Hey y’all!
I was asked to write an essay on developing setting for writer’s digest, if anyone wanted to read (my thesis being that it’s all about mood, shocking I know)—

My friend, Jo Schulte, and I are planning a mini book tour and while I've been spoiled by the support locally I am now completely terrified not a single soul will show up. So that said, if you're in any of these places plz come hang out! We're doing some fun stuff with other writer friends.

I know y’all already know about the Barnes & Noble preorder sale that’s happening right now, so if you ever wanted a dark contemporary fantasy version of YA KNIVES OUT thats gives at once both SCHITT’S CREEK and PAN’S LABYRINTH vibes… might I suggest The Whisperwood Legacy?
