So much has happened in my life recently. I moved to a gorgeous vintage apartment in Louisville, Kentucky and adopted a kitten named Heathcliff (read to the end for pics) to begin my Southern Gothic era. A whole debrief on why I left New York City and what magic is brewing for me down South is coming soon, but I am here today with single-minded purpose!
I am going on my first ever West Coast Tour in just one week, and there are still some tickets left! I’m bringing goodie bags of tour swag with me, including a limited edition bound booklet of the first twenty five pages of DIVINATION (Summoner’s Circle #3), in which Moira opens her own metaphysical shop, and romance and chaos ensue.
If you are in San Diego, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Portland, or Seattle, I would love nothing more than to see you! Book tours are rarer these days, since they’re an expensive endeavor for publishers, so it means the world to me when I get to see your shining faces, and prove to my publisher that in-person events are still worth it.
In the age of AI and atomization, it feels good to gather in reality together and celebrate our love of reading, and queer literature, and messy wizard soap operas!
Some events are ticketed, some are unticketed, and some are RSVP only, so be sure to check your bookstore at the event link below! I humbly invite you to dress in your witchy or sorcerous best (or in whatever makes you feel most comfortable) and bring a friend!
If you cannot join us on tour, never fear! There is still something extra sweet waiting for you in Barnes and Noble: a special edition bronze-foiled, sprayed edge paperback edition of ASCENSION with a sexy fluffy pride party bonus chapter in the back. Happy June little gay people in my phone!
It wouldn’t be pride without some special edition sapphic goodness. LitPins and Co is really spoiling you with this phenomenal edition of AN EDUCATION IN MALICE, which starts shipping out TODAY! They brought back a dream team of artists to create the most decadent dark academia collectors edition ever. Grab your numbered copy of this limited hand-signed run before they’re gone!
Deep in the forgotten hills of Massachusetts stands Saint Perpetua’s College. Isolated and ancient, it is not a place for timid girls. Here, secrets are currency, ambition is lifeblood, and strange ceremonies welcome students into the fold.
On her first day of class, Laura Sheridan is thrust into an intense academic rivalry with the beautiful and enigmatic Carmilla. Together, they are drawn into the confidence of their demanding poetry professor, De Lafontaine, who holds her own dark obsession with Carmilla.
But as their rivalry blossoms into something far more delicious, Laura must confront her own strange hungers. Tangled in a sinister game of politics, bloodthirsty professors and magic, Laura and Carmilla must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice in their ruthless pursuit of knowledge.

If you’re closer to Kentucky than he West Coast, you’ve got two upcoming chances to see me in conversation with amazing authors! First up, I will be moderating brilliant friend Callie Rowland’s launch of FIELDS OF ASPHODEL at A Novel Romance in Louisville on August 1 at 6:30 pm. Greek mythology romance girlies, you don’t want to miss this SONG OF ACHILLES X Howl’s Moving Castle romance.
Then, I am linking up with one of the baddest in the fantasy game, Hannah Whitten, to celebrate RELIQUARY, Hannah’s adult horror debut! Join us on August 14th at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Lexington, and listen to my interview with Hannah about writing horror on the Metaphysical Girl pod to get hype.
If you’ve read this far, I gift you with this adorable picture of Heathcliff, my newest little friend. He is not yet three months old, and he is a loverboy with a huge attitude who picked me out by leaping into my shoulders the moment I stepped into the humane society.
That’s all I have for you this week, dear reader! I’m going to spend the next few days powering trough TANGLED ROOTS revisions and steaming my dresses and packing my swag bags for tour. West coast, see you next week!
