Austin, TX, I'll see you this weekend! I'm so excited to be going to @texasbookfest.bsky.social~ I'll be walking around with prints and bookmarks, if you catch me. 🥰 I heard there might even be AN ARCANE INHERITANCE arcs available... THIS ENDS IN EMBERS comes out in paperback on February 10, 2026.

✨ BLURB REVEAL ✨ AN ARCANE INHERITANCE is for Adults, but I needed a blurb from YA author Kelly Andrew because I think about her dark academia THE WHISPERING DARK every day. An Arcane Inheritance is out December 30, 2025. Kelly's next book, The Gravewood, is out April 7, 2026. Check them out!

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

ICYMI, I'm writing an Adult vampire romantasy! The first book, HEIR UNDYING, comes out in Fall 2027 and it was bought by @sourcebookscasa.bsky.social in a six-figure, three book deal. You can learn more about it over on Instagram: www.instagram.com/p/DQejCT3kfYO/ In the meantime, enjoy this art~

✨ NEW BOOK DEAL ✨ If you’re not over Klaus and Caroline from TVD, if you’re mad the Vampire Academy series was cancelled, if you’ve wondered what if Twilight focused on the Volturi, or if like Black vampires, HEIR UNDYING, my Adult romantasy, is coming your way! www.instagram.com/p/DQcHcHWCeCP/

Some of you have already seen the news so I can be a little less CRYPT-ic (I stole this joke 😂) See you tomorrow for the official announcement, but this is happening in part because of your support so I wanted to honor some of my favorite reader and author comments in this teaser!

it is... october 28th and i literally just noticed i didn't send a newsletter this month oh my god

It’s been a long time coming . . . but I’m writing a YA fantasy duology 🦚💘🏰 THE PEACOCK THRONE comes out in Fall 2026 from Delacorte Press and @getunderlined.bsky.social and I could NOT be more excited!!

please keep your eyes peeled for aces this week we're visible and experiencing the Terrifying Ordeal™

hm might fuck around and make an announcement around this time next week 😶😏

this is something i've been curious about lately. i see a lot of reviews of Adult novels that say it "reads like YA." i don't want to wade into THAT discourse, but, in your opinion, what's an Adult book you think reads like an Adult book? preferably without being grimdark?

they got the mona lisa in a place you can break into with tiny chainsaws and a scooter is that even the real mona lisa anymore did anyone check

@wordsiren.bsky.social's AN ARCANE INHERITANCE is absolute 🔥 dark academia. Whip-smart heroine enters a vicious world of hidden history and secret societies? Check. Prickly, Mr. Darcy-esque love interest? Check. A twist that singlehandedly redeems one of fiction's most hated tropes? Check—

AN ARCANE INHERITANCE has received a glowing review from Booklist!! They called the story "unusual" and "rich", as well as saying that it's perfect for fans of my "fantastical worldbuilding" and trope subversions. The full review will be in their November 2025 issue :) bookshop.org/p/books/an-a...

Being an adult isn’t always easy, but occasionally you can spend the whole day eating donuts and playing video games—just like Kid You imagined—and no one can tell you no. 🥰😂

i get so much value from @silviamg.bsky.social's publishing threads (buy her books!), so i figured i'd follow in her footsteps with some transparency here 🧵

SO LET THEM BURN and THIS ENDS IN EMBERS (yes, both!) have earned out. SO LET THEM BURN, my debut novel, came out a year ago. THIS ENDS IN EMBERS completed the duology in February. And now every time someone buys a copy in any format, I earn royalties. I can't stop crying. Thank you so much.

not me randomly finding this out for the first time from reading this article on my break 😂 thank you, PNBA!

tearing up because i finally got prescribed medication for my migraines so maybe, just maybe, i can finally finish editing this book

✨ BLURB REVEAL ✨ My love for @chelsabdullah.bsky.social is well-documented, but I can't tell you how flattered I was that she loved my Adult debut. An Arcane Inheritance is out on December 30, 2025. The Stardust Thief and The Ashfire King are out as well. Buy them! bookshop.org/p/books/an-a...

AN ARCANE INHERITANCE has received a glowing review from Shelf Awareness!!! www.shelf-awareness.com/max-issue.html They called my book "smart, well-plotted" and "irresistible". It's also "brilliant" and "the best kind of fantastical reading". I'm so, so happy, you guys!

this might flop, but so be it! if you are an author (pubbed or not!) who has a question about publishing/ career/market/ANYTHING, comment and ask! i'll answer the best i can :) note: my opinions are not law or The Only Way, i'm just trying to help

a lot of people found faron from SO LET THEM BURN unlikable and i'm afraid i must warn you all that caya from WICKED ENDEAVORS is worse please add the book anyway: www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

Hey y’all @britneyslewis.bsky.social Blood Moon novel is currently outselling Twilight and made number 1 on NYTBS. Can we be louder about it on here. For fans of Twilight/The Vampire Diaries #blackbooksky

tangled gave me unrealistic expectations because apparently i have to leave my house to meet people and if someone breaks in they are probably not my true love 🥲

i think about this art* every day of my life to go from adoring dragon media starring eragons and daeneryses to having my two Black girls on an alternate cover designed for my own dragon book... it still takes my breath away
