Growing up in Kentucky means I'm still obsessed with all things Appalachia. If you have a book set there, I'd love to see it. Bonus points for a mystery / crime novel or one with a touch of magic. Or maybe a combination thereof!

I'm over winter and ready for some summer vibes in my reading. Romance? Yes! Horror? Yes! Give me two people falling in love at the beach or bad things happening at summer camp. I'm open!

I love that paranormal romance is making a comeback, and am interested in seeing speculative romance of all stripes. I'm open to both cozy OR the darker end of the spectrum, as long as the stakes are high and immediate. Some faves: Sangu Mandanna, Ashley Poston, Ali Hazelwood, Lana Harper

. I'd love to see stories in some new time periods (esp 1930s, 1950s) and ones that are drawing parallels and making history relevant to our current world. Always love to see dual timelines! If Bonnie Garmus, Kristin Hannah, or Kate Morton are comps, hmu!

First up on my

is a postapocalyptic romance where the romance is just as important to the stakes as the end of the world itself. Bonus points for dark / black humor! Am also looking for dark romance / horror romance more broadly, but nothing w/ stalker vibes or questionable consent for me.

There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I donโt care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.

I'm just thrilled for this story to finally be out in the world. Like these characters, I didn't always know where it was taking me, but I enjoyed the ride, and I hope you do to.

The Onion summer writing fellowship is seeking applicants! It's six months, good salary and benefits. This year's applicants do NOT have to complete the Eating Challenge, as it turns out this does not adhere to Illinois labor law. We apologize to those who have died in the past.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.
