✨NOVELLA 6 RELEASE DAY ✨

This book is my love letter to every funky episode with dangerous dreams and false realities. Buffy's Asylum ep, the attic episode of Dollhouse, the fracturing reality in She-Ra... all that good stuff.

A fantasy series with time for character deep dives? I got you.

The Ruin Reveals is out THIS WEEKEND and is a love letter to so many different types of SFF and the wild episode concepts they can run with.

You want a trippy "dream" episode? I got you.
