ARCs for THE HANGING BONES are now available to request from Netgalley and Edelweiss!

A YA standalone dark fantasy, BONES is what happens when feminine rage combines with magical stag hunts and eldritch forest monsters … and no man is safe.

Did you know I actually have two books up for preorder and 25% off at Barnes and Noble right now? What Wakes the Bells comes out in paperback (with a cheeky little bonus chapter 👀) April 14, and The Hanging Bones releases May 12!

Also please enjoy my really bad but important photoshop.

BONES is about a young gamekeeper, the legendary stag hunt she enters to end a baron, and the ancient horror that rises from the depths of the forest. The spooky fairy tale and autumnal vibes are perfectly captured by this cover and I’m so glad I can yell about it now!

🖤🤍💜Happy Pride from a demi author and her demi heroine! 💜🤍🖤

Did you know that Mina’s coat on the book cover has the same colours as the ace flag? It’s one of my favourite details!

*keyboard smash* To say I’m honoured that Indigo has WHAT WAKES THE BELLS as one of its best YA books of the year so far is a massive understatement!

If you’ve been waiting for a price drop, you can get 20% off right now! And if you’re near Indigo Metrotown, there are still signed copies!

Had a fun time chatting with @zipitelle.bsky.social last week about sentient cities and gothic vibes!

You can find signed copies of THE MOONLIGHT BLADE and WHAT WAKES THE BELLS at Indigo Metrotown.

A few lucky browsers will also find the character art I tucked into the book.
