You know those gauzy, romantic indie movie flashbacks of the dead wife? This book has those vibes, only the wife is alive and they're gay.

🌿 autistic
🌿 set in Appalachia
🌿 Not Like Other Girls x Manic Pixie Dream Girl (but with examinations of both these tropes)

Sixteen years ago a woman traded a child for information that would save a kingdom.
Now that daughter, who the world thinks is dead, has to find her soulmate and convince him to help break the curse on her--if the vine growing from her body doesn't kill her first.

I lost my therapist when I moved, but today I found out he's leaving the profession. Which means he's losing access to the email that's the only contact info I have for him.
Which means that when I sign with an agent, I won't be able to email him to let him know. I am SO devastated. 😭

I’m doing a full watch through of the X-Files for the first time and just watched Home.
I am the world’s biggest scaredy cat and I can genuinely say I didn’t find that episode scary in the slightest. I don’t understand how it got pulled from the air.

Heeey if you want a dark vampiric fantasy romance with blood, murder, and kissing, do I have the book for you!
It also has a polyamorous M/M/F romance with trans and Filipino characters! I think it's pretty cool! There are two sequels coming, but MISTRESS OF LIES is available now!

The hardest part of working on a book with 7 POVs is counting the people in a scene. Turns out I do not, in fact, know how to count that high.

I rambled to my dad about how I don't want to write and now I have been shamed* into finishing this chapter
*he said he'd give me some time to decide if I want to write, in a way that was a clear, yet supportive, dismissal

Me, a few months ago: this book is set partially on a fantasy version of Curaçao, I should wait to work on it til I get back!
Me, now: oh shit I forgot the whole damn book is about the rise of fascism, maybe that's why I struggled to work on it in the states
