Reminder that in *less than a month(?!?!)* I will be speaking on a panel at THE StokerCon!

Come chat with me on Saturday, or catch me wearing strange and amusing outfits while I wander around like a Victorian wraith amongst innocent bystanders 🫶🫀

My Tennessean grandfather and Jimmy Carter were fishin' buddies.

Better men there never were. I hope they can meet up at the fishing hole in the sky. Float there, under the beating sun, their wives on the shore, waving eternal.

The way WandaVision is trending while I have a book comped to it–––

I'm launching query package and research services. Let me use my experience as a lit agent intern, in the query trenches, on sub, and in the library to make your life easier and your submission stand out in crowded inboxes!

I am so excited to announce that my book will be published in spring of 2025! So many people to thank, but I'll save those for the acknowledgements. For now, I'll just be here, internally screaming with joy.

Just a small update:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I have a literary agent!

Thrilled to announce I'm now represented by the indomitable Keir Alekseii | Updates, mostly at Azantian Literary (@jenazantian ). Keir's passion for my genderbending, antimonarchy court fantasy is unmatched and I couldn't have asked for a better champion.

My debut novel, IN THE COUNTRY I LOVE, is coming to Peachtree Teen!

The first YA Iraqi Shia book to hit the shelves ❤️

This book is for the kids who struggle with their faith & those who are desperate to cling on to it. And to the refugees trying to find home—wherever it may be

A few things you should know about me that are also random:
1) I save every bug inside my house that I find (incl. spiders!)
2) I'm constantly reevaluating where I stand in relation to others (whether I'm being kind, antir*cist, an ally, etc)
3) Always wired on coffee I fear

Damn they came for the throat but also *inconsistent*?? *IRRESPONSIBLE*????? Nay

Apparently we're posting screenshots of our IGs? Ok cool come follow me there!

She's here. She's in my hands. And May 21st she'll be out in the world. I've been working toward this moment for 14 years, yall. 🥹🥹🥹
