Millie's rules as Guide to the Afterlife: ✅️ 1. Stop The Man with the Burlap Sack from devouring souls ✅️ 2. Finish your business or rot in his burlap sack ❌️ 3. Don't bind souls with your best friend or anyone. Ever Well... 2 out of 3 ain't bad. What's the worst that could happen?

When a cupid-in-training perfectionist accidentally swaps love heart candies on her valentines cupcakes with hate hearts, she burns her shot at becoming a cupid. Now, she must choose between covering up her mistakes or giving up on her 'perfectly perfect' ways.

One year ago today, I was at work when I received an email from my now agent requesting to set up The Call. Now, we're on sub with my MG horror and preparing a YA fantasy for sub early next year. Keep querying, keep writing because dreams do come true!

I've been re-reading my on submission MG horror and I still absolutely love this story! The voice! The character! The vibes! It's still one of my favorite books I've ever written, and I hope one day to get to share it with more readers.
