Have I seen financial success as an author thus far? Not yet. But is pumpkin EVERYTHING at the B&N cafe technically a tax write-off, since I’m also drafting? HELL YEAH IT IS. 🎃

Dolly Parton dying before H I M is so unacceptably wrong 😭

Happy news: I’m attending Yo! Book Fest in Villanova, PA in October! 🎃📖 From the event website: “[YO! Book Fest] is a free event featuring some of the nation’s most beloved authors and illustrators of children’s, middle grade, and young adult books.” 📚 Schedule to come! ❤️

Self-aware that I’m projecting, but the impossible demands of the 2XKO devs really remind me of problems in trad pub, and I hurt for them. Make a product that isn’t like everything else. But then if it doesn’t sell, it’s your fault. Because somehow marketing is also your job.

24 Aug 2026 17:30 +0000

Hell hath no fury like a senior citizen who has been mildly inconvenienced. Can I start my work Monday over? Please?

24 Aug 2026 03:29 +0000

Finally watched Project Hail Mary with my girlfriend, at my literary agent’s incessant insistence, and said agent proceeded to start the movie at the same time we did so that we could text each other Rocky quotes in unison. Life is weird and wonderful sometimes. 👎🏻😭

Oh. my God. I wrote almost 4,000 words today. Which brings my weekend to almost 6,500 words. That's a personal record for me in recent memory. I feel like I'm finally in a good place with this draft, firing on all cylinders. All I have to do is keep writing until THE END.

23 Aug 2026 04:42 +0000

As 2XKO shuts down, I’m seeing lots of discourse around how it was destined to fail—not because of the game itself, but because Riot presumed failure, didn’t market/promote it, and therefore created a self-fulfilling prophecy.

One of my favorite indies on the NJ side of the bridge also got BETWEEN SUN AND SHADOW in today! There are 5 signed copies at Ren’s Coffeehouse and Books (with stickers and bookmarks inside.) 🩷💜💙

22 Aug 2026 20:01 +0000

Sold 9 of the stocked 18 BSAS hardcovers at Philly Book Crawl today in about 2 hours! 🩷💜💙 On a personal mission to disprove every single industry person who has tried to tell me “sapphic doesn’t sell.” IT’S SELLING! 🎉

I have < 70 bookmarks left after originally having 500. Between pre-orders, bookmarks in signed copies, giving them away at signing events, giving them to friends, using them to cold pitch, and leaving 35 at assorted B&Ns in Florida last weekend… 400+ bookmarks. Surreal.

21 Aug 2026 14:40 +0000

So excited to be part of Philly Book Crawl tomorrow! You can find me at Midsummer Books from 1-2PM. ✨

B R O. I make my first Arcane-related post in MONTHS to see 2XKO is shutting down?! https://static.klipy.com/ii/4493325008d34b7bf8cd6813cd5c1619/cd/d9/9tB8KDQ1YVKu44EX.gif?hh=346&ww=340&mp4=j9dGVE5MLscZ7dE&webm=SXZWT8sYYIgNuf2

They’re SHUTTERING 2XKO?!!??

Listening to the Arcane soundtrack again today, I decided to have some fun in Canva! 😂 Here are my top 5 reasons why fans of ARCANE would love my debut YA SFF novel, BETWEEN SUN AND SHADOW! 💜 (I happen to think it would also make a great animated show, so… Netflix, you know where to find me!) 👀

19 Aug 2026 19:44 +0000

It’s supposed to be about the ransom. It’s not. 👀🩷💜💙 Borrowing this format from some author friends because it’s fun! 🤩 If you’ve ever wanted a sapphic Beauty & the Beast, I have a book for you. 📖 #yafantasy #yascifi #hadesandpersephone #beautyandthebeast #sapphicbooks

19 Aug 2026 13:12 +0000

No TNS stream for me tonight. I am exhausted.

19 Aug 2026 05:32 +0000

It's 1:30 AM, but I have a finalized outline, pitch materials, and 100+ cleaned-up pages in my literary agent's inbox. WHEN I WANT SOMETHING, I FIGHT FOR IT! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

BEHEADING™️

19 Aug 2026 00:27 +0000

Randomly had a post poking fun at Frozen 3 blow up on Threads, and now have received the loveliest replies from several people checking out (and already enjoying) my book. 😭❤️ You ever have moments where you’re just like, man, I’m glad I kept going at my lowest? These are that.

19 Aug 2026 00:11 +0000

Pulled an all-nighter Sunday into Monday’s flight(s) home, worked 9-6 today, but I am up to my neck in these draft/outline revisions by the power of Red Bull anyway. Never underestimate a girl with A STORY TO TELL!!! Crossing my everything with this pitch, y’all.

18 Aug 2026 15:56 +0000

I’m featured on today’s episode of Doylestown Bookshop’s “Booked” podcast! 🎧 It was a blast chatting about the inspiration behind my sapphic YA Hades/Persephone in outer space, BETWEEN SUN & SHADOW. 💜 You can listen on Spotify or Apple podcasts! 🔗: linktr.ee/BookedPodcast https://linktr.ee/BookedPodcast

Heard this weekend that Disney is making FROZEN 3. Had my roommates cackling because I said that all Disney does for sequels is randomly create a love interest for a sidekick that’s just a super feminine clone, so we’d better brace for “Olafette.” GUYS. I HATE BEING CASSANDRA.

17 Aug 2026 16:12 +0000

Home, ate popcorn baron for lunch, and gonna take a fat nap. This weekend didn’t feel nearly long enough. I think it’s safe to say my crowdfund goals will be Combo Breaker and CEO always going forward. There’s nothing else like this. I’m so sad it’s over. Again.

17 Aug 2026 12:01 +0000

Made my connecting flight and officially actually on my way home. I already miss CEO.

17 Aug 2026 04:50 +0000

Despite my abysmal bracket run, I have enough learned lessons (and other highlights) to make a CEO video. But it won’t be until at least September. I have a deadline to hit on pitch materials to my literary agent. Stay tuned next month!

17 Aug 2026 03:52 +0000

Unlocked friendly trash talk at CEO that I didn’t know I had. 😂 Kenny finally got a win off me after I won 4 straight in the FT5. He goes, “Finally a game!” And without missing a beat, I said, “That won’t happen again,” and mashed rematch. I won (then lost the runback LMAO.)

16 Aug 2026 22:27 +0000

Finally met Kenny Omega and ran the set! I won 5-1, he held up the line to demand a runback, and then I lost 2-5. We owe each other a tiebreaker at a future major. So incredibly cool!!

16 Aug 2026 15:38 +0000

In many ways, this has been my worst experience at a major… humiliating stream set, worst bracket performance I’ve ever had, forgot an important med and had a vicious migraine all day Saturday because of it… and yet I’ve still had an amazing weekend and want to return in 2027.

16 Aug 2026 15:33 +0000

If anybody was worried about me in the Underground last night: I didn’t drink any alcohol! I have chronic migraines, and an all-day one finally abated and switched to nausea instead. I’m definitely not actually ill because I just ate a huge breakfast this morning. I’ll be fine!
