If you can’t get enough dark psychology, weird human behavior, and true crime phenomena (and you’re invested in meaningful mental health dialogue), I think you’ll love my content.

And if you love twisty, psychologically rich suspense with social commentary, follow along for all the updates on my debut novel, Kept in the Dark. by @made.of.light.and.shadow

Even though I compared them to each other, all six of these books are actually brilliant, propulsive, unexpected, relevant and thrilling in their own ways:
None of This Is True - Lisa Jewell
The Guest List - Lucy Foley
Wrong Place Wrong Time - Gillian McAllister
Yellowface- R.F. Kuang
One of Our Kind - Nicola Yoon
Best Offer Wins - Marisa Kashino

Sending this out to everyone who has the courage (or is looking for the courage) to try something new. #create #dream #goforit #changingforthebetter #yougotthis by @made.of.light.and.shadow

From In a Dark, Dark Room by Alvin Schwartz. This 80s/90s children’s book and this story within it are the reason Millennials love horror.

If you like your books a little dark, you’ll love my suspense novel, Last Seen on Libertie Island.

Follow for launch details and more dark (and sometimes light) content.

Having fun with rejection. Thanks @nicoledalcourtwrites for the therapeutic idea! Not as funny as yours, but I enjoyed it. by @made.of.light.and.shadow

I know my dream agent is out there—and just as thirsty for my story as Poppy is for that ball. (Hopefully she’s less slobbery, though.)
Five more queries sent today for LAST SEEN ON LIBERTIE ISLAND.
