What I’m most excited for as a 2026 Debut Author (and what you can look forward to)
Somehow?? It’s my debut year?? And I’m going to be a published author THIS year?? I’m still in disbelief, honestly. Despite that, there are a few things I genuinely can’t wait for!
No context quotes with ✨angst✨ because I love torturing my characters! 🤭🫣
Pitch:
Edgar Allan Poe never wrote fiction and now his victims want revenge. When a soul-devouring spirit is released, Edgar’s daughter, Annalise, and her childhood friend, Henry, must defeat the spirit or lose their souls.
It’s 2026…which means…
I’m OFFICIALLY A DEBUT AUTHOR!!!!! I’m honestly flabbergasted in the most magical (& slightly anxious) way! 😱🤯🥹✨
Happy 2026, friends! I hope you’re ready for nonstop book marketing!
Because…
THE LEGACY OF POE is coming your way THIS year! AHHHH!!! 😱🤯
Just a fun little post about what my character’s resolutions would be, featuring Annalise, Henry, & the sentient manor…👀🫣
