With their attempts at coming out repeatedly thwarted and the attempts on their life getting more and more serious, Andy realizes they’re being stalked by their pre-transition doppelganger—and she won’t stop until she’s taken the life they thought they’d left behind

The pregnant sex ed teacher is the first to fall. Then anyone who’s touched or been touched is up in flames and speaking with one voice. In the shadow of the spread, two girls must learn all they were never taught and see if you really can fight fire with fire

Re-pitching my queer + trans Appalachian horror for pride ✨
"Southern inheritances are always dark—whether it's a penchant for pills, a blood-soaked family farm, or an ancient magic. Sierra spurns them all, but when her dad disappears, she must choose which monsters to slay, and which to become."

I see these are making the rounds again! Here's my evergreen pitch for White Trash Witchcraft...
"Southern inheritances are always dark—But when Sierra’s dad succumbs to something even stronger than his usual opioids, she must decide which monsters to slay and which to become"

This is your sign to talk about your book!
Almost exactly a year ago, I made my first ever post about what is now White Trash Witchcraft (which has a much better pitch and moodboard now!) and I can't even begin to explain all of the amazing things that have come from that ✨

So incredibly excited to announce that I have signed with Alexander Slater @greenburgerlit.bsky.social
I knew White Trash Witchcraft was something special, but I never in my wildest dreams anticipated ten offers and the absolute rollercoaster that has been this past month. 🧵

Sierra loves her family and fears becoming them. Their healing hurts and their pills make you sick. But as infectious iron creeps through veins like kudzu, she is forced to take on her dark inheritance.
If she must deal with monsters, she might as well become one.
