MORIBUND: Amazon Best Seller!

It's official! CIRCUIT FAE: MORIBUND is an Amazon Best Seller! I feel honored to be on the lists with such amazing reads as CRIER'S WAR and GIDEON THE NINTH (which is next on my reading list--yay!) Thank you so much to all the readers, reviewers, bloggers, friends, fans, and family who've supported me and this series! It's very close to my heart because, growing up, I didn't have any books like these at all, where teen lesbians had romance and adventures. Heck, I never really

Con Recap: In Your Write Mind 2019

This past weekend, I returned to my MFA alma mater, Seton Hill University in Greensburg, PA, for the In Your Write Mind 2019 writers' conference.

Seton Hill is more than just the place I got my MFA. It was the first place where other writers told me my work had promise. For the first time ever, I got feedback on my writing, and pe

MORIBUND Nominated for a Cybils Award!

Dear Readers, THANK YOU! I'm so excited that MORIBUND has been nominated for a Cybils Award in the YA Speculative Fiction category. But even more importantly, just knowing that you love MORIBUND and all things CIRCUIT FAE makes my dark heart so happy. When I started writing about Syl and Rouen's adventures, I was told by some people that queer fiction wouldn't sell, that it wasn't a smart career decision, that, if only I wrote about straight, white, cisgender characters, I'd
