Announcing the cover for THE HALLS OF THE DEAD, releasing Summer 2026 with @harpervoyagerus.bsky.social!

HALLS is a romance, a dark fantasy, a Christmas horror story, a righteous fury revenge quest. It's dark and bloody, full of rage and love. I can't wait to share it with you.

It’s romance. It’s dark fantasy. It’s a Christmas horror story. It’s a righteous fury revenge quest. It’s about love lasting longer than death. It’s got cannibalism, blood magic, a guy full of bugs, a protag w chronic pain, and an OT3.

Let’s celebrate with a teaser made by @izzysinger.bsky.social

hi there #BookSky💙📚 ! if you like Into the Woods, Slay the Princess, or the Stanley Parable, you might like my novella How to Survive This Fairytale, coming January 16!

I'm now represented by Laura Zats of Headwater Literary Management! 💀

From the beginning, Laura truly understood the dark, rotted heart of my debut novel ft. necromancy, revenge, and a devotion that's centuries-old. I can't wait to continue writing messy, gothic magic with her as my agent!

in honor of valentine's day this week, here's a book teaser for a novella my publisher is calling "dark, sexy, and devastating." i promise it has a happy ending -- but there's gonna be a lot of bloodshed before we get there. if you like fairytale retellings, you might just like it 💙📚
