Such a great night 🥰

And finally, there's even an audiobook planned...you may be hearing a familiar voice very soon 😉

Our editor and the brains behind the whole book, Kat Brown, has been such a champion for this book after the massive Unbound debacle. All of us who wrote for the book are so grateful to her for her dedication to NOTATS! You can preorder a copy below 🫡

Now I need to stop procrastinating and actually finish some chapter edits! Thanks so much to everyone who's supported me. Who knows; maybe you'll be seeing 'Out of Your Depth' on shelves in a few years? 👀

NWN have been invaluable in my career as an author, and I would not be where I am today without their support. My ECA cohort are such talented individuals, all with such a broad range of skills and interests! Feeling so blessed to have their support, knowledge, and camaraderie 🔥

I'm currently working with a fabulous author on rewrites for my debut sci-fi novel, 'Out of Your Depth' (yes, the octopus one 😂🐙). The goal is to have it fully edited and ready for querying in 2026 🫨

Ahh I just spotted several books in the series at a local bookstore and thought they sounded delightful! Definitely going to pick up a copy now 🥰

Here are the links! Looking forward to working with some awesome young writers ✨

Oh my goodness I remember those, and I was only on them VERY briefly many years ago! Please take care in this heat, SSRIs increase heat intolerance. Drink, stay in the shade, and keep your curtains/blinds closed!

Thanks so much Holly! You're so kind 🥰💖
