Ok, but this was amazing, y’all. I still need to grab pictures from people, but I’m so thankful for all the readers, authors, and narrators who turned out. I sold out of paperbacks AND hardbacks for The Woman from the Waves. It was a fantastic crowd and I already can’t wait for next year!

It’s tomorrow!! There’s still time to get your tickets: www.eventbrite.com/e/sapphyre-a...

I couldn’t be: 1. Prouder 2. Less surprised Carrie wrote a beautiful, brilliant debut and it’s beyond satisfying to see it get the recognition it deserves. Congratulations, baby ❤️❤️❤️

I love a good game!

Game time! @byrdwrites.bsky.social & I are doing GCLS cross-promo. The first conference attendee to find me and answer a trivia question gets a free, signed paperback of Carrie’s THREE time Goldie nominee book Loser of the Year! Q: What’s the name of the school where Jillian and Mattie teach?

Catch me at GLCS! Ahhh, I can’t believe it’s tomorrow!

This means a lot to me and answers questions I’ve had my whole life. I don’t share a lot of personal stuff here but I feel this matters. I’ve been cruel to myself for a long time and am wondering, now, if I can learn to stop doing that. Interested to hear from other folks in the same situation.

Happy Fourth of July! Everything in the USA feels terrible! 🦅 My July newsletter goes out tomorrow, and it's got some goofy stuff I hope will lighten your spirit. For myself, I plan to spend today reading about the storming of the Bastille. No reason why. You can sign up here: shorturl.at/iROpS

In less than a month, my sapphic romantasy THE WOMAN FROM THE WAVES has gotten over 1 million page reads on Kindle Unlimited. I’m in shock, and so grateful for everyone who’s gone on Madeleine and Hæra’s journey. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I love making playlists for my books, and for my sapphic romantasy THE WOMAN FROM THE WAVES I decided to do a proper movie score. Like the book, it’s by turns epic, exciting, heartbreaking, and very romantic. Readers will know why the bonus track is there too 😈 Link in reply!

“Every moment—whether funny, heartbreaking, or hopeful—carries weight and meaning. I didn’t just enjoy reading this book; I felt it. And even after turning the last page, I’m still thinking about these characters.” Thanks so much to @thelesbianreview.com for this incredible review!

This week I put the author in Guess the Author courtesy of @iheartsapphfic.bsky.social! Thanks, IHS! iheartsapphfic.com/2025/06/21/j...

New WIP based on my time in Spain, “Is This City Street For Driving or Nah? A Mystery”

I love a big hardback with a dust jacket, and my sapphic romantasy THE WOMAN FROM THE WAVES scratched that itch big time. The cover is so smooth and pretty 🤩
