I'm so excited to share what I've been working on: My author-illustrator debut is coming out summer 2025!
I’m thrilled to be working with everyone at Random House Children’s Books. The biggest shoutout to my amazing agent, Lane, and my lovely critique partners and friends for all their support! 💙

Book 9 of 2023:
My toxic trait is seeing something on Etsy and thinking I can make it myself
Book 8 of 2023:

One of the best parts of the WGA deal: AI has now hit a brick wall in Hollywood, *and that includes adaptations.*

It’s a Pretty Woman kind of night
Rain for the entire weekend. Perfect reading weather
Spooky tea time! 👻🫖🧁🍪🍰🕸️
