So thrilled to share the cover for my debut novel, MAGGIE AND ARTHUR'S MAGIC MOMENT! When two grumpy professors at a magical college are forced into tight quarters, they'll have to defeat a dangerous spell that has overtaken their academic building—if they can handle the shared office hours first. ✨

Chelsea is such an amazing writer! Her book is an incredible, propulsive romantasy that I can't put down!

After watching back to back, I think S2 of Andor is better. S1 maybe has more memorable moments (Maarva's funeral, the prison) but S2 tells a more cohesive story and has incredible performances by Luna, Dulau, Arjona, and O'Reilly that rely less on monologues than on more quiet, physical acting.

Listening to Dating Dr. Dil while I clean and absolutely giggling. Nisha Sharma! Writer that you are!

Now that I've finished, this was about ANA MARÍA AND THE FOX by @lianainbloom.bsky.social. When Gideon said, "Marry me instead" I was giggling and kicking my feet. It's so good!

I love romance novels so much because there is nothing quite like encountering a beloved trope and it feeling like a delightful surprise.

It is a dream come true to share that my book, MAGGIE AND ARTHUR’S MAGIC MOMENT, is going to be published by @berkleyromance.bsky.social in 2026! I'm so grateful to my amazing editor Sarah and my incredible agent @btaylorbooks.bsky.social I can't wait for you to read it! #booksky #romancelandia

A casual mention of the classic cane toad documentary in WHEN AMONG CROWS by @veronicaroth.bsky.social?! I am obsessed.

Brent has been such an incredible partner over the last (almost!) year. You should send him your queries!!

I've been rewatching LOST and what show is doing it big like this now? Cinematic, original score, spooky and mysterious? I haven't been able to watch a lot of recent television, but Severance is the one I could think of (though Lost is more campy than Severance)

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear this

I was going to post about how many times we had to go to urgent care this weekend, but I know better than that. The weekend isn't over yet 😮‍💨

I'd really love to meet more BIPOC writers. I didn't take the opportunity years ago on book twt and I don't want to repeat the same mistake! Anyone have recommendations or any starter packs out there for BIPOC writers (regardless of status — aspiring, unagented, agented, published, etc)?

As Bouie and Serwer have said frequently, make this administration fight EVERY battle.

✨ YA BOOK NEWS ✨ I'm so excited to announce that my next YA duology, a romantasy called WICKED ENDEAVORS, is coming in Summer 2026! If So Let Them Burn was about the power of love, then Wicked Endeavors is about the poisonous yet motivating power of hate. Black female rage abounds in this one 😈
