I finally got my signed copy of Your Favorite Scary Movie by @ashley_cullins! 🔪🖤📖

Did I already own a copy? Yes. Did I absolutely need a signed copy? Also yes. Especially when it’s a book about Scream👻

Ashley is a local author and this is her very first book, which makes it even cooler. As someone who has been working on a book of her own, this is such an inspiration🤍

Stumbled upon an entire table of Your Favorite Scary Movie at the Barnes & Noble in Oak Park. It absolutely made my day! So I signed all of these (and a few more that were on the shelf). ❤️🔪📕

Sometimes we feel grateful—but the person never hears it. ❤️

Today, make your thank-you specific:
“I noticed you helping.”
“Thank you for checking on me.”
“You brought some joy to my day.”

To everyone sending pictures of your book arriving: thank you. Those moments have given me a reason to smile.

Who made your week a little lighter—and what did they do?

Small steps. Lasting legacy.

With the release of my book, I also have a few events coming up.

October 3, 2026: Release event and signing. @bnoakparkil from 1-4 PM. I will have a table and be signing books and talking to people. I will also have some goodies to hand out.

October 15, 2026: Witchy Reads Panel. @bnoakbrook at 6PM. I will be in conversation with author Lana Harper about writing, witchcraft, and books. Signing will happen after.

October 24, 2026: Spooky Book Fair. St Louis Haunted Mansion from noon-4PM. I’ll have a table and books to sell as well as some free goodies.

If you want to support me and plan to come to any of these events, please purchase the book at the event. For the B&N events you can call ahead and reserve a copy if you worry we’ll run out. It does help the store know to stock it.

I’m so excited to share that @bydonmartin has done it again! Not only did Verity Vox and the Curse of Foxfire hit the NY Times Bestseller List when it came out, and not only was it a finalist for the Barnes & Noble Children’s and YA Award, it’s also the Barnes & Noble Monthly YA Pick for September! Over 700 B&N stores have set up these glorious displays.

The team at @pagestreetpublishing
worked incredibly hard designing these beautiful signs, inviting readers to come into the world of Foxfire. I mean, check out that welcome sign – complete with the rules for surviving an Appalachian wood! And can you see that Verity’s dress is actually tulle, with sparkles! And look at that shiny leaf garland!

Barnes & Noble has signed paperback editions, as well! They have all been added as special tip-in pages for the paperback edition, with beautiful leaf art on the signature page. Go check it out!

A wonderful #MommyDaughterDateNight with Quantrice Norah back in our old stomping grounds of Oak Park to hit up our favorite restaurant there and check out the Barnes & Noble (formerly the Borders bookstore back when we lived there) 🥳🎈🎂🎊🎁🧁🎉🍰

🧹I’M GOING ON TOUR! 🍁

The traditional gift for a first anniversary is paper…like a paperback release of Verity Vox and the Curse of Foxfire! Inside every first edition is a leaf with a warning…and my signature! (I signed 28,000 of these things…some of them even have an extra special handwritten message from me!) There’s also an exclusive sneak peek of Verity Vox 2!

There are a few more surprises I can’t reveal until September, but I hope you’ll hop on your brooms and come celebrate with me!

Thank you, @bnoakparkil, for a lovely signing yesterday! I enjoyed meeting so many wonderful readers. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, and thank you to Court and the other employees for being so welcoming! I left signed bookplates and bookmarks, so if you get your copy of THE MORTAL ENEMY MURDER CLUB from there, it'll come with swag while supplies last! And I left signed stock of THE EX-GIRLFRIEND MURDER CLUB, EX MARKS THE SPOT, and WHEN YOU WISH UPON A LANTERN, all with swag!

Upcoming book events through September 🌿

So excited to be returning to both YA Midwest and the Meet Me On North Romance Book Crawl this year! More details on where to find me to come, but I'll be on 3 panels for YA Midwest with a signing to follow, and if you want to secure copies of my fairy tale retellings for the romance book crawl, you can preorder them individually or as a bundle from The Well Red Damsel.

Thanks @andersonsbookshop @thewellreddamsel and @mkebooksbeers for the invites 💕

And if a festival isn't your thing, you can also find me at B&N table signings across the Chicago area!
