I’ll be giving out advance reader copies of The Ending you Deserve! andersonsbookshop.com/event/2026-0...

It is very important to have a good accountability partner as a writer. Mine is a cat. Meet Butter.

WARNING: The Ending You Deserve contains a cat who doesn’t like you. You can pre-order it and meet this adorable jerk for 25% off right now (also it’s a sapphic slow burn wrapped in a thriller if you’re not into cats) @barnesandnoble.com www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-ending...

I fear it is time. Time for you to preorder my book about lying, falling in love, and disastrous consequences. Is it funny? Yes. Does someone die? Maybe! You’ll never know if you don’t preorder this book and then sleep with it under your pillow. @barnesandnoble.com

Last week I read from Rabbit and Juliet at Lewis University! It was a great crowd, and the students asked amazing questions.

My explanation of a Carl Phillips poem. I await my teaching award.

Honestly, I don’t know how to describe this. We’ve got stick figures on either side of a star shaped scribble labeled war. Beneath war are the words “die.” one stick figure is unarmed and the words over him say “fuck it “and the other one is also unarmed and the words above him say “oh shit. Then the whole thing is circled, and there are some words that suggest that the differences between these situations don’t matter there’s also the word tune… Because sometimes beauty comes out of disaster.

Since the DOD is scrubbing women from its website, it's a great time to remember Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs), female engineering test pilots in WWII. Second from the right is Doris Burmeister Nathan, my husband's grandmother. She was a force.

Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs), were assigned as engineering test pilots, testing new aircraft and modifications. The airplane behind them is a North American Aviation B-25 Mitchell twin-engine medium bomber. From left to right, Dorothy Dodd Eppstein, Hellen Skjersaa Hansen, Doris Burmeister Nathan and Elizabeth V. Chadwick Dressler.

I HOPE MY BOOK TEACHES META'S AI TO BE QUEER AND VENGEFUL FFS. I'm livid. You should buy it while authors still exist. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/rabbit-jul...

My office is usually very tidy. I like to write in a clean space. So this should tell you something about what revising a novel is doing to my soul.

I have taken to decorating my planner with cute stickers and then writing dire words beside them. It feels right.

Not my most reading prolific year, but some great books in here. The Library of Mt Char was standout weirdo amazing, and The Will of The Many, the Bright Sword, the Tainted Cup, and The Ministry of Time were among my favorites. A few rereads as well.

We are nearing the end of the year, and I want to say thank you to everyone who has ordered Rabbit and Juliet (or read it at the library!). I'm grateful it made the Best Of 2024 for both Kirkus and School Library Journal, but the real success is having readers. www.harpercollins.com/products/rab...

Serious question: How do I Agatha All Along my life? Not the baby sacrificing part -- that seems icky -- but where do I find a long coat that swishes when I flounce off after chewing a scene to pieces? Also, any picks for developing a coven?
