POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

File 450 was checked again this morning.

There was something inside that wasn’t there before.

An envelope.

No postage.

No return address.

No recipient name.

Just three typed words:

TO THE WITNESS.

Nobody remembers placing it inside the file.

The evidence log doesn’t record its arrival.

And before anyone asks:

No.

It hasn’t been opened.

Yet.

UNSOLICITED CORRESPONDENCE 001

Status: Pending Review.

My friends at @getunderlined and @loveunderlined invited me to celebrate the upcoming release of #CarnivalFantastico at the cutest speakeasy in San Francisco with @angelamontoya_author herself! I had a magical time hanging out with her and so many fellow Bay Area Book lovers!

I'll be sharing more on pub day 2/3 but had to give y'all a chance to get those last minute preorders in!

My 2025 Year in Review - Author Edition 🎆

It's been a beautiful year filled with one publication, copious rounds of edits on two separate books, the @phillybookcrawl, a podcast appearance with @booksenvogue, a special edition, great bookish friends (online and off), and percolating ideas.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of my writing journey in 2025. Looking forward to seeing what's next in 2026!

I had such a great time on this BART takeover and I can’t wait for the next one. If you needed a sign to just throw an event.. let this be it! Creating space for readers to just ✨be✨ is such a blessing!
