Debut novel coming out this year! More details to follow ✨

News before the end of the month? 👀 #booksky

This was absolutely excellent. What a start to 2025 reading streak. Cooper was one of the dreamiest LIs in a long while. I cried so much at the end but loved every minute. Highly, highly recommend. So charming, original, funny and warm. Mr Yoon 😭🩷🫶🏻

*taps mic* I FINISHED EDITS! 😭 I stopped being proud of this book last year. It felt like a story I was almost able to tell, but not quite. Like it had legs but didn't know how to run. These neck-breaking edits made me fall back in love with my OG characters.

Saturday snippet 👀 now I'm off to my editing cave. We're at 65k. Ambitious goal is to finish by Monday 🫣

Editing task: "let's extend this 🥵 scene by half a page or a full page." Me: *challenge accepted* Ends up with an almost 3k chapter and much LONGER scene than asked for. Why do I have no chill lol

Me to my husband, about my edits: "I hit midpoint! Hopefully things will get smoother now and there won't be so many new scenes." My husband: "What do you mean? It's your book. You decide if you put in new scenes." "Don't be silly. My characters decide these things."

I realised I my characters push each other against the walls a lot when things heat up. I guess we all have our own "thing"...

Would you read a book with these vibes? If the answer is "hell yes!" or "YES!", then stay tuned for exciting news coming soon ✨

This year, I signed with an agent & got vague publishing news. But you know what I'm most proud of? Writing a book out of my comfort zone and finding exactly where I want to go creatively 🩷 And not giving up. That's probably the most important one.

I got an absolute pleasure of alpha reading/CP this book and it's just wonderful - you'll in for such a treat one day soon hopefully 🥺🫶🏻🔥

Finished WHO COULD STAY by @kellylbeck.bsky.social and damn it, did I cry 😭 Gorgeous 🥺

New book baby 🥺 I'll have to abandon you soon, darling. But I'll be back 🥺 Set a very chill deadline of November 1 for this one 🤠

Here we go again...

Struggling to be on all SM apps while pre-exam revision is ramping up. Will be back with news hopefully soon 👀🤞🏻 In the meantime, enjoying reading & spending less time on my phone in general. Currently reading & loving: The Ex Vows by Jessica Joyce & Who Could Stay by @kellylbeck.bsky.social 🩷

And before someone asks why I hired a dev editor when I have an agent - I fully expected to query this book in 2025 & booked it before signing with an agent. But it worked out perfectly, super happy 🩷

I'm going to give another shout out to @rebeccaacarter.bsky.social because I sent off HUS to my agent and I'm so proud of this book now - which wasn't the case before Becca working on dev edits for it. She pushed me to make this story the best version of itself and just really grateful 🥺🫶🏻

The new episodes of Outlander are KILLING me. So bloody amazing - after a fresh rewatch and rather stilted part 1 of this season, ep 9 & 10 are keeping me at the edge of my seat 🔥

It was intense editing 😂 not sure if developmental was harder or the trimming - or when I had to trim enough to expand the ending. But! Victory over the manuscript tastes sweet (for the time-being)

I DID IT! 😭🫶🏻 I know authors probably shouldn't have favourites but this book pushed me out of my comfort zone, especially during editing. It is my favourite - though if you ask me in 6 months, you're likely going to get a different answer 🙈 But for now, bye bye book 🥺🩷

Five chapters 👀

Fifteen chapters left to edit before I push this book off my plate... Making space for secret stuff 👀

If you're looking for a developmental editor, you can't go wrong with @rebeccaacarter.bsky.social. Her thorough report on HUS blew me away. This book is so special to me & took me a bit to choose who I wanted to work with on dev edits but I'm really glad it was her; she got my vision for it :) 🫶🏻

🥨 HEARTLESS HUNTER X MY LADY JANE X 1518 STRASBOURG DANCING PLAGUE 🥨 A grumpy witch & a sassy thief fight & flirt their way to a necklace, only to find it around the neck of an evil inquisitor who will stop at nothing to free his god from hell—including unleashing a dancing plague on the city 💃

Two surgeons, who also happen to be powerful witches, put everything on the line to save themselves while being crazy at & for each other.

That "grumpy mercenary" has stolen my heart 🔥😍

Another day, another HUS snippet 👀

Post a quote from your book you could see on book merch 🌿✨🖤 #writingcommunity

I'm in love with this book. And the main man from it 👀🔥🥵

Another day, another HUS snippet #BookSky

I'll share a tiny snippet of HUS every day as I'm wrapping up edits to send it to my agent. They'll all be small, spoiler free & not in order. First up! #Booksky

When your agent tells you the word count she wants the book at & you say "challenge accepted"

My motto really should be "I cry a lot but I'm so productive".

Why did no one tell me these were so... so...?! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

This is where we're at after developmental edits so far... Now to trim 😫

Saw this elsewhere and it felt 💯💯 Happy Sunday, friends! May the creative juices be flowing and your day filled with nothing but good work and good luck! 🍀

I like term novelist - it’s sexy and dangerous. Like being a duelist. Obviously, it’s mostly crying and sitting down, but still.

Finished devouring this yesterday and I was speechless. My heart literally tumbled out of my chest. Firmly in the top 2024. I'm not sure why I do it to myself and read unfinished series... 😂🤦🏻‍♀️. Can't wait for book 2.

I have no chill. Normal people take timr with their edits. Me? If I didn't have classes in the morning, I'd stay up all night 💀

#MSWL I'm closed to queries at the moment, BUT...I will ALWAYS be open to INDIGENOUS VOICES. This is a special passion of mine, yet I don't have a single Native American author or story. If this describes you/your project, PLEASE REACH OUT! I will open a link for any Indigenous creator (fiction).

I FINISHED WRITING MY HISTORICAL ROMANTASY!!! 😭 What a wild ride. It started as a book to distract myself from querying and waiting for some exciting news (which I hope to share soon!). But it ended wholly capturing my heart and mind. This book is the slow burn historical romantasy of my dreams.

People have spoken 😂👀

Today's progress 🔥 A wrist, elbow & shoulder issue stopping me? Nah.

I'm at just over 94k in my veeeeeery slow burn historical romantasy and they finally kiss - please clap 😂🙈 (And pray for the future readers 🙈💀)

Look at them 😍

Determined to finish this week 🕯️
