I know there's technically no audience allowed at the presidential debate tonight, but someone needs to put the Phanatic and Gritty sitting dead center in the auditorium, facing the candidates, their wide eyes and unblinking, staring into the depth of their souls.

It's happening! Thrilled to announce that I'm now represented by @rebeccalitagent, who saw my STEM romance for all of its nerdy glory and wants to champion it with me! I can't wait to see where we go together!

OMG going feral for this 😍
Grace is pissed she’s forcibly engaged to an overly pious rule-follower Ezra is concerned about the # of bodies his fiance keeps asking him to hide. They say in sickness and in health, but Ezra doesn’t think she’s sick. He’s pretty sure she’s possessed. #pitdark #A #LH
