Hi! ONE FOR ALL is the first novel published by a major publisher with a MC with POTS, and the first traditionally published YA with a MC with POTS. (I can't speak to self-published books with POTS rep.)

Hi there, and thank you for your kind words about One for All! I would love to write a novel connected to OFA in the future (I even have the sequel planned out and the first few chapters written), but whether or not it is published is out of my hands. The best way to help that happen is to continue spreading the word about OFA.
As far as my other work is concerned, I will have a short story in a YA disability horror anthology called These Bodies Ain't Broken coming from Page Street, scheduled for Fall 2025. There isn't a Goodreads or preorder link yet, but I will share it here when the time comes!
Re: novels, I have so many planned/written. Some are YA, some are adult, but all of them feature chronic illness/disability in different ways. Again, so much of this is out of my hands as an author, but I really hope these books will find their way onto shelves someday soon (and I will of course update my website/social media/my Goodreads page whenever I have news.)

Thank you so much! I would absolutely love to write a sequel (and may or may not have a title and synopsis planned already), but right now, OFA is technically a standalone.

I've wanted to be a writer since I was five (no joke, my Mom laminated my "what do you want to be when you grow up" school assignment for posterity.) Maybe I couldn't spell "ritr" then, but I knew I desperately wanted to be the person who thought up the stories found in books. And that dream never died, never changed, only ever grew in strength. So the best thing about being a writer? I'm living out little Lillie's dream.
