Day 6: How I Became a Writer I loved “writing books” when I was little (a.k.a. drawing pictures and having my mom write the words) and have always wanted to try writing for real! During the 2020 shutdown, I finally wrote my first novel. I’ve been writing, editing, and brainstorming ever since!

I can describe my novel's hook a million different ways, but if you want to know how it *feels*, these songs paint a picture of Phoebe's emotional journey. Also, it's got some real bangers. More at the link. open.spotify.com/playlist/4wP... #amquerying #writingcommunity #revpit

Today for Day 3 of the #Revpit showcase lead up, we are talking playlists! Because my book is a Gothic Historical Thriller set in 18th century Venice, I built a historically accurate soundtrack to match the tension of the narrative! #amquerying #writingcommunity

#RevPit 2026! I'm excited to introduce Chemical Solutions for Lonely Hearts, a sci-fi romcom with real chemistry. If Ali Hazelwood and Andy Weir co-wrote a novel, it might be this tale of two awkward scientists who must put aside their mutual dislike to save the world from mass starvation.
