I've been keeping a secret!! 😈 I am beyond excited to announce that my debut novel, FLOWERS FOR A MARTIAN, is coming to a shelf near you next summer with One More Chapter! I couldn't be happier with this team, and I can't wait to go on this journey with everyone.

*coming out of your walls* Hey do you want to read a 🏳️‍⚧️ second chance romance about a run away reuniting with his bsf who doesn't recognize him after ten years and a medical transition?

There's a writing contest happening in my area, and I wrote a deeply personal piece for submission. But now I'm too scared to send it off 😱

Oliver Heart is a vampire. The problem? He comes from a long line of vampire hunters. Now, he must find a cure while tracking down the one who turned him. All without his family finding out the truth. #WIP #writingcommunity #drafting

🏳️‍🌈3 bi disasters take on the end of the world 🧎‍♂️The Preacher = out for blood 🧟‍♀️The Horde = hunting for flesh 🥼The Dentist = can't stop smiling ♾️ THE Z WORD x THE WALKING DEAD #queerpit #lgbt #h #sf #a #own #nd

Theo is down bad for Zac. Zac is still mourning the death of his girlfriend, Freddie. Freddie appears to Theo as a ghost and asks him to pass a message to Zac for her. When Theo starts hanging out more with Zac, the two find they make their own special kind of music. #queerpit #YA #RC

EDITORS 👀 QUEER HALLMARK Liam ran; Duncan stayed. Now, they're paired on a city project--but Duncan doesn't recognize Liam post-transition. Liam thinks he can pretend to be a stranger, but as feelings grow it's only a matter of time before Duncan unburies their past. #queerpit #romcom #onsub

If you're wondering why I'm dark this weekend it's because I've gotten the absolutely batshit idea that I can finish drafting my middle grade novel in the next three days byeeeeeee

In my experience there are three kinds of fantasy magic novels:

A Southern inheritance is always dark—whether it's a penchant for pills, a blood-soaked family farm, or an ancient magic. Sierra spurns them all, but when her dad disappears, she must choose which monsters to slay, and which to become. #PopUpPitE #LuckyPit

Nerissa’s plan for regaining her autonomy is simple—betray her King by aiding the humans as he attempts to conquer the isle. Whats not so simple—keeping him from finding out. Whats even more complicated—the pirate&prince threatening to claim her for their own #PopUpPitA #df #wip #a

“I was one of the critics that sat on the side and made the decision there was only two genders, so I got an education that was unbelievable. And I don't know just exactly how to say this but my perspective for people have changed [...] I’d like to apologize" good things still happen sometimes 🥲

👽🌸 We need trans joy, too 🌸👽 #writingcommunity #snippet #onsubmission art by @cleadraw.bsky.social <3

I got a hard pass today. My book is too trans for trad pub. Still, I will never let myself believe that there isn't a place for voices like mine. If Aiden Thomas can, I can. If Page Powars can, I can. If AJW can, I can. If so many other insanely talented and wonderful trans authors can, SO CAN I!

New week, new #editorsguide! 👽🌸 FLOWERS FOR A MARTIAN 🌸👽 is a love letter to small hometowns, found/blood family, and loss/grief in all its forms (yes, even the messy ones). Thank you @authorkateduarte.bsky.social for this beautiful guide!!

I only wrote three paragraphs in my WIP today but a win is a win

Oh We are SO back 😘 (Art by @runicwren.bsky.social graphic by me <3)

Something is on the horizon I FEEL IT in my bones

All the reasons Stevie and Adam will NEVER work (unless they fake it 🤭)

Every day is a #WIP pitch day if you're unhinged enough Picture this: > She's bi > He's trans > Their exs are getting married > So they team up to fake an engagement and then crash the wedding 🤭

Oh y'all are NOT ready for my current #WIP #writingcommunity (thank you @comicsbycass.bsky.social for the art hehe)
