#2026Debuts author intro post. This is me. Let’s be friends!
Here’s a little book aesthetic for Last to Leave, featuring a little mystery with a splash of 20s flair! Oh, and a reminder that the only thing more important than whodunit in this murder mystery, is who has the most fans. 👍🏻❤️👍🏾
This YA contemporary mystery is coming out summer of 2026!

Starting tomorrow I’ll be doing this month-long Meet The #2026Debuts series over on IG with some of my fellow authors debuting next year. For me, 2026 is my trad debut year, since my current books are published by a digital-focused press. I’ll share some of the posts here, too, just for fun.

I realized that I do, in fact, have a perfectly good reason for being a night owl. Nighttime me doesn’t trust morning me, simple as that. And with good reason—morning me is the worst! Can’t get her to do ANYTHING #authorlife #writerproblems

Update: I’m leaning into the chaos and going with the two-new-manuscripts-at-a-time thing. So far, so good! #kidlit #amwriting #yaauthor #writerlife

On a scale of One to This-Is-A-Truly-Terrible-Idea, where does starting two new manuscripts at the same time fall? Bc I’m a chapter into each and I really truly can’t stop either one. Halp! #kidlit #amwriting #writerlife #writingcommunity

“Change is scary. But you know what’s scarier? To be the same person in twenty years that you are today.”
Heard this on Sweet Magnolias and I have been thinking about it ALL day. As one who is generally anti-change, this is giving me Feels.
