@roselynclarke_ @AnnikaJ123 @danibcessna @carlysj629 @lisamajeska @ajvanbelle @jennifersknox @LeslieLarryDC @BytheseaCaro @wellmelsbells @robwhart I’m so excited, so grateful, so ready. If you like the sound of this, come find me in my new haunts - mostly Instagram, occasionally TikTok, more reliably on Substack. ✌️

@roselynclarke_ @AnnikaJ123 @danibcessna @carlysj629 @lisamajeska @ajvanbelle @jennifersknox @LeslieLarryDC @BytheseaCaro I’m so grateful to @wellmelsbells for championing this book (and the others that died lol) and finding it the right home with Tricia 💜And I know I wouldn’t be here without @robwhart, my Pitch Wars 2020 mentor.

@Phillips_AM I feel similarly horrified about pancakes dipped in ketchup like that’s genuinely sociopathic right

I truly can’t describe how THRILLED I am for this news. We met querying and have been plugging away in the writing trenches together ever since 😘 NOW SHE’S DEAD is so so so good y’all. It’s sharp and twisty and fun and will keep you guessing and questioning until the last page.

@AndreaGStewart Oh I am OBSESSED with this cover

This is another book I finished recently--devastating, poignant, examining those caught in the violent ambitions of people in power with gentleness and ruthless honesty. Also, just so beautifully written? And so much YEARNING???

@Phillips_AM @mcsweeneys I loved your piece Alice!

@DianaUrban @PenguinTeen Omg this sounds AMAZING a I looooveee the Paris Catacombs!!

SO THRILLED to share ALL THE FIGHTING PARTS has been selected for the Sept/Oct Kids’ Indie Next List! 🥳📚✨ It makes me so happy to see ATFP getting love from indie bookstores. This is really special to me & I cannot say thank you, enough. ❤️ Preorder: bookshop.org/p/books/all-th…

@laurenbajek I read so much poetry in college and nothing since I feel like I don’t know where to begin again!

It's great to see Sadé has been longlisted! 🥰 @HachetteKids

@Danaiwrites All T Kingfisher

If I tell you, "adult fantasy with dark humor" what's a book that comes to mind?

@Dreamertide Oooooof my sympathies!!! Good luck!!

@JenniferMandula I hope so. This kid averages 30 minutes or less per nap and I really hope she can start stringing some longer naps together after this!

Sleep training will be the death of me.

@ajvanbelle I just got this from the library!
