i fully believe that writing your dedication and acknowledgments are about a thousand times harder than actually writing the damn book.

i went from drafting something new to jumping into dev edits to slipping into revisions for *something* to diving headfirst into pass pages. there have been absolutely no breathers this season & it's because exciting things are coming in 2026. 👀

if IG says that i joined "meta AI" NO I TF DIDN'T. also how is that allowed? just blatantly lying about user profiles to try to lure people into joining this stupid thing no one asked for?

i literally did not give 2 shits about awards, lists, or prizes until i saw how much weight everyone *else* places on awards, lists, and prizes. and that's a great example of how social media can do writers a disservice.

my dream CAME TRUE! i will celebrate that, regardless of external validation

celebrate the holiday season with a book about lots of murder where the MC pretends to be a female serial killer nicknamed Mistletoe. it will get you RIGHT into that holiday spirit. 🔪

two things that have constantly happened to me since becoming a published author:

- my name being misspelled
- being misgendered

please y'all, this info is readily available. i understand mistakes, but if you're a journalist or reviewer or industry professional just take the extra 2 sec to check

the UK cover of my fucked up body horror about a tradwife influencer who has a demonic, hungry baby is SO COOL. and relevant.

if you read the book, you'll see i have some *thoughts* about social media's relationship with the rise of tradwife culture. 👀

look if you're picking up a book called SERIAL KILLER SUPPORT GROUP and then tagging me to complain it's "unrealistic," i kinda feel like that's on you. the title makes it very clear what you're getting into lol.

happy birthday to the UK edition of my debut novel, which comes out today! (with a badass new cover 😍)

i often wonder if there's another industry that's as much of a mindfuck as publishing is. probably acting/modeling, since there's an added layer there of what you physically look like, but there is something SO intense about publishing that's hard to explain to those not actively in it.

I LOVE WRITING BOOKS.

i had so much fun at Horror Reader Weekend! it's true what they say: the horror community is very welcoming and fun.

also my poor TBR stack is officially overloaded, but that's how we like it.

i know people like getting their PM deals on mugs but i live with a ceramic artist and we have 8,000 mugs, so i do pillows. my newest pillows have joined the collection. (now there are 4!!!!)

as someone who has run a virtual book for 5 years, i get a special bump of serotonin every time i hear a book club has chosen to read my debut. 🥹

i got my first royalty statement as a published author and it's official: SERIAL KILLER SUPPORT GROUP earned out! if you bought my debut or recommended it or asked your library to stock it, thank you so much.

i worked really, really hard over many years to get here, and i could not be more grateful

the first major company to proudly declare and PROVE themselves as anti-AI/pro-artist instead of flooding their services with genAI or AI-powered shit no one asked for is gonna get my money so hard.

happy halloween to my angry first child (out now) and my very hungry second child (coming your way 2.10.26)

i hope they both freak you out in different but equally messed up ways 🥰
October 31, 2025 at 12:45 PM
DONE. 😮‍💨 i wrote 90,000 words in 35 days and i am TIRED. there's nothing quite like excising a story that won't leave you alone from your brain.

and now i have a first draft, so the hard part is over! (ish)

One last round of fun before we get to the final entry. Since it's that time of year, what spooky BOOKS are you reading/waiting to be released? My most anticipated release is Trad Wife by @saratogaishere.bsky.social #RevPit #10Queries
October 24, 2025 at 5:29 PM
i love (read: hate) how we keep begging for things to have LESS genAI and companies are like "but what if we made it widespread instead!! and impossible to turn off! and really ugly!!"

get this shit out of my face i am so serious.
