POV: me with secret deals I can’t talk about yet and beautiful covers that can’t be revealed yet. So excited for my authors though!! ❤️

I am so excited and profoundly grateful to announce my adult debut!!! ❤️🎉 This book is for anyone who has ever had to carry something alone for much too long. For the misunderstood. For those who have had to learn to choose themselves. @melissarechter.bsky.social and I are going on an adventure!

Would love to see more cozy mysteries! Whether it’s a traditional one a la Amanda Flower or something a bit more in the vein of DIAL A FOR AUNTIES. I love bookish or cooking premises, something that is lightly paranormal (think witches or a friendly ghost.) and an animal companion! #mswl

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

It’s the first week in office in 2025 and I’ve already made my colleagues groan because of a pun I made. It’s a great start to a new year ✨

Really in the mood for an Appalachian witchy/folk magic novel that I can curl up with this winter. Think dark forests, mountain ranges older than civilizations, and creepy beings that live between the trees. #mswl

Peter Pan was one of my favorite fairytales growing up, so I’m thrilled to be working with @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social and @laneheymont.bsky.social on a darker retelling! ✨
