she doesn't know that one of the mortal monsters she took on her journey to vengeance has a very loyal brother. Ryland finally has the job he needs at greeds, the exclusive nightclub where his brother was last seen two years ago. As he gets closer to discovering what happened to his brother and a trail of other missing men, he meets a beautiful partner to help him with the hunt. Together they find that their government is lying to them and monsters are real. And they are hunting one.

All writers get rejections: They're part of the process of putting your work out there. Just got two this week, and both sting a little, but they're also badges, little reminders that you're doing the work, taking the risks. And they'll keep coming, until you barely notice them.

A pink themed moodboard that features prominent color circles. In the left corner, the largest image is a neon sign that says, “You’re not in love, you’re just drunk.” Below it is a picture of two girls nose to nose smiling. Other images include silhouettes standing around a bonfire, a college lane lined with fall-colored trees, a closeup of a bright red car and its headlight, two girls laying on their backs with their arms around each other, each with one arm raised. Other images include red solo cups at a party, a crowd at a party silhouetted by pink light, a girl walking away with pink hair, and a girl with dark hair eyes closed with his chin raised as her hair is blown into her face. She’s backlit by lights out of focus.
