You’ve seen Bones. You’ve seen Bells. Now get ready for Boats! After two years of threatening to do so, I have finally returned to Titanic WIP and we are setting sail into shenanigans and DECADENCE.

Behold! A fresh new aesthetic for a fresh round of revisions! THE GIFTED BONES is getting the #AuthorMentorMatch treatment, so please tag along on this thread and watch my enthusiasm dwindle into me just screaming.

Imagine having the time and energy to maintain 8+ fake identities professionally, including having them interact, when all you had to do was sit in a quiet corner and WRITE 😭

A year ago today I signed with my literal dream agents @petejknapp and @StutiTelidevara after leaving a shitty situation and it remains one of the best decisions I ever made 🥰

🦴 Not a clang clang, but a clack clack! 🦴 THE HANGING BONES is now up on Goodreads and I'll love you all to death if you add it to your shelves! It's got a magical stag hunt, a questionable monster, plenty of bones, and an aro/ace main character!

Also, just because I can, an old aesthetic for OF RUSTED THROATS (2025) because the ol' clang clang is the only thing that will take me away from 🏛 WIP 😈 #pitlight

It. Is. DONE! Only 15 months of work, 39000 stitches, 1 major screwup fixed, zero lost needles, and it is beautiful 😭

I honestly don't know if it was intentional or a happy accident, but just when I thought I couldn't love my cover more, I realized that Mina wearing black, white and purple basically makes her the ace flag so ... 🖤🤍💜Happy Pride from a demi author and her demi heroine! 💜🤍🖤

Why does starting the first few chapters of a new WIP always feel like pulling teeth? 😭

It is the most chaotic, proseless, underwritten, disastrous fiery train wreck of a *thing* I have ever written, but the first draft of BELLS. is. DONE!

Happy one year to me weeping in my car for twenty minutes because the only email I got in a no reception area was @taratgonzalez offering me rep.
