It’s so special seeing the clips of Connor and Hudson being soulmates IRL. HR really nailed it by bringing them together. That probably means more to them than the fame or fortune

Several reviewers have said my debut book is “different” and “surprising.” I take that as a compliment

I love seeing my friends’ books out in the wild. Like hey, I know a celebrity!

Was offline most of the day because I'm not feeling well, but I just logged on and saw I sold a book! Thank you, kind stranger, for making my day better

Read Heated Rivalry to compare it to the show. The show creators made some good calls, but the best decision was casting Connor Storrie. He’s perfect as Ilya

If I say my book is 90,000 words, just know that I have twice that in deleted scenes

I have my first Barnes & Noble book signing on February 7! Ahh, I’m so nervous
#booksky #YAlit #WritingCommunity

My book got its first review of the year, and it’s 5 ⭐️!

Joining a writer’s club was one of the best decisions. They hooked me up with a book signing at B&N and I get to teach a writing workshop for teens and adults next month. Plus, I can make new author friends!

I hit 30,000 words for my second book!

My New Year's resolution the last few years has been to publish my first book. This year, I finally did it!

On my book’s Kobo page, the first “related read” is There’s a Boy in the Girls’ Bathroom. I loved that one as a kid!

Writing this sequel and there is SO MUCH ANGST. I was definitely born to write YA
