You will see Make Me a Monster being described as ‘Frankenstein inspired’ and that’s true. It is. But it’s not a retelling. It’s more of a contemporary gothic continuation of that tale exploring grief, consent, power, and very messy family dynamics. Just wanted to put that out there!

I have a middle grade trilogy, THE VANQUISHERS, available now! With this news of Buffy getting a sequel series it feels like a good time to tell you I couldn’t have put this story together without having been a Buffy stan for all these years.
