Bestselling, award-winning author (she/her) 📚 YOU'RE OVERTHINKING THIS (11.19.26) 📚 ALL YOUR TWISTED SECRETS 📚 UNDER THE SURFACE 📚 LYING IN THE DEEP 📚 ... and book marketing consultant!
Can't believe I'm just 7 orders away from hitting my goal for the month for this book's relaunch. Thank you SO MUCH everyone who's ordered a copy or downloaded through KU. WE'RE SO CLOSE I'M CRYING
I just got my proof copies of a book I traditionally published years ago but got the rights back, revised it, got a new cover, republished it myself, and HERE IT IS! MY BOOK BABY IS BACK IN MY HANDS (literally) AND SHE’S STUNNING. 😭
For YEARS I was crushed my book was out of print, never got a paperback, and never got ebook discounts. My story was a hostage. Then Taylor Swift got her masters back and inspired me to fight for my book rights. AND I GOT THEM. AND RELAUNCHED IT. NOW IT’S FULLY MINE (AND YOURS) 😭😭😭
I fought for years to get the rights back to my book baby and I just launched it as a new edition AND IT’S ALREADY A NUMBER ONE NEW RELEASE OH MY GOD????????AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HEY SO THIS HAPPENED AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *flails*
✨COVER REVEAL✨ AHHHH HERE IT IS! The cover of my steamy snowbound thriller you’ll be OBSESSED with if you’re a Freida McFadden fan who wants 🌶️🌶️ with your twists!
Forgot to post writing updates the past couple of days but THE WORDS CONTINUE TO WORD!
HEY FELLOW MASS EFFECT NERDS if you want to read a space opera book like Mass Effect that will make you sob ugly tears at the end THIS IS IT. THIS IS THE BOOK TO GIVE YOU THAT FEELING I’M NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY JOKING READ IT NOW
Almost forgot to post my accountability screenshot today BUT THESE 1,373 NEW WORDS EXIST
Now that I've finished the outline for my next book (9k words of an outline!) it's time to draft, full steam ahead. HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LOOK HOW PRETTY WE ARE!!! CAN WE PLEASE TAKE BETTER CARE OF US? PLEASE?????
Just spreading the word because I just got this email. This is a very convincing scam/phishing attempt that will come directly from friends who already fell for it, and will try to get you to "sign in" to Gmail to accept the invitation. PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
FINALLY was able to log into The Game Awards site to vote for Expedition 33. I was about to RIOT if I couldn't. If it doesn't win both Game of the Year and Best Score & Music I WILL STILL RIOT. This game should freaking SWEEP. @expedition33.bsky.social GOOD LUCK!
Just found out the Polish publisher of my book Under the Surface is sending influencers early copies IN BOXES OF ACTUAL DIRT TO REPRESENT HOW THE CHARACTERS ARE MISSING UNDERGROUND IN THE PARIS CATACOMBS
Iiiiiiit’s my birthday! In some ways this year was rough, BUT I wrote a new novel, got to see JAPAN, and started a business that’s already generating steady income. So hey, not too shabby! And next year should be interesting… 🤐😜
This Polish bookstagrammer took the book I wrote (translated!) about four teens who go missing in the Paris Catacombs and COSPLAYED AS THE CHARACTERS IN THE CATACOMBS!!! PEAK AUTHOR MOMENT, I AM DECEASED THIS IS MY GHOST 👻
