I’m putting a street team together for my queer small press debut coming out March 10! It’s A YA contemporary fantasy that’s kinda like if ERAGON took place in the modern day, but instead of a boy finding a dragon, a girl finds out she is a dragon. Sign up here: forms.gle/udyPGSzVUYZP...

I adored IN THE NAME OF HONOR! IN THE NAME OF PRIDE is an absolutely perfect sequel!! Happy book birthday @collinsauthors.bsky.social!!!

I’d be a dragon right now if I could. But alas. The curse.

because sometimes it's just really important everyone sees this art again

when I was in high school, I was feeling chased-by-dragons levels of stress from all the AP classes and colorguard and friend drama. disappointingly, there were NO ACTUAL DRAGONS. So I wrote a book about a girl who fought dragons in high school. And also could turn into a dragon. and it was DOPE.

I forgot to post it here but got my first Netgalley review the other day and the reviewer posted separately on tumblr and made FANART and I will never be normal again 🥹😭😭😭 done by @ forestcowboi on Instagram (shared with permission)

upcoming: queer cozy horror THE LORD OF THE WOOD (July 2026) recent: queer cozy fantasy THE KEEPER OF LONELY SPIRITS (March 2025) oh dear, jump scare of my face. well anyway #WeeknightWriters www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

My debut comes out in March and is currently available to request on Netgalley! It’s a YA contemporary fantasy with queer and disability rep and dragons www.netgalley.com/catalog/?tex... And here’s more info: inkedingray.com/books/child-...

I don't use AI to write. I do what everyone else does: I hack off chunks of my soul, give them names, breathe life into them, and then put them in situations until I cry. And then I make my friends read it so they cry too

The digital boxed set is out now! Check out the trilogy on Amazon! www.amazon.com/dp/B0G8MGZ5B4

Child of the Dragon is already on page THREE of most requested Teens & YA and page FOUR of the LGBTQIAP+ category on Netgalley, and I already got back a really nice review and 🥹🥹🥹 thank you all for the support!!!

I was hoping to get 200 goodreads adds for Child of the Dragon by Christmas, and, with the GR stats still being broken, it's hard to tell how close I got, but I think I'm ~25-ish adds away?? Which is probably too much to ask for on Christmas Eve, but if anyone wants to help me get a little closer 👀

ack!! Child of the Dragon is finally on Netgalley!!!!!! and my publisher has their own ARC sign ups with a very limited run of physical ARCs available to request + normal eARCs if you'd rather not use Netgalley I've been so excited for this and I'm a lil emotional but also terrified out of my mind 😅

They put my sister in the snow globe on a Thursday. Not secretly, nor illegally. It arrived already approved, polished, and explained to us as a necessary compromise. We put it in the living room, clear and shining, centre-stage so she wouldn’t feel ignored. (1/16)

getting a book ready for publication is just a long process of finding out new grammar rules you never even knew existed. At this point, I don't think I even know what words are.

I need everyone to understand that if you ever see me willingly on purpose using gen AI, assume I am a demon and must be destroyed.

New profile picture! Still me!!

COVER REVEAL DAY!! Huge thank you to @frostbitestudios.bsky.social for this insanely gorgeous cover, to @featherfully.bsky.social for making it happen, and @keiralekseii.bsky.social for making my dreams come true!

Well, the rabbit's out of the PM bag! I have a lot of thoughts on what it means at last to be fulfilling the dream I've nurtured since I was 7 years old, but for right now I'm afraid all I have for you is the mental image of me flapping in a circle while I shout, I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!

I don’t WANT to work today. I want to talk about DRAGONS

That said, books are still gonna get banned after banned books week, so if you didn’t get around to contacting your legislators last week you can still do it this week, and next, etc. Apparently our reps won’t do their jobs unless we push them, so let’s keep pushing them to protect our rights.

We've got a website! And a Linktree! (And something else coming soon 👀) phenomena-press.com linktr.ee/phenomenapress #writesky #booksky #writingcommunity 📚🌈💙📚🪐
