What to expect from GENERATION ZOMBIE, my 86K YA thriller/horror:

😬 Chronically anxious main character
🤬 Toxic father-daughter relationship
🕵️‍♀️ Journalist enemies to lovers
💀 Armageddon-causing cult
📲 Social commentary like BLACK MIRROR

A composite image featuring two side-by-side graphics: a TikTok “For You” page on the left and an Instagram profile page on the right. Both graphics feature imagery designed to evoke the mood of YA thriller novel GENERATION ZOMBIE: shadowy figures trying to break down a door; a pile of newspapers; a disembodied hand on a pane of glass; and a phone showing a grid of various social media app icons.

From top left: a pile of newspapers with the word “classified” visible on one; a disembodied hand on a pane of glass; a young woman holding a phone; a young man staring at a phone with one hand on his cheek; an aerial shot of the Empire State Building with a red sky; a crowd of people; a phone screen showing a grid of social media app icons; a dark silhouette with an arm raised; and a large stack of newspapers.

✨ My 66 reads of 2024! ✨

I had the privilege of reading SO many incredible books this past year. I also read more in a single year than ever before. I consider myself a slower reader, so I’m especially proud of the volume I got through in 2024.

Here’s to many more fantastic reads in 2025! 📚
