Text reads: Calam and Darling’s charming alternating first-person POVs combine to deliver a hijinks-forward, vivacious true love story that empathetically portrays mental health challenges. Characters are intersectionally diverse.

Please do not read my books if you don’t like queer characters living happily. I have published 6 books and every single one of them is queer normative. I will not put content warnings on LGBTQA+, you should not be surprised by the existence of people and I am not catering to your fanatical whims.

Emily Settle at F+F has bought A TASTE OF MEMORIES, acozy YA fantasy following a witch who allows people to relive their fondest memories by recreating recipes from their past at her magical tearoom, and a warlock who arrives on her doorstep haunted by a dangerous spirit that threatens his future.

My next YA cozy fantasy, A Taste of Memories, is coming your way in Spring 2027 from Feiwel & Friends!! This one is magical, foodtastic, and incredibly meaningful. You will cry while spreading some sweetly tart jam on your scone. I hope you’ll love it. Alt Description below :))
