Welcome to my new website!
Hello my friends! In honor of GRACE AND FURY’s cover reveal (if you missed it, here’s the link to the reveal and Q&A), I decided to do a little revamping of my own. Huge, huge thanks to the incredible Hafsah at Icey Designs for creating this beautiful new web design, making it sparkle (literally!), and helping my web-challenged brain figure out how to actually USE the darn thing. I freaking LOVE it, especially the fact that it incorporates a photograph I took from my favorite place in the who...

Under Construction
Hello everyone! I know it's been ages since I blogged! I've been hard at work on GRACE AND FURY (previously known as The Iron Flowers) and am gearing up to start writing the sequel. Eep!!
In the meantime, I'm doing some updating and revamping of my website...so stay tuned for a whole new look coming in late Sept/early Oct...possibly around the time of a certain cover reveal.....dun dun DUN. ;-)
See you soon!

A Good Summer
It was a good summer (UNDERSTATEMENT. ;-)). I signed on to work with the amazing Linda Epstein, AND I sold some books! I'm so thrilled to share that I've sold a YA fantasy series to Little, Brown, in collaboration with my amazing friends at Alloy Entertainment, in a two-book deal! I'm SO excited about this series, which features two sisters trying to reunite by fighting their way out of two very different "prisons". Given what's happening in the world, I felt super inspired to write this stor...

It's been a long time...
I can't believe it's been a year since I last blogged! It's not because I haven't had news or things to talk about...it's just that most of the stuff that's been going on hasn't been the kind I can share...yet.
But today is different! Today I DO have news I can share!
I'm thrilled to announce that I'm now represented by the incredible Linda Epstein of Emerald City Literary Agency. Seeing as Linda was on my "dream agent" list, I'm pretty well over the moon right now. :-D
I've been continuing...

My little Aris, all grown up
Today TORN SKY, the third book in the REBEL WING series, is unleashed on the world. My mind is not quite grasping that yet, so I want to talk about why I love this series so much, why Rebel Wing is the book of my heart, and what's next for me.

The Rebel Wing series is particularly dear to my heart because it features a lot of really strong, powerful women. They aren't all strong in the same ways, but the...

Torn Sky Releases in ONE WEEK!
Guys, I'm still kind of in shock about this.
[image error]
When I wrote the original version of REBEL WING, I wasn't sure if I'd ever have a chance to continue Aris's story. But thanks to Alloy and Amazon, this trilogy will be complete a week from today.
Sigh....the pretty.
But this means I WROTE TWO BOOKS IN A YEAR. While going through a long, stressful move to Hawaii. It still blows my mind. (I don't even know how I'm functioning anymore. Sheesh.)
The truth is, I couldn't have done it without the awesom...

For those missing The 100 (or who want free books)
Hello my friends! You may not know this, but I’m kiiiiiiind of obsessed with the CW’s show THE 100. It’s full of all the things I love about good TV: smart writing, complex, interesting characters, thorny ethical questions, and super high stakes. The show’s film, costume, and make-up geniuses have brought the world beautifully, brutally to life, and the writers have created such a visceral storytelling style that I am literally on the edge of my seat and hardly breathing through practically e...
