Hey everyone! I’m always curious about what connects you to my stories. 📚✨
Is it the twisty plots, the deep characters, or maybe the way we explore big questions? Let’s have a little poll in the comments: tell me what draws you to my books.

Definitely the world-building and plot. The big questions that Scythe posed about an immortal world, for example, was phenomenal and I kept reading wanting to see more about this alternate reality that seems like it would be a utopia, only it's not.

I love the characters, the way that they are presented, and how they aren't seen as perfect or terrible. They are presented as people, they have flaws but they have good things about them. I also like how you write child characters without them being annoying or overbearing, they are just a lot easier to read about than how some authors will write child protags.
Scythe is my favorite book of all time. I even got a half sleeve tattoo of the cover with one of my favorite quotes. I love that series because you can read it for enjoyment and not look too deep but you added so many layers that add thought provoking commentary in the modern day like religion, gender, mortality to name a few. I've gifted the book to so many people and they have all loved it as well.
The characters and the plot intertwine in such ways to make anybody love the book. I also love scythe. I read the entire series twice in two weeks it was so good.
The whimsy, the humor, and the twist on old tropes. The way you imagine a world is unmatched and never disappoints. My students cannot get enough. Your books do not sit on my shelves for long periods and often find a new home.
You write characters that are so real and live rent-free in my brain even though I read some of these books 10+ years ago. Cy-Fi digging in that backyard....Ugh it still guts me. I also feel like there's hope infused in your stories that is nearly impossible to find in books these days. We need more of that.
The way you compel with moral quandary more than fast action
