Unfortunately this scene from my dystopian book is entirely based on the reality of the dish return at my college :( #amquerying

My bestie got an agent, and one of my favorite books ever is one step closer to being in the world!!!!!

Don't worry "Smart Bitches, Trashy Books" - I am.

"Prey animal rage" and "predator animal fear"? That's just the two POVs in #TheScourge

Me: Why is this playlist so sad? Also Me: Oh wait this is my Dead Deer Playlist #ASOFTPLACETOLAND #amquerying

MY BESTIE AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS

Love is love, sure, but confusing hatelovefucking is also confusing hatelovefucking and we should honor that in all orientations 😇 #TheScourge #WIP

To say I'm absolutely wrecked by Andor (and the following rewatch of Rogue One) would be a woeful understatement.

Do you love toxic mlm relationships where the energy is Chokehold by Sleep Token? If so, Scourge is the book for you. open.spotify.com/track/0JzQSY...

My story “The Day They Shot Khalil Rucker” is in an antifa lit journal, and they’re giving copies to folks who back the kickstarter for a volume 2! Help support people using art to push back on the rise of fascism by backing here: bit.ly/ALJKick ❤️🖤❤️

When this is the dynamic between the two characters in your book except they're both POV characters and which is which depends on who you ask (both are liars) open.spotify.com/track/7zbPWQ...

By this metric I am very successful.

I keep telling myself I'll cultivate a very demure, very mindful author profile on here sometime, but let's be real, I won't. So I'm gonna start contextless goblinposting about my books now. Here's a song that manages to feel like both Soft Place & Splinter (a feat) open.spotify.com/track/5cgacD...

Hey #literaryagents - are you looking for cozy fantasy that doesn't leave out pain? Ask me about A SOFT PLACE TO LAND. #amquerying www.typebarmagazine.com/2025/02/23/l...

Y'all I'm officially IN THE TRENCHES

I've been trying to learn how to paint/draw people (either digitally or on paper). It's humbling, as I've been doing fiber art pretty exclusively these past few years and I'm actually *good* at that, but it's still fun. Here's Brigid, the MC from the book I'm querying, A SOFT PLACE TO LAND

Lesbian longing? ✅ Beautiful forest? ✅ Cheerful animal companions? ✅ Trapped for eternity as the sole human in a gentle but lonely afterlife, where the only way out is to find true internal peace? ✅ - Wait... What? A SOFT PLACE TO LAND (or is it?) #P2Ppit #Q #A #F #U

Is that a *talking deer*? In this afterlife, anything is possible. Except purpose. Or progress. Or other people. In order to escape her pleasant purgatory, Brigid must make peace with her life (and death) But how can she, with so many regrets? #P2Ppit #Q #A #F #U

Bury your gays is over - it’s time to bring them back to life. The grim twist on fairytale nostalgia of How To Be Eaten + woodsy women’s magic of Weyward Cozy + high stakes & real depth Unapologetically queer (own voice) A SOFT PLACE TO LAND #P2Ppit #Q #A #F #U

One of my favorite books of all time y'all

Coming to the trenches this month! Here is my agent guide to my "cozy grimdark" adult fantasy A SOFT PLACE TO LAND Complete at 80k words #amquerying #agentguide #authorcommunity

Both my besties finished beta'ing both my nearly-query-ready books the same weekend so needless to say I'm breathing into a paper bag

I'm SO CLOSE to querying A Soft Place To Land and I absolutely CANNOT WAIT

This is a favorite bit of A Soft Place to Land for me. It's been so fun trying to make this magical place come to life, despite the main character's tendency to be a skeptic.

I'm determined to hit the query trenches this month, so from now on no more terrible boys or political intrigue - all that exists is a deer, a coyote, and a terrifyingly static afterlife that Brigid never wanted for herself.

Hair is hard and so is Wolf but here’s an attempt. Also from The Scourge. (I really should be drawing characters from the books I’m actually querying, but these piece of shit boys are just too fun) #amquerying #grimdark #dystopianauthors #newartist

I’m going to try to be more active this year. This works well because I’m also trying to learn to draw my characters. So here’s one of Rampage from The Scourge, in the wake of That Scene (iykyk). For some reason it cropped weird so definitely click it! #amquerying #newauthor #grimdark

Bsky please stop showing me liberal pandering I’m a fucking anarchist

Hi new followers! I'm an author seeking representation! Here are some fun facts to introduce myself: 1) I once ate a chocolate croissant during a field dissection 2) I think that grimdark & hopepunk have lots in common if you like watching things burn 3) My degree is in anthropology and it shows

Fellow authors! What is your current WIP? While I eagerly await feedback on both A SOFT PLACE TO LAND (cozy grimdark) and THE END (nix the cozy, add dystopia), I'm drafting a brand new project. It's super secret right now, because it is in baby baby stages, but I'll give a teaser GIF....

You hate talking animal stories? Cool, me too. But what about talking ghost/zombie/spirit animal stories? Where the cute deer companion is totally dead, and the coyote remembers the trap that killed him? Idk, I think that gets a pass 🦌 A SOFT PLACE TO LAND - Coming soon to the trenches
