I’m thrilled to finally share the updated guide to my gothic horror novel, THE BANSHEE OF CLAN MURTAGH. Now revised through the 2025 SmoochPit Mentorship program! 🖤 Medieval Ireland 🖤 She's the monster 🖤 Bubonic plague 🖤 Only one grave #agentsguide #gothic #horrormance

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.

I retreated a step. A drip sounded, followed by a squelch. And the bruised shadow rippled. I sucked in a breath, my heart pounding so hard I could feel it in the tips of my fingers. The darkness spread. Tendrils of it moving closer. Inching its way toward me. Something #empty and hungry. #YA #SFF

...dreams have power. We harness that power for energy in our #city to fuel our giftings using a series of webs in the earth that funnel dream seeds to Enlil or one of the other Six Cities...As long as there are dreams, we have a clean source of never-ending energy.” #YA #Fantasy

I just got to type the two most beautiful words I'll ever write. 🥹😭

Dynamic between my two MC's: “I’m gonna drop,” I warned. “I’ll catch you.” Not my point. Really he just needed to get out of my way, but blood from the cuts on my hand was already making my grip tenuous. I didn’t want to hold on any longer just to argue the point. #WIPPit #YA #SFF #amdrafting

More people joined our trek, making me feel like I’d joined the army. Which was bad, as I was pretty sure they didn’t want recruits who slept with a night light & passed out under pressure. The fine lines of the city grew rugged, the #crystal lattice overhead thickening until it was solid emerald.

The drop yawned below, endless and black. My stomach hollowed. I could almost feel the plummet—air rushing past, the heat rising until it melted the skin from my bones. There was no way I was crossing that. It gave me not just second thoughts, but #third and fourth as well. #WIPSnips #YA #SFF

Been steadily getting my first draft done on my latest #YA #SFF. 💰Rags to riches 🗡️Kiss, Marry, Kill 🦢Tattoos to display powers 🧵The threads of fate 🦹🏽Hero to villain 👫Dual POV “I’m gonna drop,” I warned. “I’ll catch you.” Not my point. Really he just needed to get out of my way. #amdrafting

The incline of the Valley steepened, mud giving way to gray rocks slick with rain. Kaden slowed his #progress, ensuring his footing was clear as he wove his way around the worst of the cliffside to a more gentle hill lined by a few sparse pine trees. #wipsnips #YASFF

“I charge five dollars for peep shows, Creeper,” Dai said, bringing my attention to his unreadable charcoal eyes and glinting piercings. He shoved a blue #t-shirt over his head. “Do you need something or just here to lurk?” I snapped my mouth shut. “I’m not lurking. I had a question.” #wipsnips

A shape moved ahead, and though I was supposedly protected by the shield of gold, I startled backward into the wall. A black splotch shifted, deeper than any shadow. In a blur of #movement, it scurried forward and into the flickering tongues of the firelight. #WIPSnips

#MockPit #FiFRevPit STOLEN MAGIC To free a girl who’s lost her memories to a ruthless duchess, Vreta must reveal her deepest secret: her mind magic. But she risks losing the trust of the man she’s come to love—and losing her identity to the duchess’s power.
