My debut romantic miniseries hits ebook shelves on TUESDAY. The nerves bandying inside me are EPIC. Butterflies, bulldozers, and snarling direhounds, with the occasional roaming Cupid hoping to hit the hearts of readers everywhere.

Needing a palette cleanser in between ACOTAR, Emily Henry's books, and other longer fiction? RULES FOR FALLING is the perfect fit. My upcoming novelette might only be ~40 pages long, but it's got all the elements of an epic love story. a.co/d/0hwcvKQt

How to find love in a small town: 1. Hate your ex. 2. Tell everyone you know that you're never falling in love again. 3. Bump into a handsome stranger. 4. Ask him to pretend to date you for...reasons. 5. Go to a town festival. 6. Dance. 7. Share a kiss that lights a fire in both of you.

What elements do you have to get “right” when querying or submitting to editors, and what can wait for an editorial letter? For example, does a premise matter more than writing style? #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #publishing #lifequests

How do you choose your character names? When I was younger, I used name generators for inspiration. Nowadays, the name just pops into my head and I roll with it. 🙃 #amwriting #writingthoughts #romancewriter #startingabook #writesky

Best writing schedule for me? Sprints! Whenever I can fit them in. For 20 mins to 1 hour or (rarely) more. What about you? #amwriting #writingjourney #writingcommunity

Is it a writing vibe or a calling? I can't not write. It's an impulse I can't ignore. When I don't write, I feel twitchy... #writingthoughts #writesky #romancebooks #writingcommunity

Some facts about my writing journey: 1. I started querying in August 2025. 2. Signed with my agent in April 2026. 3. I try to write every day. Balancing multiple novels! 4. WIPs range from sweet to medium heat. #novelist #writingcommunity #romancereaders #amwriting #booklovers
