If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
Or if I missed your favorite artist recommendation, please shout them out in the comments!

Okay, I see authors asking for artist recommendations quite often, & as an author with a character art obsession for the past 6 or so years, I am here to help!

This is a kind of um... extensive(?) guide, (Please see notes on obsession & 6 years 😅) but hopefully it's helpful! (All handles are IG)

eeeep! Soooo close to 200 zon ratings! If you're looking for a dark YA epic fantasy that features a snarky cat, the rotting undead, and a side of sweet, slowburn rivals-to-lovers with a shadow boy, this is for you! (and ebooks are free!) #books

These Pokémon/book mashup posts are absolutely ridiculous. But I’m a nerd, and they make me smile, so I’m totally posting them. 🤣

I’ll just leave these here. Don’t mind me.

So the @writehive.bsky.social mentees have been announced, & I'm so incredibly honored to be @erinmscheuer.bsky.social's mentor this year on her addicting, heartfelt celeb romance, LOVE SONGS & OTHER LIES.

Basically, if you can't tell from the moodboard & mock cover I made, I'm obssessed. LET'S GO!

Well, my YA epic fantasy trilogy made it to 500 Goodreads ratings today — which obviously means it’s time for a celebratory dance around the kitchen. 🥳

(And if you’re looking for epic battles, sweet romance, the rotting undead, & a snarky cat, book 1 is free to download!)

Before and after walk. Do you think there’s a difference in her expression?
