What do I have up my sleeve for 2026? SOOOOO many good things. I’m taking 2026 this year. Mark. My. Words.
SAY SO is back in readers hands and larger than ever. Read the ebook and paperback now.
IN THE GRAY’s audiobook is finally in the wild. Narrated by Myles Washington, Simone Rothschild, and Ja’air Bush.
CRUCIBLE’s new paperback and audiobook drops in nine short days on FEB 24th, but you don’t have to wait until then to start. The ebook is available to read.
LILAC’s new paperback cover releases on AUG 18th and it is stunning! We have one more surprise for you, and just so you know…I screamed when I saw it. 🫢
And last but not least: the BBverse is getting a little bigger with another retelling, a whole new world to explore, and characters for you to lose your mind over. It’s Black, it’s witchy, it’s set in France, and it’s soooo damn good. 🤐

It wouldn’t be a reading guide of mine if I didn’t forget a slide—just like last time. My updated reading guide is up! Check my last post for the rest of the guide if you’re looking for something different.

🐙 FALL 2025 READING GUIDE 🐙
I have a lot of range and I’m not afraid to use it, which means there’s almost no chance I won’t have something for everyone. However, it can also be frustrating for mood readers and those who like to stay comfortably in their bubble.
✨With great artistic freedom comes great responsibility.✨
This comprehensive guide will help you find a starting point if you’re new to me OR catch up if it’s been a while.
🐙 CHRYSALIS releases on 04.14.26
🐙 Some titles may appear more than once because they fit multiple categories.
Hope this helps!!

LILAC’s trad paperback comes with sprayed edges and sexy new artwork that made me squeal. It was the first time I got to see the members of Bound. I’m so excited to see Lilac in stores again. The new paperback will be available on Aug 18th! I’ll also be going on tour. Deets coming next week. 😍

When the trope is TOUCH HER & DIE, but you thought he meant “dead to me.” Oop 🫣⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: mild g0r3. ⏩ Swipe to the 4th slide if you like to live dangerously.
@eightbawlstudio crushed this scene from CRUCIBLE of Seth giving Aurelia the severed head after she was attacked by drifters and her men did what they do. Gaaaaaaaah! 😮💨🫠 I. Am. GAAAAAAAGGED. I can’t thank the artist enough.
I also want to take a moment to appreciate all that 🍑🍑🍑Aurelia is carrying back there. Made me say WHOA. 😜🫶🏾

Thank you for an amazing release week! I hope everyone is enjoying Chrysalis! I especially loved seeing so many of you at BookCon this past weekend.
I’m wrapping up my final book this year so my time online will be limited, but stay tuned for a special reveal happening tomorrow. 🫶🏾

Had such a great time at @bookcon that I forgot take more footage. I got to chop it up with @authordanielleallen and see her shine at her panel. And then I did my first ever panel with @taylorjlarue@authorshaylingandhi and @literaryintersections and I don’t word vomit as bad as I thought I would. 😂
My absolute highlight of the weekend was the reader who dressed up as Aurelia/Goldilocks. That was so cool to see, and I’ll never ever forget it. I couldn’t wait to tell my mama I made it. 😭🥹🙌🏾
Thank you so much to @sourcebooks and @read_bloom for creating this amazing opportunity for me.
