It's PUB DAY 😍
After over 8 years of working on The Nightshade, she's finally here and real and available to readers. It's a wild feeling to be sharing my baby with y'all, and I'm at a loss for words that it's really happening. ❤️

So my grandfather, Dada, was part of my inspiration for The Nightshade. I wanted to connect with him and my Indian culture. Happy birthday, Dada! Love and miss you! 🖋️📖💰

I've been ruminating on the conflict for my sequel for awhile and how the city is affected by the events in the first book.
Finally sitting down to continue to hash it out! 🖋️📖💰
