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.

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.

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.

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 🥺

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.”
