2 more chapters down on Promised Land in a day almost solely focussed on edits, napping, and reading. That’s the kind of weekend I’m talking about! I need more of those please 🙏

It feels great to finally sit down and get back to the third round of edits of Book 3 of the Amaranth series after a long hiatus. This instalment has been taking longer than usual but I will make an announcement in the coming weeks/months that is worth the wait. Are you ready to board the Ark?

Had an absolute blast at Ottawa Can*Con this year! 🔥 Huge thanks to the organizers for choosing the beautiful Brookstreet Hotel as the new venue and to everyone who stopped by our booth to chat, discover new stories, and help us keep lighting the flame of speculative fiction. ✨ #CanCon2025 #Hopepunk

Getting back onto the edits of Promised Land, book 3 of the Amaranth series, before Can*Con officially kicks off. It feels good to be back into this universe after a *very* long hiatus. Hopefully I can finish this third draft soon so I can send it to my editor. ✏️

Guess what I did first thing when I got to Ottawa? I rushed to the first Indigo I could find and got myself the latest book by Marie Lu, the author who really got me into YA. I couldn’t bear the thought of having nothing to read since I’m finishing up The Last Phi Hunter by Salinee Goldberg.

Heading to Ottawa this weekend for Can*Con, one of my favorite gatherings of speculative fiction minds. ✨

Couldn’t be prouder of what the Flame Arrow team has built this year — and excited to celebrate with readers, writers, and friends in the community.

One of the best shows I’ve watched on Netflix this year. And to think it’s based on a 100% true story is mindblowing. Have you watched it? If so, what did you guys think?

So excited to have received my copy of A Curse Carved in Bone by Danielle L Jensen. I will finally find out how this norse-inspired romantasy concludes! Has anyone read the Fate Inked in Blood duology?

Now that I’m done with Onyx Storm, what am I to do with my life? This book hangover is real! I can’t believe we still don’t have a release date for Book 4 😢

Nearly 2 years after having the idea of a bonus epilogue for my book North Star, I have officially started writing down this scene that’s been haunting me ever since. It felt GOOD! Now this breather will help me push through Promised Land so it can finally see the light of day 🌟 #Booksky #Amaranth
