My publisher just told me my apocalypse book is 99¢ on Kobo rn, which feels free. If you want a queer survival story with messy feelings, feral hope, and a bi disaster trying not to die in the woods, this one’s for you.

Today I turned 45, which launched my 45 Things list. Over the next year, I'll pull a thing each week and do it until the jar is empty. This is meant to curate more joy and adventure in my life. First up: paint naked... Yikes.

My queer books are about one neurodivergent bi disaster's harrowing journey in the alien apocalypse, and she must decide: will she save humanity and the woman she loves… or let it burn for the chance to finally choose herself?

Happy #BiVisibility Day! 💖💜💙

I didn't have books like this growing up, so I wrote a few.

The Broken Stars trilogy is about a bisexual, neurodivergent disaster’s journey to save the woman she loves, and things go horribly wrong.

Grab an iced coffee & check 'em out!

She's my queer love story at the end of the world that’s equal parts sapphic, spooky, and emotionally devastating. 🌈🚀💫

When the world is on fire, I garden. It never fails to make me feel grounded and grateful for the little things. A sampling of today's harvest...

Audrey Tully wins a golden ticket on the first all-inclusive trip to an alien world. When nothing goes affording to plan, she must navigate perilous terrain, rely on the kindness of strangers, and learn to trust herself to get her new found family's butts back to Earth.

WINTER'S ORBIT x LIGHT FROM UNCOMMON STARS

Solo-traveler Audrey Tully signs up for the first vacay to an alien planet expecting Mai Tais and R&R. Instead, she finds chaos: quirky aliens, perilous terrain, and a found family that will break her heart and put it back together.

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE x SPACE BTWN WORLDS

She boarded our first shuttle to an alien planet seeking privacy, peace, zero drama. Instead She crash-landed into a surreal world, messy feels, and the most chaotic love-you-whether-u-like-it-or-not found family in the galaxy.

SPACE BETWEEN WORLDS x LIGHT FRM UNCOMMON STARS

What if your found family was lightyears away and one questionable choice from total disaster? Solo-traveler Audrey Tully came for the R&R, but got a crash course in friendship, self-love, and the messy magic of belonging.
