I’ve become a meme factory for fantasy romance girlies ✨⚔️❤️🔮📚💙🪐🌶️ (procrastinating on my plotting)
I started plotting my urban fantasy romance with a pole dancing, motorcycle driving manananggal assassin on a mission to seduce and kill a (sexy) sun god set in a modern Vegas + LA filled with gods and monsters 😈🍸🌞💋🎰🌊🎥 which is SO EXCITING but me, the author, am in bed at 8pm with a herbal tea 🍵
Finally made it out to @joiedelivresmtl.bsky.social , an amazing Montreal bookstore/café/bar. My books there are now signed. And I got to hang with my friend @deannajvaldez.com

It was an absolute JOY to moderate the WHO’S TELLING THIS STORY (AND HOW?) panel at #CanCon2025 ❤️ We could have gone on forever about POV, first person vs third close narrative, and unreliable narrators!
Pictured: @ellieabouttown.bsky.social and I taking quick breaks to eat and dance between all the fun CanCon activities ❤️ Not pictured: @ellieabouttown.bsky.social and I sprinting to get to panels in time and taking nap breaks in the car 💤 Balance 🫶
#CanCon2025 highlight: THE MONSTROUS RETELLINGS PANEL! Honoured to share the table with fabulous authors @kateheartfield.com, @anuja-v.bsky.social and Derek Newman-Stills 🫶 The room was PACKED the audience was ENGAGED and I had the BEST time!
