My author copies arrived today! It’s always surreal to add more books to my little writing corner. I think I’ve run out of words to convey how grateful and proud I am to get to do the thing I spent my teens dreaming of, and how thankful I am for all the reader love since KINDLING. 🧡🍂

This and Partners in Crime (murder mystery) would make good spoop times, though 👀

It’s been a while since I’ve made headway with zombie WIP, but suddenly I am SO close to the end! I wrote some delicious sapphic angst today & hit 83k 🧟‍♀️
Her knees buckled then, and she knew she wouldn’t ever get off this floor. It felt too final, her body closing its shutters as the cold concrete hit her. Rain dribbled on her face as she dropped onto her back, or maybe it was blood and tears. Air whooshed from her lungs, the vast, blackening sky greeting her. She wanted to go to it, let it wrap around her, but then Louisa eclipsed the clouds, a reminder of what she’d be leaving behind.

SPOOKY SALE: a quote from A HAUNTING AT HARTWELL HALL by Rachel Bowdler Blair might have been surrounded by death, but she carried so much life in her that Felicity couldn’t run from her now.

WHEN LOVE BARGES IN by Bryony Rosehurst: And she couldn’t remember ever noticing the exact color of the autumn sun before, or the smoky smell that lingered on the cusp of the seasons. She couldn’t remember anybody ever looking at her and waiting for her to speak. She couldn’t remember ever feeling like she truly existed before now. So Piper said the things she’d always been too ashamed to say before. Because she could see her breath in front of her when she exhaled. Because she was here and she could
