I’ve been quiet, but it’s for a good reason 💛 Elena came 3 weeks early, spent a day in the NICU where I wasn’t allowed because I had norovirus, BUT our family has been reunited again and soaking in all the baby snuggles! (Now prepare to rarely if ever see my children’s faces on here again lol)
On bed rest until the baby is here and leaving work yesterday made me so sad. What do you mean I won’t get to be in this beautiful place again for months?
AND IT'S HERE The gorgeous cover for LORD OF RUIN with art direction by Ella Garrett and artwork by @superstarfighter.bsky.social Isn't he just stunning? Isaac will be coming to you this August from Orbit! Pre-orders are available now!
Judge and I were chatting between hearings and she turns to me and goes “or as my kids would say, yapping” 😂
It’s been over a decade and I’m still gagged by “if it weren’t for the baby”
Didn’t realize question was happening over here too and now feel like I’ll be annoying cross posting 😅
If you’ve experienced burnout and a loss of creative drive, what have you done to bring yourself out of it? Asking for myself 😅
holy shit it looks so cool, schwab summer treated me well. 📸 jemtessa on twitter
remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it
Don’t post here as often as I should but life update! In less than 12 weeks we are evicting a human from my body and I am really feeling the effects of being an incubator lately 🥴 It’ll be so nice to complete our family, to get my autonomy back and start to feel like a person again 🤞🏻
Posted a full recap over on Instagram for those who are interested 🥂
I watch Judge Judy, but in real life while taking notes.

New year, new WIP? 👀 I’m struggling to write and just need to pick something self indulgent to get myself back into it. Soooo a twist on hades and Persephone in an underground city on the brink of collapse thanks to a growing cult? It’s fantasy, it’s horror, it’s romance. It’s so me lol
25 for 25 📚 This is a lofty goal and I’ll be lucky to read half of them, but this list slaps.
Realized Robert Eggers was the same age I am now when he released The VVitch…

Man oh man, I wish I could publicly share the bonkers things I hear in court in this account, but alas, I am bound to private channels. Let’s just say, my fear of crawl spaces has greatly increased.
I GET TO WRITE MORE BOOKS! 🌿✨ Beyond honored to announce my second YA novel found its forever-home with my incredible publisher Peachtree Teen. THOUGH THIS BE MADNESS has so much of Me in it. I’m incredibly thankful to be offered a space to be so vulnerable.
Keeping my 2025 goals pretty light: - read at least one book a month - finish a first draft, maybe a round of edits and off to agent
I’ve had enough of woke ugly men in our games, so I’ve improved Geralt
Happy Holidays! I'm thrilled to report that MISTRESS OF LIES has been chosen as a Kindle Holiday Read, and is discounted to $2.99 starting today! The promotion runs through 12/22, and is US only. If you're looking for a bloody good read for the Holiday season, consider checking it out!
This might ruffle feathers, but I think it’s time we as a community took a step back from pitch events. The initial purpose was to have agent participation and to create a space to uplift marginalized voices, and that has been lost.
