Cover reveal!!! Super excited to share the cover for SOULMATES, my YA horror-romance graphic novel debut releasing August 4, 2026 with MacMillan/Roaring Brook (@fiercereads ).

You can pre-order it today (links in my bio). If you pre-order from @learnedowl (Hudson, OH) or @blackcatmedina (Medina, OH) you'll get a limited letter-pressed print (while supplies last) and support local book stores! Who doesn't love that? See the print in the last slide!

Thank you to Daniel Lazar and Kate Meltzer for getting this thing (318 pages of story and and art) to see the light of day and thank you to @steveponzo for the awesome cover design!

Feel free to share this post, add the book on Goodreads, and/or pre-order today! Thanks!!!

In the back of the Soulmates book there is a playlist from Emma to Kit. It's all the songs I listened to while writing the book. Figured I would share them with you!

Happy birthday to the big dog herself @mistywilsonwrites ! Not only can she write bestselling books, she's always inventing new ways to sit in stores and is a master of sleeping at any time of the day. Also, she's good at getting her tiny fingers in a car engine to change a light bulb. A true talent in all forms! by @downpourdw
