And maybe if I talk about my projects, it'll help me hold myself accountable.

So, my work in progress is tentatively titled Champagne Problems. It's the story of Emma and Violet, who have to navigate class issues and past trauma in order to find each other.

Hoping to finish the draft in October!

I'm not great at social media for a few reasons, but one of them is I'm kind of a slow writer! I find it difficult to talk about my process because it involves a lot of false starts.

That said, I'm aiming to get better at it, so here I am!

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games.

Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. ๐Ÿ’™

My books are available through Ylva!

ALWAYS A LOVE SONG is an angsty second-chance romance.

THE BUSINESS OF LOVE is a fake relationship/marriage of convenience that is low angst.

Check them out!
