Their chemistry is magic. Their timing is cursed. And their meddling best friends are about to watch it all go down. #amquerying a second chance romance inspired by Happy Place by Emily Henry #writingcommunity #romancebooks
Last line I wrote in my WIP (the sequel to my dark vampire fantasy):

“I can’t afford this tender ache. Not now. Not when the world is hanging in the balance.”

A little taste of what’s lurking inside my next book—a dark vampire fantasy about vengeance, found family, and the women who refuse to be prey.

For fans of:

🖤 Forbidden love
🩸 Vampire vigilantes
🔥 Female rage
✨ Hidden powers
👥 Found family

My friends are slowly convincing me to self-publish another book this year. Swore I wasn’t gonna do it, that I would stick to querying for the time being, and now I’m tryna figure out if I can fit it in the budget. Maybe another Kickstarter would help?? 🤔

I don’t write to escape. I write to understand—why life hurts, why it matters, and what love could look like if it’s safe.

I write love stories because I don’t know how to write endings that don’t leave space for hope.

Has anyone been able to stop listening to the Kpop Demon Hunters soundtrack? Because I have not. I’m powering the Honmoon for everyone at this point.

Me marketing my book: “It’s a cozy second-chance romance!”
Me writing my book: cue devastating monologue about what it means to be known and still left

Every query rejection I’ve gotten lately has mentioned that they love my writing, but it doesn’t fit their list. So if any literary agents are searching for a second chance romance with meddling best friends, a slow, slow burn, inspired by Happy Place by Emily Henry, hit me up. I got a banger.

Lemme just drop the last line I wrote from my WIP so you can decide if you’d read it (and try to guess what new genre I’m tackling:

“I’ve seen men bleed before. I’ve made men bleed before. But this—this shakes me.”

Idk what’s worse, a form rejection or one that says “I really enjoyed your opening pages but didn’t quite fall in love with the concept.” 😭😭 #amquerying
May 20, 2025 at 7:55 PM
Not feeling inspired at all to write lately, and I’m leaning into this period of rest by recharging in other areas of my life. It’s okay to not constantly be producing!! My best work has come from stepping away from the computer for a while, I can’t force a masterpiece to appear 🤷🏻‍♀️ #writingcommunity

Not me getting a query rejection while I was recording a TikTok video about still waiting to hear back about queries. The universe has a sense of humor fr fr

Life is funny, one minute I’m checking query tracker, the next I see a post in the comments that leads me to sign up for a live feedback panel of literary agents to potentially have my query critiqued in front of other authors. I’m scared but oh well! Growth only happens outside of the comfort zone.

You know how I said you guys might not cry reading my new book? Yeah well, for whatever reason I decided to read it cover to cover today and I want you to know, I lied. I cried 😂 Promise it is still a rom-com! (I think)
May 2, 2025 at 9:01 PM
I actually recorded and uploaded a YouTube video today!!! First time in like a month but we made it

YOU GUYS! I finally got my first full request this morning! Did I cry tears of joy? Yes. Yes I did! #amquerying
April 28, 2025 at 7:39 PM
I can’t believe I’m already at another book convention as a signing author!!! Dreams really do come true 😭🩵

Got two more query rejections today. So if anyone needs me I’ll be listening to Taylor Swift on repeat and channeling these complicated feelings into my next book. Meanwhile here’s more content from the book I’m sending to agents!!!!
April 24, 2025 at 5:46 PM
After having the chance to attend Emily Henry’s release night virtual chat with Kennedy Ryan, I feel renewed as a romance author. Idk man, something about seeing two of the greatest to ever do it, loving on each other & speaking about how wonderful romance is, just did something to me!!!
April 23, 2025 at 9:11 PM
When literary agents ask more than just the standard questions in their query tracker forms I gently crack my knuckles before excitedly yapping about myself in 100 words or less. (As a Leo, this is where I shine!!!)

He’s a 10 but he convinces you to go snowboarding & you’ve never been so you wipe out hard and hurt yourself & he freaks out and takes you back to his cabin to take care of you leading to a steamy ALMOST make out in the bathroom that leaves you reeling #amquerying
April 22, 2025 at 12:27 AM
I swear my readers can sense when I need a pick me up & then they come through with the nicest compliments about my writing that keep me going 😭😭 I seriously would have given up forever ago if it weren’t for them.

HAPPY PLACE meets LOVE, ROSIE ✨ Kennedy’s spent years building a life without Beck. Safe. Controlled. Predictable. Now he’s back, and so are the feelings she buried. She can’t afford to fall apart again. He’s risking everything to finally make things right. #PosterPit #secondchanceromance
April 19, 2025 at 8:31 PM
But as promised another rejection means more content!! #amquerying a second chance romance with a perfectionist influencer-turned-cafe owner and her enigmatic ex who’s back in NYC for a week thanks to their meddling best friends. Full of intense tension, sharp banter, and ALL the feels 🩵
