When a digital music artist interrupts a heist, she becomes entangled in an underground Robinhood-style crime syndicate bent on destroying the corporate elite. It’s good to be famous in a digital world, but being infamous is so much more fun.

I told you there was demand for my gay little grim reaper book (which I’m editing again 😅)

I’ve failed marketing The Promise of Darkness, so let’s try again:

✨I need other ppl in this science boy fandom because I swear to god my own ship is killing me

🔥You’ll love my chronically ill FMC because she’s a soft girl who’s still going to burn the world down

POV: You only applied to this school because your boyfriend went undercover to dismantle the planetary govt. Now you're both trapped and your only hope is a girl with the most volatile magic you've seen who hates you both. You'd be over-caffeinated too. #unhingedpit #q #ya #sf #f

I'm struggling through this WIP because my brain won't let go of the characters from my last manuscript, but if I write that sequel it's useless for the purposes of querying, so here we are!

Another somewhat slow week for my September Write-A-Thon, but I still made word count progress! I keep feeling like I'm about to lose the plot (that I don't have in the first place because I'm a pantser) but then I get back on track. 😂

I'm a little behind, but my submission is in for #PitchDis! It was really organic for me to portray my chronic illness in the character of Lauryl in The Promise of Darkness. I love how strong she remains even as the world (and her own magic) aims to destroy her. 🔥❤️

My first September Write-A-Thon update is on the light side, but I did finish the first chapter (this was my main goal) and I think I have a good start at the FMC's voice, which I expected to be harder because it's an existing character aged up and it's not my usual tense.

I'll be working on my next manuscript all month long in partnership with The Porch in Nashville. Here's where we're starting!

I haven’t decided if I’m posting for #1stLinePit because I’ll be on a plane most of that day, but I’d love to connect with everyone over on the camera app (which I use to annoy my irl friends mostly)
