Author of books with plus size rep. THE MAKE-UP TEST and ON THE PLUS SIDE (out now!), HOW TO GET A LIFE IN TEN DATES (12/10/24), and LOVE AT FULL TILT (7/22/2025-my first YA!!)

Amateur dog enthusiast. Professional book hoarder.
I needed a good thing today so I took a book stack photo. Four books with my name on it. And I'm working on number five. There were so many days over the last 10 years when I didn't think this would ever happen. Seeing them all together is a good reminder that it was worth pushing on. 💜

My ARCs for LOVE AT FULL TILT arrived today!

I queried for 10 years trying to break into YA before writing THE MAKE-UP TEST. I love being an adult romance writer, but YA holds a special place in my heart. I hope Lia and Mason and their story mean as much to readers as they do to me.

Oh hey THIS BOOK (MY FIRST YA ROMANCE) COMES OUT THIS YEAR.

Ignore my terrible selfie and instead marvel at this giant version of the How to Get a Life in Ten Dates cover that is still up at An Unlikely Story!

Also while I am posting things when I should be doing dishes or sleeping or something, this book just came out a week ago and people say it reminds them of the best 90s and 2000s romcoms. 😍💚

Oh hey, just a reminder that I write books with plus-size main characters that challenge fatphobia and celebrate people of all sizes.

Saw this. Died for a minute from joy and excitement. Then realized it was not the real @mikeflanaganfilm.com and returned to reality. 😂

Toast has very important information for you. Toast wants to remind you that there are twenty-one days left to preorder HOW TO GET A LIFE IN TEN DATES!

If you preorder through my local indie, An Unlikely Story, you can get a signed, personalized copy and custom stickers.

Dear @oliviawrites.bsky.social. If you need any early readers for your zombie book, please know I am here and ready and willing to share lots of puppy photos of Toast with you and your editors if needed. Here is Toast for context. He would do great in a zombie attack. He's very fast.

Got a box of some books in the mail today. 😍

It is completely surreal to me that I'm going to have 4 books in stores by next summer. All w/ beautiful plus-size women on them. 😭

It's been a tough few months for me in a lot of different ways, but I wanted to make this post to remind myself that this is an accomplishment and worth celebrating.

When you get to take a photo with someone who was a huge inspiration for your book while they hold your book 😭😭😭🧡💜🧡

In a little over three months, I'm going to have TWO books on shelves! 😭

Someone nominate me for the Pulitzer.

I feel like this is a very accurate description of Logan Samuel from ON THE PLUS SIDE, and maybe a good reason to preorder it??
