Allegra has carved an incredibly strong space in the SFF world for their clients. Their vision for upscaling my adult desert-set, enemies-to-lovers, queer fantasy, RED WASTELAND, is so, so, so powerful (editors… keep us in mind!).
HIGMA to come soon for those curious!
NEWS! 💌
Starry-eyed to announce I’m now represented by Allegra Martschenko (@allegramartsch) at BookEnds Literary!
After a whirlwind 2 weeks of querying and 10 offers of rep, I couldn’t be more excited to have secured such an excellent agent, especially as I expand into adult fantasy.
To all who see their hurts, loves, ambitions, and dreams reflected in Felix and Loren, this book is for you. Please remember that someday, you will find those who see you as you deserve to be understood.
Thank you for being part of my mythology.
Today VESUVIUS releases, and I’m a published author.
Felix’s story came from a place of hurt, but by the love of the hands it’s passed through, it became one of healing. Even as a writer, I’ll never find the words to thank those who held me through it.
Now the story is yours.
Happy pride month 🏳️⚧️
If you want to help fund a trans person’s top surgery later this year, preordering my very queer book about boys kissing in the final days of Pompeii would mean the world to me :) 💕
Out June 10!
Thinking fondly of last summer when the copy editor of VESUVIUS posed this question

Two weeks until VESUVIUS is out in the world ✨✨✨
Should I reveal the secret hiding under the dust jacket soon?
Oh my agent HATES to see my comp title suggestions for my pitches coming
Can’t wait for her to replace them with something acceptable
Author copies came

Anyway, if you want to help me feel like it was worth finagling all these prints (it was!), make sure you submit your preorder receipt to my form! Don’t miss out!

It’s rare for publishers to fund preorder campaigns.
Can I afford it? Not really! Will it move the needle on sales? Probably not!
I’m literally doing it because I want to, and it’s a way to connect with readers. That’s it.
Keep in mind, if you’re a debut author seeing other debuts do merch & prints & stickers & bookmarks, and wondering why YOUR publisher didn’t do that for you
It’s because that author is probably paying out of pocket
Everything I’m doing for VESUVIUS is funded by me.
you’re literally my hero

My hands are shaking as I type this.
I’m unbelievably honored to announce that the final blurb for VESUVIUS is by CS Pacat, whose books were the first place I saw my traumas on page.
VESUVIUS simply would not exist without Pacat.
Berry is here to announce she dgaf
