Looking For Love in All the Haunted Places is OUT NOW!
now available for purchase Dear Lucky (and Rebel and Maverick), We made it. Today’s the day: LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE HAUNTED PLACES is out in the US and the UK! From the seed of an idea born from a disastrous draft to a February fever dream writing marathon, yours was the book of my heart the entire time. It’s an examination of being alone in the world and how that differs from the nature…

A Haunted Giveaway!
If you’re not familiar with the publishing world, galleys are uncorrected proofs of an upcoming release. Some titles get physical copies that are then distributed to booksellers, librarians, educators, influencers, etc. by mail to generate early hype and interest in the title. Looking for Love in All the Haunted Places did not receive those, which was a bit of a bummer. I feel like I’m running to…

JANUARY 2024 // MONTHLY WRAP UP
My year began with almost no writing, some surprises, and a lot of doubt. Monthly Stats: 1869 words drafted 0 words / 0 pages revised 0 projects submitted Some time ago, during an admittedly overdramatic moment, I was reflecting and lamenting over my author journey. I’ve had a pretty backwards career thus far—usually the process is finishing a manuscript, querying and signing with an agent,…

AUTUMN 2023 // WRAP UP

March 2023 // Monthly Wrap Up
Look, I’m going to be honest with you: I don’t remember most of March but here we are at the beginning of April trying to make this work. Monthly Stats: 11744 words drafted 45165 words revised 2 projects submitted March was the month where I received three edit letters in two weeks, all for different projects and I just… I don’t understand how this overlap happened. I almost started crying…

A Regimented Chaotic Mess // My (Current) Writing Process
As I was writing my February monthly wrap-up, I realized my writing process would fare better as a standalone post! I’ve always done some form of this, but it’s so refined now it’s kind of ridiculous. My drafting process has always been a regimented chaotic mess. Writing is rewriting and I stand by that. Draft 1 is where I get the story out of my head, one 90 minute sprint at a time. I use my…

February 2023 // Monthly Wrap-Up
It’s early. I’ve been up for hours. It’s time to put a bow on February. Monthly Stats: 30439 words drafted 7416 words revised* 1 project submitted *It should be way more than this. I got so deep into revisions I stopped accurately tracking my progress. February was a month of obsession. Fitting, I suppose, with Valentine’s Day and all that. On January 16th, I submitted Draft 2 of [REDACTED…

January 2023 // Monthly Wrap-Up
It’s February 1, 2023. I have a massive headache. My edits are waiting. I probably shouldn’t be staring at a screen. And yet here I am. Completing my monthly wrap-up because I promised myself I’d try to document my life/memories/career more. I don’t have a format or anything for this yet, so please excuse the incoming run-on sentences and rambling vibe. Monthly Stats 43,187 words…
