I grew up poor and rural and didn’t have a lot of access to books. You know what i did? Went to the library and checked out 30+ books at a time. Borrowed books from friends and neighbors. Reread all of my favorites. Got a job so I could start buying books on my own.

I have a BA in music and an MFA in creative writing and I sold my Phantom of the Opera retelling SING THE NIGHT with a music-based magic system in a two-book deal and it comes out this fall 💅

I am deep into edits for SING THE NIGHT and wildly considering covering my posts with Taylor Swift easter eggs. But I’m an adult and instead I’ll fold myself back into work.
Add on goodreads and follow for exciting bookish updates…some of which might be sneakily layered into this post.
