Hello everyone! Been a while since I’ve posted. Needed a break. Just started writing again and want to get back to the #writingcommunity here! How’s everyone doing? How’s your writing going? ✍️📚💙

Just finished reading this book. My daughter read it too. It’s so very special and I so wish I’d had it on my shelf as a kid.

I'm thrilled to announce that applications for the Street Team for my debut adult dark romantasy, HEART OF BONE, are now open! I'd love to have your support - fill out the form if you're interested in taking part! 🩵 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

This book will stick with my forever.

To all the middle grade writers out there, what is your opinion on first person present for middle grade? Is it still considered wrong for the genre? #writingcommunity

Just finished a book and ready to start the next one. Which one should I read first?

Living the dream. One tattoo at a time.

Best day in LA! Chilly with rain. Matzo ball soup and salmon cakes from the brand new and already famous diner in my neighborhood. New books bought with a birthday gift card. Life is good.

I got enough money for my birthday to get another tattoo!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so excited!

My new MG supernatural horror is coming along! I think this is the first book I’ve written where I can see the full plot in my head. Can’t wait to share it with the world someday! #amwriting #writingcommunity

Ugh i totally forgot about #mockpit! So bummed! But these pitches are SO good!

My mom’s spirit possessed me. She’s nonstop judging me and I’m having a really hard time getting through school with her shenanigans. I literally haven’t spoken to my rabbi since my Bat Mitzvah, but I’m thinking of asking him to preform an exorcism. AITA? #FiFRevPit #writingcommunity

My review with SFF insiders is officially UP on their website (🔗 in the comments). That means it's giveaway time!!! If you'd like to win a free paperback OR ebook copy of SAWKILL GIRLS by Claire LeGrand, follow the instructions below:

All Amara wants is to get her period and walk with The Sharks, but her menstrual cycle is not what she imagined. When people start dying, she wonders, is she the one draining the blood of her neighbors? Or are The Sharks holding an even bigger secret? #questpit #MG #W #H #F
