SURPRISE!!! I’m writing a middle grade book!!!!

The first book I ever read was middle grade (The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman), and writing in that age category has always been a goal of mine. I’ve also always wanted to write a magic school book (fun fact, my first ever completed manuscript was about a magic school!), so I have several author dreams coming true with this deal 💙

Some things you can expect from THE LAST HOPE SCHOOL FOR MAGICAL DELINQUENTS:

😈 kids who make trouble and have fun doing it
🏡 a magical mansion with forbidden rooms and secret passages
👫 found family
🤐 friends who will help you bury the body (not literally, of course…)

I think especially now, when the world is dark, we turn to books for hope and laughter and escape, and I’ve poured all of that into this story, and I cannot wait to share it with you! 💙

Next YA Project!

I am so so thrilled to announce my next YA fantasy project, BONESMITH! ☠️

Get ready for another big, epic world, except this time we’re going DARKER. I’m still writing this book (right now, in fact) but here are some things you’ll find in it:

💔 enemies-to-lovers romance
💀 bone and necromancy-adjacent magic
👻 ghosts! haunted forests made of bones! walking undead!
❄️ Jon Snow at the Wall vibes, if Jon was a ghost-fighting warrior and the wall protected the world from ghosts
⚔️ a bold, slightly arrogant heroine in the vein of Rose Hathaway or Celaena Sardothien

I hope those of you who have enjoyed COF will follow me somewhere new, and though BONESMITH doesn’t come out until 2023, I promise it will be worth the wait!
