17 is hard, but when you're set to take over presidency from your father, survive a ☠️ attempt, are betrayed by the two you love & learn your role is to maintain peace by keeping 200yo lies & manipulating the public or start the biggest war in centuries, 17 is REALLY hard.

HAPPY PLACE + EVERY SUMMER AFTER = NONE OF THIS WAS REAL

If you love someone, let them go and if they come back for your sister's wedding, then nothing can possibly go wrong.

She broke his heart years ago. She wants him back. He doesn’t trust her. But should she even trust him?

Oh hi I haven't checked in in awhile!

I had to take some time away from writing and querying to give myself a much-needed break. But I'm planning to dive back in later this week because if I don't query the book I'll never get an agent 🙃
January 21, 2025 at 2:39 AM
I always forget how much energy it takes to send queries until I send a batch out ✨ but at least they're out there!

It's my birthday! I am so grateful to have had another year of reading, writing, listening to music, and having adventures with my husband and friends 🫶

I bought the surprise piano work jacket. Don't even care that it doesn't seem like it'll be that warm. I love it.

At the beginning of the year I told myself I'd have a literary agent before I turned 30. Now I turn 30 Friday and I'm not even close 😅
