In a world where people are judged by their shadows, Eliana’s is dangerously dark. When she follows a smart-mouthed conman into the criminal underworld to find a cure, she learns there’s much more to her world, her shadow, and her own past than she imagined. #PitMad#YA#FA
When I sent my first batch of queries last month, @annawenner told me to let her know when I got my first rejection. Lo and behold, when I showed her the email, she dropped off a congrats cards and a plate full of brownies at my door. 😭❤️
The darker the shadow, the darker the soul—that's all Eliana's ever known. But when her search for a cure to her inky-black shadow uncovers secrets that could tear her world apart, she must decide: expose the terrible truth or keep her people in the dark forever? #PitMad#YA#FA
So glad to have people in my corner who know how scary it is to put yourself out there, that rejection isn’t failure, and how to make the less fun parts a little sweeter.

I am so grateful that I did NOT bother to make New Year’s resolutions going into 2020.
A moment of silence for my friend who vowed to “get out more” last year.
Wow, does anybody else have a perfect streak of WRITING EVERY DAY THIS YEAR??
(Time to never revisit this so the streak will never be broken.) #WritingCommunity
The 1st chapter of a relationship is like the first chapter of a book. You have to connect if it's going to last.
Think about your reader as someone you're attracted to.
Flirt with them.
Be vulnerable.
Build a foundation that'll last.

A.I. scientist Silvan Rathe designs robot bees to pollinate crops that climate change almost killed off. An ex-marine kidnaps Rathe’s son, vowing to kill him if Rathe doesn’t hand over weaponized bees so he can finish his organization’s invasion of America. #PitMad#A#STEM#SPF
A dashing debonair bastard prince on the lam… a troubled teen who is kind of shitty at being a criminal… Together, these two will tear down the establishment, unleash anarchy, and kill some assholes who had it coming. If the lame kid doesn’t chicken out first. #SFFPit#YA#FA
