Finally reading my Fairyloot edition of The Adventures of Amina Al-Sarafi, a fantasy swashbuckling tale. Have you read it?

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?

I’ve been creating digital extras for my Amaranth series and it’s been a lot of fun sharing my creative journey and adding some personal commentary on the story and the characters.
Here’s my question for you #Booksky is there anything I should absolutely include in those extras that readers love?

This is what I love about living in Vancouver! Cherry blossoms to greet spring with a comfortable 17 degrees and lots of sunshine. I couldn’t be happier living in Canada with this kind of weather 🥰

It was inevitable… I had to dive into this one next! So much action in the first 100 pages 😱 I feel like those 500+ pages will be a breeze 💨 Have you read it yet?

This must be one of my favorite covers this year 🤩 I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this sequel and I’m looking forward to reading the next instalment! Have you read The Hurricane Wars?

Misting this big boy so he can grow bigger. Am I weird for loving money trees? I had my first one back in China and I can’t live without having a couple at home. You can’t see it but I have a second one right beside my bookshelves. #moneytree #booksky #plantlover #natureathome
