Release day!!! 🥳 This is a dream I’ve had since I was ten years old, or even younger. My book is not just a document on my computer, but a finished product that’s actually for sale. That’s truly incredible to me. I’m so grateful to everyone who’s preordered it, read it, & posted about it.

I’ve got 20 signed copies of my debut novel ALL OUR TOMORROWS that I’d love to send out into the world.

Each copy is wrapped by hand and comes with three character art bookmarks + a bonus cover art bookmark.

Limited to 20 — once they’re gone, that’s it. Link in bio to grab one 💌💗 US only, sorry!
