It’s my hope that young readers, whether you have a name for yourselves or not, feel seen and held by Briar and Finn. Like them, you’re here, and you exist.

I’m writing more books!!! 🥹🥹🥹 So excited to announce my next YA novel, A DEATH KISSED SONG, coming Summer 2027. 🎻🕯️🎹🎧🪽

This one is so special to me. I can’t wait to tell you more about Cami and Evander. For now, let’s stare at this stunning art by MaeOwl 😍

Some (most) days in publishing it’s quiet. Some days there’s a couple of emails and then you have something major to share soon. Something that’s so deeply special to you and you can’t believe you get to say it out loud.

Book news defrosting…. 🎻🎹🕯️🕰️🪽

Growing up, I used to read Cosmo with friends at sleepovers. Back then, becoming an author was a faraway dream. It feels extremely full circle—and surreal—to say that my book is featured there now.

You can read an exclusive excerpt from THIS RAGING SEA below🖤🌊

Patiently waiting for the “bring back yearning” crowd to find This Raging Sea because Finn Adler basically has a PhD in yearning. He literally studies physics magic so he can rearrange time and protect the girl he loves in every universe over and over… even if he knows how it always ends 🥺

I keep forgetting to post here please don’t hate me bluesky… anyway finished copies of This Raging Sea have landed and they are stunning 🥹🥹🥹

So surreal to be holding my book for the first time. ✨🌊

On the last day of pride, I’m thinking of teenage me who kept so much inside. In less than 3 months I will become a published author, writing books with bi characters. Every word I write is for the girl I used to be—and for anyone who hasn’t found their voice yet, but still deserves to feel seen.🩷💜💙

My personal author goal in every book is to write a plot twist that hits as hard as “Oh, Anna. If only there was someone out there who loved you.”

What if I said I had an announcement for This Raging Sea tomorrow? And what if I said it’s something I’ve been asked about pretty much every day for the past few months? Aaaand what if I also said you could find it out now if you’re stealthy enough? 😌🌊 #BookSky

If you’re ever on the fence about messaging an author to tell them how much you loved their book, this is your sign to do it. Your words might end up meaning more than you realize. 🖤
