Come on over to my Instagram account to check out behind-the scenes writing content, photos of my inspirations for story settings and more. Plus: a look at what I’ve been reading lately! As a bookseller, I’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to check out some amazing upcoming books before they hit the shelves. I’d love to help you find your next read!

A peek at what you’ll find there …

 
Excited to find this one in the @booksandbooks bookseller ARC pile! It’s been a while since I’ve read @michaelkoryta (Scott Carson is his pseudonym) but I’ve really enjoyed everything I read of his so far. Bonus: This one involves a
This is very belated, but life has been crazy lately … I’m excited to announce that a few weeks ago, I was officially promoted to the Leadership Team at @booksandbooks. My focus is on merchandising, but I’m also helping guide/devel
To say this book destroyed me would be putting it mildly. What a devastating, breathtaking addition to the Hunger Games universe: full of romance and heartbreak, regret and mourning. Besides seeing the horrific Quarter Quell that molded Haymitch Abe
And just like that, the long goodbye is over. 😞 @simonekovacsauthor’s last night in Miami. We will miss you so much, Simone! So much that we tried to kidnap her (scroll to view attempt). Also, thanks to Publix for selling @danaswiftbooks the t

Gave myself a little reward today for finishing my dev edits: a trip to @deeringestate for Manatee Appreciation Day! 🌊 Luckily, the manatees got the memo and showed up to say hi. 👋🏻 Such a gorgeous day and a gorgeous place. It was lovely to just w
Gimme a high five! ✋🏻This is the happy face of an author who just turned in developmental edits to her agent! For those who aren’t also slogging through the (lengthy, traumatizing, exhilarating, heartbreaking, crazy) process of trying to get
@simonekovacsauthor’s last writing group at @booksandbooks 😭😭😭
It’s so hard for me to believe that a week from now, one of my best friends, @simonekovacsauthor, will no longer be in Miami. 😭 A fun night of dinner and drinks before I took custody of her giant plants. 😂 We will miss you so much, Simone. I
@whatmaddieread said this was great, but that it was best to go in knowing as little as possible. So I bought this today from @booksandbooks and I don’t even know a thing about it except that she recommended it. 😂
Big thanks to @flatiron_books / @pineandcedar_books for this lovely ARC haul! All three look so good … which to read first? 🤔
Working on a little art project today before work while I listen to SUNRISE ON THE REAPING. I’m totally invested so far … so happy to be out of my reading slump!
Excited to pick up my pre-ordered copy of @saratogaishere’s debut at @booksandbooks today! Sounds so good! Publisher’s notes: After her sister is murdered, a woman infiltrates a support group for serial killers in this biting queer femin
The happy face of a girl who just finished her developmental edits for her agent! (Don’t mind my wild hair, I’ve been holed up in my house all day.) My alpha reader is reviewing the changes over the next day or two, and then I’m go
I promised myself I’d finish my agent revisions today, and I fully plan to, but I’m exhausted from the past few weeks so I’m giving myself permission to rest with the newly released SUNRISE ON THE REAPING for a bit …
