It's honestly one of my all-time favorites. Between the music, the topic, and the sheer skill of the actors playing so many roles at once... I love everything about it.

Saw Come From Away at the local theatre tonight. Second time seeing it on stage and yep, it still makes me cry multiple times. SUCH a good show.

The feeling of holding a physical copy of your book for the first time never gets old. ARCs are here, and I'm filled with joy! Thank you for this stunning cover art @laurenrayesnow.bsky.social, for believing in our story @notapipe.bsky.social, and for being the best coauthor @jeshonard.bsky.social.

Article. Sometimes I feel like the only human left who immediately nopes out of video content.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

If you preorder Undeniable, let me know! We're trying to get to at least 100 known preorders before the October 28th release date.

➡️ The sequel, Undeniable, is OFFICIALLY available for preorder. As Bridget navigates her new world, she has to figure out if she's capable of letting go, even when faced with unimaginable loss. Meanwhile, something dark lurks in the mind of her loved ones.
