I'm in a hurry this morning so I posted this and ran out of the house without double checking it.

WHY did I accidentally leave a font marker dead center on the cover?

Anyway let's all pretend it doesn't say "Blaka" bc you all like me and want to be nice to me

Happy New Year's Eve to all!

OPINION: The Chicago Public Library budget is under threat. Let’s remember what libraries do for us • The TRiiBE Cutting less than one day of the Chicago police would cover the $4.5M needed to ensure there are no cuts to library staffing and resources.

I wrote a mean letter on behalf of The Chicago Public Library because I care maximum that their budget might be getting slashed.

Give it a gander if you give a fuck about public libraries:

Oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much! I’ll message you in a bit.

She's an absolute angel to work with and also super funny and working with her on your books is always so much fun!

She also does query letters, which really helps! If you're in a place where your book is just about query ready, now is a great time to get started with FERAL GIRL BOOKS.

FERAL GIRL BOOKS is having a SALE!

My wonderful previous agent Amy Tipton's home flooded and she needs a bit of a marketing boost!

She's also the person who helped me edit THE WICKER KING and sold it with me, so please treat her sweet!
