I recently visited Fireside Books in Redwood City for a comics pop-up! I got an awesome haul of Alien comics. While I was there, a couple bought my book and I signed it for them 🥰 What a great day.
Support indie bookstores always! #booksky
You matter 💜

If you’re a late-diagnosed AuDHD elder millenial with hyperlexia who escaped into fantasy books as a kid and always got shamed for your sex drive by the fundamentalist church you escaped during college, read Silver Star, Red Dragon
Or if you just like pretty words and dragonfucking #booksky
The Raven doesn’t love. He obsesses. He worships.
He’s a knife with a soft voice and a kingdom of ashes. And he only kneels for one person: Cricket.

Wicked Flavours by Azalea Crowley on a kindle.
I made it to Amsterdam for my friend’s wedding. All my friends are gonna be in one place. I’m sitting outside in the sunshine decompressing from the flight, no alc beer in hand, reading an ARC from one of my favourite authors @azaleacrowley.bsky.social.
I’m on holiday!
In the mood for a 'well that escalalted quickly' dark fantasy? Look no further. Bi disaster, Gideon, got you.
What Doesn't Kill You is a companion novella to Bring Her Home and focuses on Gideon, whose life isn't quite taking the turn he expected it to take.

Welcome to Caerleon, where the vampires run the streets, the werewolves start fights, and love means never saying you won’t stab someone for them 🖤

Reader: “How do you come up with these plots?”
Me: [shaking a magic 8-ball that just says ‘crime’ and ‘bad decisions’]

Cyra, an elf with zero chill: What if I ignore all my problems until they become catastrophic?
Ezren, the golden retriever thembo: What if we kissed? Haha, just kidding... unless?
Laeroth, the emotionally constipated elf: What if I begrudgingly tolerate this and secretly care too much?
Current read: Dusk undone by @authorbrimooney.bsky.social
Raeden died, but her soul can't move on because she doesn't remember anything of her former life or her death. All she remembers is pain.
She is sent back to earth to unravel the mysteries surrounding her death.
The past is gone, but its ghosts still haunt her every step.
😭😭😭

Me, writing a romance novel: What if love wasn't about softness?
What if it was power? What if it was desperation? What if it was I will burn this entire city down for you?
Yeah. That’s my kind of love story.
