My debut novel, FACE THE NIGHT, has been named one of the 100 Best Indie Books of the Year by @KirkusReviews!
I'm incredibly honored. After a starred review earlier this year, I knew they liked the book, but this?! This is amazing!

That good news I got two days ago?
My tv/film rights are now represented by @frankel_alec at IAG, including rights for my Hoffer Award winning debut, FACE THE NIGHT!
I'm very excited for the future of this little story, and how it might translate to the big screen.

Just updated my personal publishing award shelf. 😍
"The Fort" (2020), Face the Night (2022), OBSOLESCENCE (2023)... I may be slow with my own work, but I'm happy it's connecting with readers.

My debut novel, FACE THE NIGHT, was released 2 years ago today! 🎉
And while I hoped it would be the start of a writing career, it ended up being the start of an entire publishing career. I could not be more thankful for the readers and writers I've met since. 🤍

My debut novel, FACE THE NIGHT, just hit 150 ratings! 🎉
Not bad for a little self-pub'ed book I released before knowing anything about how to release a book.
This was also the launching point for Shortwave. I learned so much that I wanted to put to use helping other authors.

"The most consistent nano graph I’ve ever seen! 😂" — @KristinaHorner
This was the first draft of my first book ever, and the book that eventually became FACE THE NIGHT!
Still my biggest personal accomplishment (now to do it again some day 😅).

Very happy to share I joined the @sfwa as a Full Member today!
I started with a focus on horror (@HorrorWriters Active Member), but even my debut novel, FACE THE NIGHT, leaned into dark fantasy and most of my writing since incorporates sci-fi.
Excited for the journey ahead! 🎉

If you missed the latest @HorrorWriters Newsletter, I've recently joined the HWA Membership Committee!
I started reviewing and approving applications a few months ago, including a few apps from authors I've published who used Shortwave's payments to qualify (how cool is that?!).

Just got the print issue in the mail!
In addition to reprinting their starred review in its entirety, @KirkusReviews also called out FACE THE NIGHT in this sidebar discussing a renewed interest in indie horror! How cool!

Oh wow! FACE THE NIGHT not only made the banner, it's in the freakin' spotlight!
A huge thank you to @KirkusReviews for their kind words and support (and starred review!) of my debut novel.
