February Reads! March reads will be way less since I got an edit letter yesterday. One of my fav reads this month was the unpublished journal of a man who walked the Camino and shared with me by his daughter, a librarian who sponsored me for a school visit. Happy reading! #readingwrapup

Been so busy lately getting to work on pages of new things that I love but wanted to be sure to say that publishing is rarely overnight success and a lot of working your ass off. Be proud of yourself no matter where you’re at. You’re doing the thing, boo, and are amazing 💛

🔥🔥🐻 NEW BOOK 🐻🔥🔥 I’m in my thriller era!! And I’ve got to say—at this particular cultural moment—sinking my teeth into a book where abusive men literally get eaten by bears has been cathartic AF. (Memes by billymurphyart on insta)

Yikes I think Ava is going to get fired on Abbott Elementary in the season finale with the way they are building up this plot of them getting school resources behind the district’s back 😭

Authors, publishers, and other bookish folks! I come to you with a specific ask for the book drive that I hope you will share widely. Essentially, I need specific books to meet the needs of teachers/families who lost their books in the LA wildfires. 🙏 Here is that list: tinyurl.com/LAFireBookDr...

✨COVER REVEAL TIME✨ I never imagined I would be releasing the cover of a book that is very in tune with what is going on in the world right now, but here we are. I started writing CHLOE VEGA AND THE AGENTS OF MAGIC in 2018 when immigrant families were being separated at the border... (1/4).

You know times like these remind me of that one quote Kaz Brekker made in Six of Crows: “I’m a business man. No more, no less.” “You’re a thief, Kaz.” “Isn’t that what I just said?” It struck me when I read it and it's living rent free in my mind atm

the dream agent, publisher, whatever is the person or company that is a champion for you and your career, period, and often you won't know that till you're working with them so don't put them on a pedestal before they've even shown you their worth
