To start off 2026, I want to do a giveaway for five people. ♥️ If you’d like to enter to win free copies of AN ANTHEM OF SUNS and A THOUSAND YEARS OF FROST, all you have to do is follow on goodreads. #booksky

May all your delulu, come trululu. ♥️

Anyway, Instagram is my personal photo book. ♥️ #photography

Glossary art for AN ANTHEM OF SUNS. Also, book 2, A THOUSAND YEARS OF FROST will come out this December.🩵

The sound and visuals of Cinderella stacking the cheese wheel in her third movie scratched my brain just right and I still think about it.

I’m verified on Goodreads now. ♥️

Earth is the prettiest.

I want to know why every early 2000’s movie depicts the younger brother as an agenda-minded rascal with access to military-grade spyware and technology. Who is buying things for them? How does no one notice?

Happy Cherry Blossom Season 🌸

A few years ago, I took every single book I had ever written out of print and unpublished the digital versions. I always wondered if that was the right decision. Now that Meta is on an AI book-pirating heist, I’m sure it was. I’m sorry for all the authors who found their original work on that list.

I have a character with lavender eyes and shell pink hair reaching the floor. It’s strung with strands of pearls, and she has pet rose finches that flutter around to help her get dressed in the morning. P.S. This is Khalkassia, and she almost exclusively wears white wedding gowns. THIS IS WOMAN.

It’s official. I’ve sent well over a thousand queries for my novels.

A reluctant bride is trapped in a mysterious château where her only escape is through the enchanted storybooks belonging to the Fey Library. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN X BEAUTY AND THE BEAST 86k (a standalone). #booksky

South Dakota is introducing a bill (HB1239) to criminalize librarians and teachers. They will be criminally charged if young audiences check out a book that the government deems unsuitable or inappropriate. #booksky

To answer the long-standing mystery, when an author says, “His eyes darkened,” it means his pupils dilated either from lust, fear, anger, or another strong emotion. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. #booksky

More anomalous author goals: 🟩 See a baker design my book imagery onto their bread with flour. 🟩 See my characters made into nail polish art. 🟩 See someone handpaint my characters onto the edges of their editions. 🟩 See someone make jewelry inspired by the series/universe. #booksky

Surround yourself with people who enjoy a mug of chocolate marshmallow rum and warm pastries while hand-painting the edges of new books mid snow storm.

Probably some of my favorite past recipes and food aesthetics.

For anyone unaware that we are currently living in a Kakistocracy, it means we’re under the rule of the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous members of society.

This face off was a vibe.

We need more of this.

For 3 years, I wrote nonstop and sold the rights to 12 novels. Over the next 6 years, I held jobs with strict hours, but wrote 9 books in my free time, all over 100k - 230k words. Most of them (and probably all of my screenplays) will be forever shelved. But I’m really hoping 2025 is my year. ♥️

This and nothing else.

This is the prettiest thing I’ve seen today and I thought you should see it too.

Every once in a while, I remember that my sister’s friends refer to me as the “sword sister” in casual conversation. To be loved is to be known, I suppose. #booksky

I require a castle with a wall dedicated to these mirrors. #art #booksky

AOC: I don’t celebrate RAPISTS, so no, I’m not going to the inauguration tomorrow

#booktok #quote

Anyways here are some of my goals as an author. 🟩 Be traditionally published. 🟩 See a video of someone bedazzling my books. ✅ See someone cosplay my characters. ✅ Write more than 1,000,000 words. ✅ Sell off old titles. 🟩 See a video of someone cooking/baking the foods from my books. #booksky

I get so excited when I’m watching a show and realize that the writers allowed the lead actor to use their real name for the main character.

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

Books and any creation of the written word are inherently political. Living in a part of the world where women and lower class individuals are allowed access to education (to string any words together at all) is a political act. People seem to forget that. #booksky

All we need is a domed observatory that has a hanging net draped in soft blankets, brass telescopes nearby, a stack of talking books, and a web of stars shining through cool-toned aurora lights. #booksky

Massive childhood inspirations for my work as an adult. What books or movies inspired you to create or laid the foundation for new ideas? #booksky

“The human eye evolved to see What we need to survive, not what’s actually there.” Dr. Robert Miller’s theory was so eerie and provoking, I think about it constantly.

Nobody has ever dropped a more fire comeback than, “The bar is so low it’s a tripping hazard in hell, and yet here you are limbo dancing with the devil.”

For Christmas this year, I’ll order one castle with a Beauty and the Beast Library and a dramatic replica of the staircase from the Paris Opera House. Thanks, Santa. #holiday #booksky

Happy Feet 🐾 #dogs

First batch of whimsical Christmas cookies. #baking

The first full book I ever wrote was when I was 11 about a magical quilt with embroidered animals that personified when moonlight touched it. #booksky

A coworker asked me what kind of movies I like. Naturally I forgot every movie ever created. My hesitation prompted them to ask if I could name any movie I’d ever watched in my entire life & all I could come up with was a 90’s film about kids who hold a criminal hostage in their treehouse.

How is it possible that no one knows what I’m talking about when I refer to the American treasure that is Ociee Nash?

Vintage accessories are an art form.

My favorite birds will always be rosefinches and hummingbirds. #nature #animals

Anyways, the FULL saying is, “Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.” #booksky

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a woman in possession of a bookish dating app, must program it to pay tribute to Jane Austen. #booksky #art

I 🫶🏻 y’all, but you’ll never know the 26+ novels I wrote on fiction sites as a teenager, or the cover shop where I made free art for other writers, or the 2 million people who followed thinking I was an adult, or the girl who said she was my biggest fan when I was 17 & prompted me to delete it all.

I know The Hunger Games hates to see me coming. A masterpiece. #spotifywrapped #booksky
