Big news! I’m writing more books for y’all. I’m excited to announce I’ve signed on with Stag Beetle Books to release a new YA horror trilogy in the latter parts of 2026 and on into the new year. I can’t wait to share more about this spine-tingling series in the coming weeks and months. Stay tuned!
In case you missed it, you’re getting more @kaylaancrum.bsky.social novels, and soon.
“…books are largely ephemeral, some for the moment, a rare few for all time, and most in between. That’s how it’s always been, and if you embrace the journey, the next writing day, you’ll find there are always new stories.” —Cynthia Leitich Smith, interviewed by AJ Eversole for Cynsations Headshot of Cynthia in glasses indoors, vertical row of hearts in different shades of blue, cover art for HERE COME THE AUNTIES!
