Me as a child:
- cried when the vacuum ran
- covered my ears when flushing the toilet
- couldn’t walk down the laundry aisle due to overwhelming scent
- struggled to make connections with other children
- read at an eighth grade level

Every single adult in my life:
She is so incredibly neurotypical

I’m trying to befriend the crows around my house.

#WIPsnips “cheap” snippet

This is terrifying, and we cannot let it happen

Eliminating queer content - or content about any group of people - is a clear step toward eliminating them from public life, and then from life altogether, which is the end goal of the far right

Unfortunately the fall semester starts soon so my writing is going to slow down a lot 😞 but making it a point to remember that writing is my happy place and I deserve to have some time to myself to do what I love!

#WIPsnips “real” snippet of one of the first interactions between the poltergeist and the family cat. This is before she finds out that the humans she’s supposed to haunt have ADHD and will not, in fact, be noticing when things are out of place.

Two snippets from my paranormal romance, Born Anew in Blood. In the first, one MMC puts an arm around the FMC’s waist to distract her — and it works. In the second, she’s wrapping her legs around the other MMC’s waist 😁

#WIPsnips we’re going with “fight” for today’s vibes

My characters are all misfits who have at most one close person — until they find each other, that is.

I am so stoked for this 🔥

A hot pink graphic stylized with a subtle damask pattern. A squawking raven sits on the bottom right, while another perches at the top left corner on a branch. An anatomical heart is superimposed in the center. The summary reads: A house is never without its ghosts. And the ghosts of Montresor are restless… Buffalo, 1881. Reunited after nearly a year, clairvoyant Madeline “Mattie” Montresor welcomes her wife Lenore back into their home—once the stage for extravagant séances held to entertain the city’s wealthy elite. But the house has changed dramatically in the time they’ve been separated. The rooms feel colder. The shadows seem darker. Mattie is tense and fraying at the edges, haunted as she’s never been before. In an attempt to exorcize the house of its tortured souls, Mattie and Lenore must pick apart its many horrific secrets. As they confront a gruesome past, the veil between this world and the next grows thinner, the haunting more malevolent. And when a killer appears to return from the grave, they find themselves in a desperate race against the impossible—all while Death closes in.

The official blurb of THIS HIDEOUS HEART, my standalone sapphic gothic horror romance reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous works.
