Yes! Thank you! ❤️

Bittersweet. LAERTES DIES TOO is my first play to make it to the semifinalist stage with the O’Neill, and I’m so honored that it got this far. ❤️ #writerslife #playwright #playwrightsofinstagram #playwrightlife

I’m reading Sunrise on the Reaping, rewatching The Handmaid’s Tale, & living in the US, so I guess you could say I’m in my dystopian era. #dystopia #dystopian #amreading #dystopianlit #hungergames #amwatching #thehandmaidstale

If you live near McLean, VA (about 30 minutes from DC!) or if you just want to take a fun road trip, my dark comedic play DROWNING OPHELIA is being performed at Shakespeare Opera Theatre April 4-7, 9, 11-12. I will be participating in after show talkbacks April 4-6.

Seeing my work performed by the next generation of theatre artists brings me so much joy!

A little less than 30 hours & this Kickstarter campaign will be finished! I want to thank everyone who contributed over the last month. Your support has given me all the feels, truly.

I couldn’t have done this without YOU. $194 more & I can donate 100 books!

"DEFTLY BALANCES MAGICAL REALISM WITH A SENSITIVELY OBSERVED PORTRAIT OF A TEENAGE GIRL STRUGGLING WITH DEBILITATING PANIC ATTACKS. A THOUGHTFUL AND SATISFYING BLEND OF MAGICAL REALISM AND ROMANCE." — KIRKUS REVIEWS

My Kirkus review for Slip came in today. I couldn’t be more pleased. I am so glad others see the value in this story. Yes, it’s entertainment. But it’s also so much more than that. It’s a handbook for what healthy relationships should look like. It’s a guidebook for the anxious. ❤️

“Oh, it is excellent to have a giant’s strength but tyrannous to use it as a giant.” - Isabelle, Measure for Measure. Shakespeare once again proving to still be relevant. #shakespeare #theatre #theatrelife #lancastershskespearetheatre

Almooooooost. $829 more & I can donate 150 copies of Slip to libraries and schools. Give this post a boost, a share, a like - whatever it takes to get seen.

The project is fully funded so you are guaranteed to receive whatever reward tier you choose!

A daily reminder that if I reach $4k, I can donate 150 books to schools and libraries to get books where they belong - in the hands of the teens who need them.

You were in my neck of the woods! It’s a lovely bookshop for sure!

DROWNING OPHELIA was first performed in San Francisco in 2013. It has since been produced across the US & in Canada. In 2024, NDNA Productions brought DROWNING OPHELIA to the Bulgarian stage, remounting their unique vision for this show over & over again. I am eternally grateful. #playwrightlife

It is way too early to post this ridiculousness, but @fireflybookstore.bsky.social asked me to share some thoughts on why I wrote SLIP. So here we are. My children have assured me this is a 7/10 on the cringe scale. This is why I never did #BookTok. 🤣

L. Ryan Storms wrote a beautiful YA novel about living with anxiety, born out of her own experience (and a touch of magical realism). Let’s all take care of ourselves & each other.
