I’m so excited. My hair should be here on Monday. Say goodbye to the beanies. Yall ain’t ready for Izzy at full strength. 💜💜💜

I am extremely high maintenance and get depressed very easily. What’s not to love?

Look, I know you have severe depression, anxiety, dysphoria and dysmorphia but if you could you act like you don’t that would be great for me.

I knew while growing up that life was going to be difficult. I just didn’t know I was going to be such a complete failure.

The best advice I can give you is never go bird watching with your mouth open.

I will not submit to someone’s intolerance.

I feel like my stories go insanely fast. Like a mom who’s late for her flight and dragging her kid through an airport. “Let’s go. Come on. No, don’t look at that. Let’s fucking go.”

I’d rather be empathetic than an asshole.

I miss smoking clove cigarettes

This will be the first time in over 10 years that miss Texas Frightmare Weekend.

I am a huge fan of context clues.

The squirrels in my yard are at war. These fucking Tejas squirrels too, man.

I’m too delicate for threads.

I am someone who craves constant validation.

For some reason, there are times when I think I died on November 18th 2022.

I did that cool office thing where you cry at your desk for fifteeen minutes and then immediately go back to work.

I’m too sensitive for Goodreads reviews.

Justice? In this economy?

You are more beautiful than the judgments of other people.

Some people don’t have the luxury of choice.

Transitioning is a lonely process.

You know you’re a real author when Brian Keene calls your book “Transformative” and then see someone rate that same book 2 stars on Goodreads. 😂😂😂

It’s shot day and I still hate needles

25 paperback copies of Died were ordered. 7 remain. All are signed and numbered. 🔗 N B1o. Outside of the US? Send me a DM.

Actually, I communicate better in GIF. I hope that’s okay. 😬

How many calories can I burn from sorrowful weeping?

For real. Not Here Not Gone by BlackWater HolyLight is the best album released this year. Every song a banger.

My chest hurts. Today is for panic attacks.

Driving four hours in the rain today across the great state of Tejas. Stay safe, friends.

New York Times best selling author and two time Bram Stoker Award winner, Brian Keene, talks about my book in his new blog. This is all so surreal in the best way possible.

I feel so grateful for @briankeene.bsky.social dedicating his time and space on his social media and newsletter for Died. Go subscribe if you’re not already and see all the great things he said about my book.

My pal @laurelhightower.bsky.social recommended DIED by @izzyvon.bsky.social (forthcoming). Best zombie novel I've read in a long time. Groundbreaking, transformative, and so far beyond the old tropes that it ends up inventing something exciting and brand new. My full review in Sunday's newsletter.

Does anyone else have a word doc or spreadsheet detailing all the horrible shit you say to yourself so you can tell your therapist?

4/28/26 Still looking for e-arc readers. DM if interested. 🩸📚

I have no idea what I’m doing.

Bogus

Happy 2 year anniversary to my debut novel, ‘A Dandy Among the Dead’. Writing this saucy bitch was a life changer.

I’m not going to be lectured about morality from people who voted for a child rapist 3 times.

I have been an absolute fucking mess lately. Taking a few days off from working on the book. Hitting too many fucking nerves.
