The good news keeps coming this week! THE WICKED The good news keeps coming this week! THE WICKED UNSEEN is a #1 Amazon Young Adult LGBTQ+ Fiction Best Seller. And it made top-10 in #YAthriller #YAsuspense and top-20 in #YAhorror. Set during the Satanic Panic, my YA debut follows the new girl in town (Audre) as her new friend/crush disappears and the deeply religious townspeople blame demons...and then Audre's family. Only Audre can get her dad out of jail and find our missing girl. #YAqueerfiction #LGBTQIAfiction
COVER REVEAL! I'm thrilled to reveal the cover fo COVER REVEAL! I'm thrilled to reveal the cover for AND THE TREES STARE BACK. Thank you to the incredible @evangelinegallagher for such stunning art! Available for pre-order now and out in May! Book description: 1989, Soviet Estonia. In sixteen-year-old Vik’s village—and the cursed forest that looms beyond—danger is everywhere. Soldiers threaten those who so much as dream of dissent. The villagers’ words are sharp with accusations of witchcraft. And deep in the heart of the wood, a lantern-eyed spirit lies in wait to disappear those who wander too far past the trees. Vik knows because five years ago, she led her little sister Anna over that invisible line—and never saw her again. The only thing Vik has wished for since then is her sister’s safe return. So when Anna stumbles back through the tree line on the anniversary of her disappearance, it’s a miracle… Or is it a lie? As unsettling inconsistencies between this girl and the one who vanished reveal themselves, Vik starts to doubt whether this Anna is her Anna—or something else entirely. Whoever she is, one thing is clear: she was never meant to escape the trees. And unless Vik can uncover the secrets of the forest, it’s going to take her back. Rooted in real history with a speculative twist, the horrors of And The Trees Stare Back are the ones we already know: existing as a marginalized person under a hostile state. Raising powerful questions about whose humanity counts and how to survive if the governing body decides yours doesn't, this politically incisive folk-horror irresistibly explores ever-relevant legacies of activism and solidarity. Enormous thanks to editorial genius @dirty.dishez and queen of all agents @pterlip and the whole team at @holidayhousebks.

Surprise! WE ARE THE BEASTS is up for giveaway! En Surprise! WE ARE THE BEASTS is up for giveaway! Enter to win now over on Goodreads! WE ARE THE BEASTS When a series of brutal, mysterious deaths start plaguing the countryside and whispers of a beast in the mountains reach the quiet French hamlet of Mende, most people believe it’s a curse—God’s punishment for their sins. But to sixteen-year-old Joséphine and her best friend, Clara, the beast isn’t a curse. It’s an opportunity. For years, the girls of Mende have been living in a nightmare—fathers who drink, brothers who punch, homes that feel like prisons—and this is a chance to get them out. Using the creature’s attacks as cover, Joséphine and Clara set out to fake their friends’ deaths and hide them away until it’s safe to run. But escape is harder than they thought. If they can’t brave a harsh winter with little food… If the villagers discover what they’re doing… If the beast finds them first... Those fake deaths might just become real ones.
