I JUST GOT TO SEE THE COLOR ADDED TO MY COVER AND I CAN'T STOP GRINNING LIKE A FOOL OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG YOU ARE NOT READY I AM NOT READY I CAN'T STOP SCREAMING AHHHHHHHH!!!!

That is...so baffling.

I go about my day and then I remember that I could get the next stage of my cover at any point and then I just giggle with unhinged excitement

Right??? My old BOSS used to do this all the time 🫠 but it's not like your name is hard either????

This is how I feel but to be spelled Nichole forever (the amount of times I get it in email responses when my actual spelling with no H is right there) 💀

PSA to my fellow Zoom users -- it's automatically turned on a bunch of A.I. features without asking you✌️

to turn all 32 of them off, go to "Settings" --> "My Account" --> "View advanced features"

it'll open up your browser and list a SHITTON of A.I. features, many of which will be on (scroll!)

I can't believe this is up to 14% 😭 I know how terrible things are for everyone and so many causes deserve your attention. Asking for help is HARD, esp when everything I'm dealing with physically makes me such a burden. The help is mental as much as financial. Thank you.

Birdie Goodbain, last of the House’s daughters, thought only the dolls were watching… Raised in her family’s dollhouse museum, Birdie grew up surrounded by models of perfect daughters that she could never be, haunted by a father who refused to accept her and a mother who wouldn’t protect her. Birdie fled and didn’t look back. A home, a girlfriend, a job—a summons to the House she left behind. After ten years, Birdie returns to her mother’s welcoming arms, but something has changed in the centuries-old family home. Strange dogs hide in the foundations, her bedroom door locks on its own, her father won’t leave the basement—and something new and terrible lurks behind her mother’s eyes. She knows that she should leave, but eyes far older than the dolls’ have been watching her. The House allowed Birdie to escape once. It refuses to let her shame the family again.

one week!!! until the House(, Body, Bird) is released into the world!

Dovah the Dog, a Golden Retriever with a white face, is mid-leap eating a pink doggo treat that says Love with white frosting. Her ears have lifted like little airplanes.

Omg she is SO precious. Dovah says hi

Oh I LOVE that.

Ooooh if this was a Beauty and the Beast retelling, that would be perfect title!!

And please do! I'd love to guess your future titles someday!

LOL I love this though 🐝

IT'S TIME TO GUESS THE TITLE OF MY NEXT BOOK. 🥀

I can't wait to see your guesses. Should I do something fun (like an eARC?) to whomever guesses it correctly first?

Artwork of the characters from Name Her Holy with “thank you!” written over it. Artwork of Kye, Jude, Orn and Raiya from the book Name Her Holy. Kye is sitting upfront, elbows resting on the arched border around the portrait holding a hot cup of tea. She is looking up fondly at Raiya who is perched over Orn’s shoulder looking at Kye while making bunny ears behind Jude’s head. Jude has her arm slung around Kye’s shoulder, holding an ale and grinning up at Orn who is laughing while leaning over and tussling Kye’s hair. Kye has tan skin covered with scars, pale gray eyes, short dark wavy hair, wearing a tailored dark jacket. Jude is white, freckled, has a long scar over her nose and long auburn hair in a braid with an undercut, wearing a loose linen shirt. Orn is tan, has a thick beard and dark hair with gray streaks in it, some old scarring on the side of his face and tattoos up his forearm of maps and a crow, wearing a brown leather jacket. Raiya is black, has long thin braids that are tied in a half bun with some silver beads and silver ear jewelry, wearing a dark cloak. They are all framed in an arched border with flowers, set against a pink/ochre sky with stars.

HEY it’s been a whole year since I published Name Her Holy✨

Thank you to every single person who bought the book, wrote reviews, recc’d it to friends, for all the fan-art and the fan-fic! I sincerely couldn’t have imagined this story getting the love that it did when I started writing it 😭💖

Cringe Era Action Plan My therapist's homework is now everyone's problem 😈

I have a newsletter out today that's more on the personal side and it'd mean so much if you read it and responded with ideas (I'm being so dead serious), if you don't mind more personal musings!

Do you want books to read? Did you know I write books? It's true. Despite having a username that talks about writing and constantly talking about my writing, I also find time to write books.

If you want to read about women kissing in dystopias, I have books for you.
