Apparently if you write books, you're supposed to sometimes remind people that you write books. (I write books.)
If you like twisty, fantastic tales with everything from serial killers, to body horror, to epic discoveries, my SFF has got you covered!

I have no hesitation in saying that if you liked my books, you'll like this, especially if you wish I'd leaned harder into the "creepy murder mystery" and "trapped in a manor house full of awful people" aspects. A GAY & VERITABLE BANGER.
wheeee this weekend you can pre-order your next queer regency murder romantasy read at a discount! come for the kissing and smut and locked room murders, stay for the family trauma, banter and gay spoon jokes 🥰

Hey Australian friends! I have a random silly mystery I'm hoping you can help solve! My friend and amazing fellow author @samhawkewrites.bsky.social showed me this pic of the hardcover of THE LAST HOUR BETWEEN WORLDS she bought in a bookstore in Australia that's missing a certain something 😂 (1/?)

In covid iso isn’t how I’d choose to spend my bday. On the other hand, got a chance to read; flew through the superb The Gods Below by @andreagstewart.bsky.social - fun, incredibly inventive - some god tier worldbuilding (pun intended) - and a cast of characters you won’t get out of your head!

Apropos of absolutely nothing, I am just continuously screaming inside with how excited I am about this book!!!
Writing it just felt so fresh and good and exciting, and I think it'll give people the kind of fun-yet-intense page-turny escape that I love as a reader. I can't wait to share it!!!
