Been keeping my lips shut about this one for a while. Super excited to be a part of THESE KINDRED HEARTS with some really really talented folks. I’m writing the “I will burn it all down for you” supernatural boyfriend this Buffy teen always wanted 😂

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue. TWENTY. As in, they call that getting slammed. So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind. TWENTY is a lot.

Listen, listen, listen, this is the book I shove into people's hands who have come back to reading with Fourth Wing and are looking for something with similar vibes. This duet is IMMACULATE. Ikenna has never done a single thing wrong in her life, and I stand by that.

I have been reminding myself that in my DNA is the legacy and lineage of people who have fought back, resisted, thrived and survived under the most untenable of white supremacist conditions. I am writing this to remind you too.

For all the flak George Lucas gets for his writing, pretty hard to deny the "so this is how liberty dies" line is an unfortunately spot on banger.
