Actually crazy that I just got engaged on the rooftop of the Vienna Opera while we were there to watch an opera written by Mozart in the 18th century. Like it actually could not have been more perfect 🥲🥲🥲

There is something so unmatched about going to your local Barnes & Noble and finding one of your dearest friends' books 😍😍😍 also had to buy it because you can never have too many copies 🤌🏻

Nothing hurts more than spending hours writing a 3k long chapter only to realize the next day that it's completely irrelevant, and the entire thing can be deleted.

Filing this under things that sound absolutely unhinged when you take it out of the writing context.

My most peaceful moment of 2024.

Walked into this breathtaking monestary in Lisbon to shelter from the torrential rain, and there was no one there but my partner and I.

You could feel the hundreds of years of history in this place ❤️

(The sound of the rain in this video is so peaceful too)

Find yourself a man who will pause his game in the middle of a boss battle to look at your weirdly shaped carrot and get just as hyped about it as you are

Anyway, hi everyone!

I'm Leta, and I write historical and historical fantasy-esque books about girls in gowns with daggers, kissing in rose-filled gardens, betrayal, murder, and lots of gold and moonlight.

I'm currently writing an adult fantasy set in a Baroque world where art is magic ✨️
