Goodnight from the sleepiest girl around 💤

Piper's father taught her everything she knows about necromancy. But when he's murdered, she must join forces with the season’s most eligible bachelor to infiltrate London’s secret necromancer society and catch the killer. #QuestPit #YA

Golden autumnal glow on my afternoon walk ✨

Running to Florence+The Machine is always amazing, but listening to The Old Religion and running as fast as I can through the fall leaves while Florence tells me I can’t outrun myself just hits different

Another year, another attempt at putting my cats in sweaters

If anyone needs me this morning, I'll be over here crying and listening to Sympathy Magic

To solve her father's murder, a necromancer & the season’s most eligible bachelor infiltrate a secret magic society. But to get answers, she'll have to uncover skeletons in her father's closet, delve into dark magic, & decide who she truly trusts: her magic or the boy stealing her heart #DVPit #YA

I don’t know what they put in the air at Home Goods, but every time I go in there it’s like I black out, my inner basic white girl takes over, and I come to in the parking lot with a bag full of fall decorations

Just a sunshine girl with her toys ☀️

I'm rewatching the vampire diaries again and I know there are a lot of farfetched things in this show, but honestly the only one that truly bothers me every time is how they immediately recognize people they haven't seen in 100+ years

Stopped to take a picture of this pretty flower, 30 seconds later a bee flew into my hair. Balance, I guess?

My book combining the lush mythology of This Woven Kingdom with the mother trauma of Snow White is being published! I’m thrilled to work with Ashley Hearn at Peachtree Teen who gets all the layers of The Lustrous Dark and has the vision to grow this story into its final form!!

Tell me your pet's name with a GIF. This is one of my cats! The other cat is Annie because she was a foster fail and when I was fostering her, the shelter named her Ant. I didn't like that and called her Annie, and by the time I adopted her she already answered to it ❤️

Things I did today when I should have been writing: - stared at query tracker - made a canva graphic - listened to Taylor Swift - cried - had a little snack - stared at query tracker again

Elphie loves her new bed on my desk so she can hang out next to me while I write, instead of sitting directly in front of my monitor all the time 💕

I made s’mores cake for my husband’s birthday!! Gluten and dairy free, because who says dietary restrictions mean I can’t have delicious treats?? 😍

SPRINTED to the door when I heard the delivery person because it’s FINALLY here and it’s BEAUTIFUL!!!! 💕💕💕 If you don’t have a copy of @brianawrites.bsky.social’s brilliant book yet, this is your sign to go get one!

Magical barista Jolie wants to make potions, get her crush’s notice, & win a prank war against rival witch, Levi. But when a prank gone wrong ignites an ancient feud with a group of vengeful vampires, Jolie & Levi must put aside their differences and work together to save their coven #questpit #ya

Half marathon in the pouring down rain this morning! Headphones didn’t work, hip cramped up, and I didn’t quite make my time goal, but I still finished💪

Hello exclusively to the lady I passed this morning who waved and told me to “have a happy day” ☀️

Pretty scenes from today’s run ☀️🌳

in case any #amquerying folks don't know, there's an "agents with similar tastes" list under reports on agent profiles in querytracker and it's really helpful!

Lemon blueberry cake! Plus, it’s gluten and dairy free!! 🍋

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

Today my husband informed me that I have 3-4 sweaters I wear exclusively when having a writing related mental breakdown. Today I was telling him I was freaking out and he said “well yeah, I figured you would at some point today because that’s your ‘I’m losing it’ sweater” 😂

Unfortunately my ADHD writer brain doesn’t understand normal work hours and sometimes decides to give me absolutely nothing at 2 PM and everything at 2 AM

There are lots of free resources for how to write a query letter online. Mine: cjsubko.beehiiv.com/p/the-anatom... My friend M did a whole site of resources: queryinghub.wordpress.com You never NEED to pay to play. #querying #writing

and just like that, there's a submission request in my inbox!! Querying is an emotional rollercoaster

At the moment, I'm not sure which is worse, querying or drafting. I'm either crying while staring at my inbox or crying while staring at a blank page lol

Thank you, Senator Cory Booker! #Resist
