I am SO excited, thrilled, over the moon (all the adjectives!!!) To announce that my debut novel WHEN THE FOREST WHISPERS will be published by Orbit UK & US in early 2027.

if gen ai has a million haters i am one of them. if gen ai has a thousand haters i am still one of them. if gen ai has one hater it is me. if gen ai has zero haters it means i have left this world. if the world is against gen ai then i am with the world.

What if I didn't so much read it as I did absorb it quietly into the fabric of my being like weird word osmosis?

I was doing so well, writing every day, hitting my word count goals, and then I ran face first into the burn out wall and I've done nothing in my "free" hours but snack, nap and watch Critical Role for three weeks.

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.

Cover of THE BOOK THIEF by Markus Zusak. The title is in white font stylized to look like painted lettering done by and uneven hand. It I'd over a sepia-toned photograph of a human hand knocking over the first in a long, wavering line of Dominos.

I always feel weird giving unsolicited writing advice- I'm a good writer & I have an agent but that doesn't make me innately more qualified to give lessons or tips on craft. But that said, if you ever have a question or want eyes on your query package or 1st draft, my DMs are always open.

Absolutely one of my faves!
