Hi, good to meet you here!

I write mostly YA scifi fantasy, but I've written a couple of rom com short stories.

Love Veronica Roth's writing @veronicaroth.bsky.social

Hi, new here. If I had a Twitter account, it's not been active for a long time.

For 2025, I want to publish a novel I've been working on for awhile.

I want to re-read some of the books on my kindle, and great YA fiction and sci-fi for any age I've not seen yet. Feel free to recommend your fav.
