Happy to announce my newest book THE WEIGHT OF THE STARS! Out this coming Fall on October 30th! A WLW slow-burn romance set in the same town as THE WICKER KING.

Also! Alexandria (the love interest of the MC) is the girl on the cover. The MC is a tall, ripped butch girl who physically fights people who disrespect girls so get ready for tHAT.

Honestly

How to Make A Wish by Ashley Herring Blake deserves all the praise. It is one of my favorite books of all time and needs a fandom if its own.

I am know I am late to this, but trans women are women.

Trans men are men.

Thank you and good day.

Happy Pride Month

 I’m bisexual. It’s a part of me that took some time to love. I want people to know it is okay to not be okay with yourself. It is okay if you are. It is okay if you are straight, gay, trans, bisexual, or ace. It’s okay to be who you are. 

I want to tell that confused girl that it is okay to be who you are. I love you all.

I know this is late but I want to clear some things up

Trans men are men.

Trans women are women. 

Everyone is beautiful.

You imagine a world where the two of you can go out to dinner on a Saturday night, and no one thinks twice about it. It makes you want to cry, the simplicity of it. The smallness of it. You have worked so hard for a life so grand. And now all you want are the smallest freedoms. The daily peace of loving plainly.

Wylan Van Eck & Jesper Fahey: fav moments from Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom

“Nina might not be able to put you back, you know. Not without another dose of parem. You could be stuck like this.” “Why does it matter?” “I don’t know!” Jesper said angrily. “Maybe I liked your stupid face.”

INEJ GHAFA

Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary.
