And here’s a little story about A SEASON OF SINISTER DREAMS. I started writing this manuscript back in 2011. I remember exactly where I was and the circumstances: my first agent was shopping my third ma...

Title and Cover Reveal!!

Behold the awesomeness of the Grace and Fury sequel! I love that Queen of Ruin‘s cover is red and bold, and I think it’ll look awesome with both the original Grace and Fury as well as the exclusive OwlCrate edition.

Also, a fun little tidbit! Most titles are created by committee…they’re often not what the author originally thought of. Like with Grace and Fury – my original title was something very different and changed multiple times throughout the revision and publication process (which is...

Come hang with me!

GRACE AND FURY has been in bookstores for a week now, and I still can’t believe it! What a thrill to see my fierce sisters staring out at me from the shelves! Family members and friends have been sending me pics of my girls in the wild all week and it’s the most incredible thing!

These preorder gifts are my way of saying THANK YOU for ordering the book, for being excited about it, and for giving my sisters, Nomi and Serina, a chance to steal your heart (they’ve definitely s...

The Latest + Upcoming Events

It’s hard to believe GRACE AND FURY comes out in the US on July 31st, even harder to wrap my head around the fact that the German edition is already on shelves! And the Italian edition is coming on May 29th! I don’t know if it’s common or not for foreign editions of books to publish before the US version, but it’s been a thrill to see the response from German readers. I’m so grateful to all of you for picking IRON FLOWERS up and for reviewing on Goodreads and Amazon!

We’re now just about two...
