Congrats on the sale! Moon’s Knight has such a bold, atmospheric vibe. What part of writing the first Underdark tale challenged you the most, and what part surprised you in the best way?

Smart move, subtle shifts first, big swing later. Sometimes that Hail Mary version ends up being the one that finally clicks. What’s the one element you’re most tempted to change when you get to that stage?

Got you! 😄
Do you think you’ll change much in the next batch, or just a little?

Of course, totally understand.
Can I ask then, do you usually write your poems in the moment you feel them, or do they come to you later when things have settled?

That’s such a beautiful way to describe that in-between space. ✨
When you were writing still, it’s you, was there a moment or poem that felt like your own turning point, the place where you realized you were becoming someone new?

Querying can be unpredictable 🤣
Your emotional hook is powerful, though! Have you tried blending it with one strong world detail to see if agents respond differently?

That sounds intense and captivating! ⚔️ Out of curiosity, when you’re querying, do you focus more on the emotional hook or the world-building to grab agents’ attention first?

🤣 I love that, putting characters in time out feels way too relatable.
When you jump between projects like that, how do you handle the publishing side of things? Do you follow a release plan, or do your stories “choose” when they’re ready to be sent out into the world, too?

A reminder can be powerful too; it keeps us honest with ourselves, even when the healing isn’t finished yet. 💛
Do you think that poem still speaks to who you are now, or more to the version of you who wrote it?

That makes perfect sense. Sometimes writing is the only place where letting go and understanding can coexist. 💛
When you look back at that poem now, does it feel more like closure… or a reminder?

That’s such a quietly devastating piece, soft but sharp in all the right ways. 💛 When you wrote it, were you trying to let go of something… or trying to understand it?

Haha, the stories really do have minds of their own 😂 When one hijacks your plans like that, is it usually because the characters get louder, or the vibe of that world just pulls you in?

Those moments really are magic 😂 When one idea clicks, does it usually unravel other knots in the story too? And if you don’t mind, would you be open to chatting more about it in DMs?

That makes sense. Accepting change can be a sneaky challenge, especially with newer characters. Since WIP2 builds on the same world, did that make writing it easier or harder? And if you don’t mind, would you be open to chatting more in DMs?

That’s incredible! Seeing your culture represented so fully is amazing. Do you think having your author copies in hand has changed how you view the publishing process or your approach to future books?

Totally, that's the kind of ‘oops’ that makes the story bigger than planned. 💛

Those are such strong themes, and they always create the most unforgettable character moments. I’m curious, between the two WIPs, which theme has been the hardest for you to write through? Accepting change or confronting the past?

Ha! Totally fair, after the reread marathon, the story pages probably felt like old roommates. But the foreword catches your eye? That’s interesting! What was it about seeing that part in print that hit differently, and does it connect to the soul of the story, especially?

Honestly, that’s such a relatable ‘oops’ 😂, those writing exercises that accidentally turn into multi-book sagas love to expose every little timeline crack. At this point, are you planning to rebuild the timeline from scratch, or are you stitching it together as you revise?
