Well, the rabbit's out of the PM bag! I have a lot of thoughts on what it means at last to be fulfilling the dream I've nurtured since I was 7 years old, but for right now I'm afraid all I have for you is the mental image of me flapping in a circle while I shout, I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!

PM official! I’m so excited SPELLWRIGHT, my debut YA, will be publishing with Atheneum/S&S in Fall 2026. It has:

💫 A cozy spellshop
🖤 Unbreakable curses
💫 A Howl-adjacent, sleepy-eyed magician
🖤 A dust-fingered spellwright
💫 A barefoot ball
🖤 A gargoyle-guarded library
💫 A spoiled marmalade cat

Just…I love writing. It’s like having a dream I actually remember in the morning.

My gram is the reason I love hummingbirds, fairy tales, and writing about magic. She’s also the reason I’m still on Facebook! 🤣 When I posted about SPELLWRIGHT, she was right there replying, saying she can’t wait for publication and my heart twinged. She’s 98, and that feels like magic too. ✨

I simply cannot wait for SPELLWRIGHT!! I tumbled headfirst into @heatherkassner.bsky.social ‘s delicious, sparkling, luminous world and fell utterly in love. This one’s good for what ails ya! A cozy warm heart hug, with the perfect dash of magic and smooches—what more could a gal ask for? ✨
