The book is A FEATHER SO BLACK ☘️

I’m getting near the end of the first draft of the final book in the Fair Folk trilogy and starting to feel all the feelings! I can’t share much about the book yet since Book 2 isn’t even out yet, BUT for all my internet sleuths I hid 3 Easter eggs about it in this reel 👀 can you guess what they are?

Here’s your semi-annual reminder that I wrote a YA duology called AMBER & DUSK and you should look for it if you like:

👑 royalty-core
👑 ambitious heroines
👑 illusion magic
👑 a Draco Malfoy-coded LI
👑 scheming and political intrigue
👑 bitchiness and ballgowns

Our first trade review for A CROWN SO SILVER has gone to print and I’m glad to say @pwpics had overwhelmingly positive things to say about it!

Anyway, who else would buy a tote bag or hat that said “fairy dust and Freudian mating rituals”? No? Just me? 😅

Had such a fun time at the inaugural @nhbookfestival! It was a gloriously warm and sunny day in Concord, the perfect afternoon for a book festival. So enjoyed my panel with @markcecilauthor, @_mtanderson and @anndavilacardinal! A special thanks to @karaqwrites for driving and being my book fest buddy and taking my picture from the front row like a cool mom.

Subtitled, “what the fück am I supposed to do with my hands?”

I can’t believe A CROWN SO SILVER comes out in less than 4 months! How?!? Now that the book has been edited, proofread, and polished I’m starting to feel SO excited about January and sharing this next chapter of Fia’s story with you all! I’ve got lots of fun things to share over the next few months, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, what are you most looking forward to about Book 2?

Life lately || CW: health struggles

For me, social media represents a constant struggle between authenticity and curation. I am an intensely private person, yet by virtue of this career that I love, I am forced to represent and promote my books by way of sharing at least some small element of my personal life. I adore engaging with readers and other industry professionals, yet struggle with how much or how often I am willing to be perceived.

Here’s a glimpse behind the curtain. It’s okay to scroll away.

In April, I started getting headaches. Writing became a challenge—words wouldn’t come. Sitting at my desk stopped being an option—I started getting home from dropping my daughter off at school and climbing back into bed with my laptop. It wasn’t normal, but it was fine. I was probably fine.

Abruptly, in June, the headaches got way worse. I hesitate to say debilitating because I was still able to be mostly functional, but let’s just say my default orientation became horizontal. I mostly stopped writing—I couldn’t find my words. I started looking for neurologists who weren’t booked out for 18 months.

Several appointments and a battery of tests later, I was diagnosed with a CSF leak. The incidence in the US is just 5 in 100,000–super rare. They still don’t know how it happened or even where it was, but somehow a small tear somewhere along my spine started leaking cervical spinal fluid. My brain was literally sagging against the inside of my skull, causing the migraines, the brain fog, the tinnitus, everything.

(Cont’d in comments)

A FEATHER SO BLACK is deeply rooted in the rhythms of nature and the changing of the seasons. In fact, I might go so far as to say it’s a summer romance? Maybe? LOL

A FEATHER SO BLACK is a Celtic-inspired fantasy romance Swan Lake reimagining! Rooted in mythology and brimming with lyrical storytelling, rich botanical magic, and steamy romance, it’s a perfect early summer read ☀️
