The last (but certainly not least!) intro of my book characters for now: Benji! He is:

🎨 28
🎨 a full-time artist
🎨 according to my main character: “alarmingly kind”
🎨 involved in a chapter that was previously titled "I Ruin an Unironic Shrek Proposal" 😭

Introducing the next character from COMPLEX ART: Calum! He is:

📚 28
📚 Maisie’s older bro by 10 yrs
📚 work-life-balance? what is that?
📚 likely will not engage in conversation with you unless it's about the world financial markets or Shrek

art is again by the fantastic @pameladraws.bsky.social !

The full illustration of Maisie and Eli by @pameladraws.bsky.social !

I love it so much!! Eli’s panicked expression! Maisie’s chaotic expression! Tower Bridge!

Anyway, if you like novels about awkward artist nerds who don’t know how to flirt, you might like THE COMPLEX ART OF BEING MAISIE CLARK! 😂

Introducing the second character from THE COMPLEX ART OF BEING MAISIE CLARK: Eli! He is:

📸 18
📸 having an existential crisis over his decision to study photography at university
📸 randomly good at chess

More wonderful character art by @pameladraws.bsky.social !

🎨 Character Reveal: Maisie Clark 🎨

Since early reviewers are starting to read COMPLEX ART, I figured I should start introducing the characters in the novel!

Maisie character art by @pameladraws.bsky.social (and more to come!! (wait until I reveal this entire illustration it’s so pretty 😭))

A zoomed in look at some of the cool details on my book cover:

1. Maisie’s TRY NEW THINGS LIST
2. Maisie’s messy eye makeup
3. A broken camera
4. Seven missed calls from Maisie’s best friend
5. A ripped painting
6. An old family photo of Maisie, Calum, and their parents
7. Eli
8. My name! 😂

Now that my ARC has dropped, I figure I should start introducing my book characters!

This is Maisie, Eli, Calum, and Benji as random internet posts:

The COMPLEX ART OF BEING MAISIE CLARK eARC is now up for request on Netgalley and Edelweiss!!

Happy Third Birthday to THE ART OF RUNNING AWAY!!!

I never planned to write a second book with these characters, so it's very strange (but exciting!) that I've just finished copyedits for THE COMPLEX ART OF BEING MAISIE CLARK!!

My book has a cover!!! I love it so much and I'm so excited to finally share it!!
