bring back old fashioned dating: you do a dark ritual to summon a monstrous eldritch sea god and then twine your fingers with his and ask him to be ur boyfriend
(scorpion deep, coming 10.27.26)
SCORPION DEEP ARCS ARE HERE IN MY HANDS and i feel very calm about this!! like that’s my story! it did not exist until i dreamt it up!! (pls note the baby kraken on the spine)
just me, obsessing over the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition of SCORPION DEEP. look at him 😭😭 it has exclusive endpapers, deep teal stained edges, and an annotated chapter done in my handwriting. out October 27th, 2026.
COVER REVEAL!! I’m so excited to reveal the cover of my next adult gothic thriller THIS IS HOW YOU LIE!! The Housemaid meets The Haunting of Bly Manor in a tale that’s haunted, claustrophobic, and so very twisted. Out March 16, 2027 from St Martin’s Press.
just a little rundown of all my books so far. I write queer YA gothic horromances and dark adult psychological suspense 🙂↕️🙂↔️ with a lil dystopian incoming

god forbid someone just wants to collect books and live in a mossy cottage deep in the darkest part of the woods and nest there pleasantly while the locals accuse them of being a witch
i’m an autistic author who has officially published three autistic books now😭🥹
The Boy Who Steals Houses (autistic acceptance)
You Did Nothing Wrong (critique of parents of undiagnosed autistic kids but also about unsupported mothers left to drown)
Hazelthorn (autistic rage)
very very cool to be holding the Book Of The Month edition of my twisted dark little horror You Did Nothing Wrong 😭😭 never dreamed how far this book would go when i was writing it back in 2023
if you like gothic botanical horror then you need my unhinged monstrous boys. Scorpion Deep is about falling in love with an eldritch sea god and Hazelthorn is about being buried alive in the garden by the boy you loved. they’re on sa|e at B&N right now!!!
just leaving this here as a little release week treat for everyone who wants my debut adult gothic domestic horror meets haunted house horror

(it’s out now!!) art by Akkito_
