The cover is out for my sequel novella, Doors & Windows☀️

If you haven’t read the first book yet, and you vibe with:

🤍 Angst with a HEA
🤍 Survivor stories
🤍 Gentle slowburns
🤍 Being 🌈 with religious trauma

You might just love Liam & Jonah’s story :)

Someone said they wanted to see more faces behind the books on book accounts. I assume that went for authors, too. So as Taylor Swift once said, This Is Me Trying.

Finally hung my vintage Chicago poster that I bought as a keepsake from the launch of my debut novel (which takes place in Chicago).

When the book isn’t “touch him & die,” but “touch him & I die inside.”

Because they are both too young and ill-equipped against the horrors life has dealt them.

I posted a commissioned piece from my book on tiktok, and there are 100 comments saying “I thought this was x & y!” LIKE OK I GET IT. I love Neil Josten as much as the next guy, but dude didn’t invent having red hair 💀
