✨RFK can fig ht me✨

My books will always be about neurodiversity and chronic illness and angry femmes fighting back against the patriarchy, about intersectional feminism and the beauty of our world's natural variation.

A reminder that I have a NINTH HOUSE meets JENNIFER’S BODY proposal out there in the world and I might be getting closer to being able to share it!!

If you like whip smart, fast-paced dark academia adult crossover with something ✨worse✨ than succubae, let me know 😌

When I started writing 5 years ago, I could never have imagined this.

I’m so grateful to you, for making this autistic, queer book such a success. For propelling Cassie. For your support.
