Reposts greatly appreciated. Still trying to find my people, and to be found. ♥️
This is my new account! I deleted, then BlueSky banned me, then I got my account back! If you think you’re following me, you’re probably not! I get anxious about social media!
But I just sold a novel ON PITCH and have some big announcements coming in 2026, so here I am again! You know what to do!

I’m loving We Love You, Bunny so far, but I wish we had a separate book about Jonah and the other poets. He’s so warm and considerate yet so weird. Please Mona Awad, I need to know what kind of poetry this guy writes.
