🖤🌹COVER REVEAL🌹🖤
Fell to my knees gasping foaming at the mouth...my immense gratitude to Jana Heidersdorf (artist) + Zareen Johnson (designer) for the horror cover of my dreams !
The coven craves death. Death craves the coven. THE COVEN TENDENCY is out 2025 from Hyperion 🕯️
🤖 MY DEBUT IS OUT IN THE WORLD TODAY !!! I am so overjoyed to share this story of deity-mechas vs. girls falling in love with one another, impossible odds meeting impossible hope. Started writing GB at 17 when I needed exactly that kind of story and LOOK LITTLE ZOE WE DID IT 💕
Gearbreakers is v queer and I was scared of what my relatives might think but ;-; my entire Korean family came to my first signing and launch event and we haven't been all together in years - it means so so much. 2nd pic is mom and my little brother and isn't my umma so pretty !!
It's here! I am thrilled to share the gloriously unsettling cover art for OFF WITH THEIR HEADS - my fantasy horror Alice in Wonderland retelling, upcoming from Disney-Hyperion 4.23.24🐰🖤 So incredibly thankful to the artist Tran Nguyen and the designer Zareen Johnson <3
I told my auntie I was worried about my grandmother's reaction if she found out I liked girls and she was like 'it's okay we're Korean she just won't talk about it. Like how a bunch of her siblings disappeared 20+ years ago and we can't get it out of her what happened.' um ?????
In my senior year of high school I wrote a YA sci-fi about a found family crew of renegade kids hunting down 200ft deities in the desert and cyberpunk sapphics falling in love and now it’s officially ONE MONTH until GEARBREAKERS !!!

hello I woke up to an email this morning saying that Gearbreakers is going into its 2nd printing and it’s not even out yet ;-; thank you all for the support of my little sapphics + mechas book it means the W O R L D
crashing on tashie and chloe’s couch, going out to sign books, writing in coffee shops, getting tattoos with rocky + christina, adopting each other’s vernacular !! this week was so fun i love my friends :,))))
If you read a lot and still think it's an ok idea to hold queer authors or authors of color to a ridiculously higher standard . . . your bookshelf is boring
my debut is two y/o today🖤📷 I was 18 when I finished the first draft, and now five years later I've grown and changed so much as a writer but this story will always be very dear to me <3
can i just scream real quick about the clear wasian features on my new cover … i love her*
*what she does in this book literally keeps me up at night :))))
It's spooky month, so dropping a reminder that my YA fantasy horror comes out in April! Read: a bloody retelling of Alice in Wonderland, a queen obsessed with stitching monsters together (hi Hattie), lovers-to-enemies sapphic romance, + THIS cover 🐰🖤
okay but making up an ancient religion just to have it be corrupted before the characters even get onto the page so they have to deal with a Gods-infested world and terrifying piety . . . serotonin
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS, my YA fantasy horror retelling of Alice in Wonderland, is out in the world today! Gothic w/ sapphic lovers-to-enemies + set in a Korean-inspired world, wrought w/ horrible magic and horrible girls, I'm SO excited to finally share this dear dark fairytale <3

Real Talk: my Korean half was overlooked a lot when I was growing up in a mostly white community, even by myself - realized @ 18 I'm not just diluted Asian but actually Asian ? Warms my heart to be recognized as an AAPI author with GODSLAYERS on this list
🐰🖤 Cover reveal for OFF WITH THEIR HEADS June 8th !!!
I am so so thrilled to show this off - as a teaser, I am lucky enough to have Tran Nguyen as my artist for my fantasy horror Alice in Wonderland retelling (did these gorgeous covers below that u might recognize ;))
I was 17/18 when I wrote Gearbreakers - now I'm 23. It's my hope that people will pick up Off With Their Heads next month (even if they didn't vibe with my first pub) bc it's the first book I've written as (I'll say it) an adult! New me! New writing style! New growth in my art!
new fits - BEHOLD THE GODSLAYERS BOOK JACKETTTTT
Cannot believe that come June 28th Eris and Sona are going to be side-by-side on the bookshelves now that both of them have a spine to themselves 😭💗🤖

don't get me wrong i love love love Gearbreakers it's a story dear to my heart and the book that got my footing in publishing ... but I was also 17/18 when i wrote it ?! now im 22 w/ most of college behind me - my writing is completely different and I Can't Wait to show everyone
smearing my eyeliner and putting on my rings and chugging my coffee right before i walk out the door to class and then going into a fugue state and writing three thousand words of a possession horror without hearing a single word of lecture it’s HALLOWEEN SEASON BABY
Up on Goodreads for a little while but . . . ⚙️⚔️GODSLAYERS⚔️⚙️ is out June 28th, 2022 from Feiwel & Friends! Yes I'm obsessed with the title - and you know Sona and Eris are going to live (?haha) up to it🤖
GR:
*SPOILERS FOR GEARBREAKERS IN THE SYNOPSIS*
I JUST REMEMBERED some dude at the bar last night opened up his phone and bought Gearbreakers because he wanted my number lmaooooo . .. im so sorry it did not work
Forgot the obligatory 'my book is coming out next month!' psa so - my book is coming out next month !!! Read: sapphic lovers-to-enemies, a horrifying tea party, and monsters in Wonderland . . . are nowhere near as monstrous as the girls who hunt them
GR:
“If this world has taught me anything, it’s that humans have no right playing pretend at being Gods.
But I am a Gearbreaker, and that comes pretty damn close.”
