Think I'm gonna work on this today. My therapist loves the concept for this book and we spent part of my last session trying to fill plot holes together. 😂
Hopefully someday y'all get to meet Ruby, my dead girl monster hunter out for revenge against the people who murdered her. ⚔️

For #transrightsreadathon I have to share two YA books from my favorite ace lesbian & nonbinary author, @skyequinlan.bsky.social ! DBAD celebrates queer & drag culture, and FM embraces your inner band geek. Each contains a cast of diverse queer & trans characters and should be a must-read!!!

My therapist is trying really hard to get me writing again, and we had a really good session today where we talked about all of my ideas and what my fears are in writing them. I think I'm getting close to not having a panic attack every time I open a word document, and I couldn't be more excited. 😮💨

It's a rule in our house that I have to wear grippy socks. It's been this way since I slipped down the stairs in June.
The ONE NIGHT I don't wear them, I slip and fall on my wrist and currently can't feel two of my fingers.
It was worth it to save my Snubbull Funko from our dog, but ouch. 🙃

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

I'm so excited to announce that my next YA duology, a romantasy called WICKED ENDEAVORS, is coming in Summer 2026!
If So Let Them Burn was about the power of love, then Wicked Endeavors is about the poisonous yet motivating power of hate. Black female rage abounds in this one 😈

It’s really pretty cool that one thing you can do to support people you like is ask your local library to get their book because it doesn’t cost you anything, it helps them, and the librarian gets to know someone actually wants to read a book and not just use the computer for Roblox

I never get over how small these numbers are. Look how easy it is to help out your favorite authors! (And your local bookstores!)
When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was:
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display
More detail: When booksellers get pre-orders, it's a quantitative and qualitative signal that there is like *something here* about a book. The avalanche of new books out there is hard to communicate if you're not in the industry, and pre-orders are one of vanishingly few signals. It is a real thing!
