Nothing more stressful than being a December baby and rushing to get your birthday plans out to friends before everyone else sends out their holiday party invites

I’m incredibly thankful that my gastro doctor has always taken me seriously and was able to find the source of my weird symptoms…but at the same time, the treatment for my stomach issue is rough as hell and I’m having ALL the side effects.

I’ll be part of the NYPL’s Pathways to Publishing expo for aspiring authors this Saturday at the Bronx Library Center. I’ll be part of a couple of events including agent speed-dating. I’m still closed to queries apart from referrals or pitch events like this. See y’all there!

#NYCC has outdone themselves with the Press & Pro pavilion and lounge. Absolutely love this area! Plus the gorgeous view of the sun setting on the Hudson is unbeatable.

Got to visit The Twisted Spine, the new horror bookstore in Williamsburg last Sunday for its opening weekend celebrations and it was everything I could’ve asked for. It’s a whole trek for me to get to it but I’ll definitely be going back.

Industry pros: unfortunately ReedPop has confirmed that not only are they not doing press tickets for #BookCon2026 but they also will not be doing any industry or pro tickets at this moment. In case y’all were hoping, like me, that they would do so like they do for NYCC.

Wes and I commissioned our two friends to make us pieces to fill in the gap on one of our walls. And did they deliver! Brooke Randle used real bat specimens from the Natural History Museum as references and Katherine Hong illustrated a scene from NOSFERATU (2024) 🖤🥰

Today is my 8 year publishing anniversary. While it hasn’t been the easiest of journeys, I definitely feel like 2017 me on her first day as Editorial Assistant at Scholastic would surprised but ultimately proud of where I’ve landed in my career. Here’s to 8 years and to many, many more 🖤🍸

I won a lottery ticket this past Thursday to see Real Women Have Curves and I cried during every other scene. The music is so lovely. The whole cast is just so tremendous. And I loved how they tweaked characters from the movie. I’m absolutely needing to see it again.
