A Curse Of Roses has a cover!

Isn’t she a stunner? I love the entire mood it sets, and that cliff/tower detail in the middle! The cover was originally revealed on LGBTQReads, where you can also read an exclusive excerpt from novel! A Curse of Roses is slated to release December 1st 2020! And I hope to have news about pre-order incentives

The Book Deal!!

I know I don’t update this page often (hence the name–never say I don’t live up to my promises!) but this is still the most, um… “website-like” presence I have, so I kind of have to show this: A MIRACLE OF ROSES will be published come Fall 2020 by Entangled: TEEN! This book’s journey was

Have some FROSTBLOOD Fanart!

Meet my version of Ruby, Frostblood’s fiery heroine! For those interested in specifics: this took me around 20 hours on Photoshop. I used my go-to stock account, faestock, for a pose reference because hands and I do not get along well. FROSTBLOOD will be out in January 2017 from Little, Brown (US) and Hodder &

A piece of Truthwitch fanart!

One of my favorite authors — the AMAZING Susan Dennard — has a new Fantasy book coming out in January called TRUTHWITCH. Before Truthwitch, she wrote the Something Strange and Deadly series, which I absolutely loved. Also, she has a website littered with advice for writers, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t read

My literary tattoos

As some might know, I have two tattoos based on my favorite book, George Orwell’s 1984. They both mean a great deal to me and so, here they are for the world to see! My next tattoos shall be the N7 symbol, an eight-note (behind my left year) and the question “What can change the

Book Review: BITTERBLUE by Kristin Cashore

In Bitterblue, everything is connected. Old characters return in an amazing fashion (particularly Fire).
