Awesome cover! 😍

Ugh I’m sorry. ❤️

“Intoxicatingly satisfying.” Kirkus Reviews

Very happy to read such a lovely review from Kirkus for The Cursed Queen’s Daughter, coming out in February 2026!

The bots are not ok

Omg😂

Eye opening. This is such a disturbing reason for releasing technology, as if the inevitably of something means it’s somehow better to do it first. “Society will get used to it” is also not a compelling argument in favour.

The sprayed edges feature leaves, a candle, and a pixie.

I have to share something that made my week. 😊 The Cursed Queen’s Daughter is getting a special edition with sprayed edges! 🦋

She’s so talented!

Is now a good time to remind folk of the "Three Sentence Review"? #BookSky

We used this on the little shelfcards in the bookstore when my booksellers were stuck—they could hand-sell like mad, but writing a review often stalled them out. This worked.

(Any tropes are a great answer to #1, btw.)

This is so beautiful!

Love that shade! 😍

Sooo deprived! 😂
