They say the final act is the hardest to survive. After a lot of blood, sweat, and eleventh-hour decisions, I’m beyond thrilled to announce that I’m now represented by @alexbrownwrites.bsky.social at Mad Woman Literary Agency! I can't wait to work on making Hotel Adair even more deadly.

This has been a year where I learned how to tell myself, “I’m proud of myself,” something that took over 30 years to get to and a lesson I didn’t know had been missing. So here is my Wrapped 2025 ❤️📚 #writingcommunity #writers #writesky #wrapped

To my peers in the #writingcommunity: some thoughts about QT Premium. It’s useful, but not 100% healthy. It’s like checking impressions/views on sm—more harm than good. Agents don’t always read in order, & it adds stress & comparison to an already stressful process. You’re a star! #writers #writesky

Congratulations!!!

Thrilled to share I’m officially repped by @emilykaitlin.bsky.social @ @bookendsliterary.bsky.social! I’m so grateful to her & @laylafallah.bsky.social for their support and guidance as I begin this next ch. Excited to celebrate with the #writingcommunity in this 🧵! #writesky #agented

#litagents Interested in a dystopian romance where LOVE ISLAND meets SQUID GAME and BLACK MIRROR? What can you expect this season? - Touch her and die MMC - Soulhates to soulmates - Cute robots that help you accessorize - Head rolling twists #amquerying #writingcommunity

With everything going on lately I completely forgot to post about two major events: the Empire Records anniversary and the Dawson’s Creek reunion. Please respect my privacy during this difficult time. 📼💅

I take a selfie maybe once every 3 years because they’re awkward and I never know how to hold the phone without dropping it. Today I tried and caught the exact moment my elbow spilled my coffee. I call it realism. #WritingCommunity #writers #writesky

Comedy feels more essential than ever right now. In high school, I’d stay up to watch the late night shows—eventually, I got to work on two of them. The hosts and writers behind these shows? Actual geniuses. Some of the most inspiring people alive. What a week 💔 #writers #writingcommunity #writesky

Haven’t been super active here lately—partly because I’m deep in my #WIP, partly because I forget to be social on social. ➡️What I will say: Trader Joe’s and pumpkin spice are making me feel what counts 🍂 #writingcommunity #writers #writesky

My author stamps: ✨ Slice of life & the quiet things we overlook ✨ Banter is a love language ✨ FMCs & MMCs sharing similar internal conflicts ✨ Slow burn romances ✨ Ensemble casts ✨ Always a HEA #writingQ #WritingCommunity #writers #writesky

Told my husband I got the most rejections I’ve ever rec’d in a single day. He immediately said, “You’re making progress.” I was annoyed—until he explained: even the no’s mean I’m moving forward.
