if anyone wants to come and hear me pretend to remember what I even wrote in that fever dream of a book, along with some extremely cool actual authors, I'm appearing on a panel with @emma.cleary_ and @tracyfaheyauthor at @cymerafestival 2026! i went to the festival last year and it's incredible fun with some incredible people, so it's mind bending to be back as a speaker this year. plus it's edinburgh. everyone should come to edinburgh.

Actually I lied. The other thing you can do is spend a writing weekend in Paris with @literary.fey We ate a lot of cheese

Sometimes when the world is on one and you still have a big deadline on something, the only thing to do is fuck off to Scotland for a writing weekend #amwri̇ti̇ng #amwritinghorror

shortlisted!!! i'm dizzy and screeching to be on this list, especially along with these incredible other debuts (i AM rooting for moonflow). when the thought "eat pray lovecraft... ha ha... wouldn't it be funny if a backpacker on a new age self-discovery trip joined a cult worshipping an eldritch god, i should write a book about that" passed casually through my head, I could never have imagined it leading here. so i'll just lie on the floor and yell for a bit thank you allll ❤️ #horrorauthor #horrordebut #amwriting

Look at @stopithester and I on time for a trend! Check your windows, folks — pigs’ll be flying any minute now. It’s always such a pleasure to collaborate with my favorite author, even on something silly. We’ve often said that our books, THE SEA HIDES ITS DEAD and THE FACELESS THING WE ADORE are sister books, but did y’all know that we’re a dynamic TTRPG power duo as well? Ask us about our Curse of Strahd characters! We feel normal about them! TFTWA was released in August, and is available wherever books are sold. TSHID, her gangly sister, is forthcoming in July 2026. Check them both out on Goodreads today! ✨ #writingcommunity #bookstagram #authorsofinstagram #booktok #horrorauthor #horrorbooks
