only fifty-three more days until my second YA horror hits shelves! with the way trans kids are being treated, I hope this gutchurning story about an autistic trans boy surviving conversion therapy and abuse—and chewing out an eye with his teeth—means something to someone 💕

saying “hey I visited my parents and received a giant rusty railroad spike as a present” would feel bizarre if it wasn’t the COOLEST present to give to an author publishing a book where railroad spikes are a plot point

bc ppl have asked, my 2025 adult debut DOES in fact have a polyam protagonist. Sometimes a polycule can be a silent and suicidally violent trans man, the married t4t couple he’s a third to, the cishet ex-Marine serial killer that knocked him up, and a corpse full of worms

okay but writing an autistic character who doesn’t mask in order to make others comfortable is the most fun I’ve had with a POV in a WHILE. writing a love interest who thinks that’s SEXY?? even better. And then they’re both trans?????? I am a literary genius

THE SPIRIT BARES ITS TEETH comes out in 15 days!! ✨🌙✨ I wrote this book to help me better understand my autism and how it relates to my transness. It is a horrific love letter to the history of my communities, and the girlhood I left behind, and survival. I cant wait 💜

I need y’all to promise ASAP that, during the incredibly tense and upsetting scene in COMPOUND FRACTURE that has “party in the USA” playing in the background, you will put it on and listen to it as you read. this is my vision

look I knowww it’s unrealistic for all YA couples to stay together forever, but I met my gf when I was like 13 so I think it’s only fair that every single one of my characters is the exception

DELIGHTED to discover my publisher has decided to straight-up call my next book "transgressive" in the cover copy. i've made it and i'm only going to get worse (is it b/c of the c-section, the eyeball removal, or just the general ick this book is imbued with? hmm)

bless librarians for not batting a single eye at their patrons, because I really don’t have an excuse for emerging from the stacks with “what to expect when you’re expecting” and a book on parasites that wouldn’t make the situation immediately worse

I’ve written exactly a page and a half of my adult debut and let me just say, going from YA horror to adult horror is an absolutely unhinged experience What do you mean I can just say whatever I want??

my favorite personal rule as a horror writer is simple, especially as a horror writer specializing in YA: if the protagonist has to see it, so does the reader.

some of my autistic experiences that feature heavily in my 2024 thriller COMPOUND FRACTURE: - struggling w/ hygiene (bathing, brushing teeth) - using tricks to “fake” eye contact - same-foods, routine/repetitive diet - struggling to speak when overwhelmed
