Chapter twelve of Grave Bell is up! And I think I forgot to announce when chapter eleven went up last week lol. It's also there!

Happy new year! I'm looking forward to what 2026 brings and hope it treats you all well! I'm back with some news today... :D
          
          First, if you haven't noticed, I've started a brand new story! It's called Grave Bell, a fantasy story in which the only way to gain magic is to die, and our main girl needs it if she's going to catch a spy in a magical academy. I'm hoping it will be ironically lighthearted compared to some of my more recent works. So far, I've had a blast writing it! The plan is to drop updates on Mondays, so add the book to your library if you're interested!

          Second... Crescent is getting published this year!!! I have been hard at work on it offline and currently plan to release it wide in the fall. Because of that, I am going to be pulling it from Wattpad TODAY. Thank you so much for all the love you have given this story! It quickly became one of my favorites I have ever written, and I can't wait to see where it goes from here. If you want to know more about the upcoming published version (changes, where will it be available, illustrations, etc), I will post an update about that soon--likely in the book itself.
          
          Thanks for sticking around!

I still live! Just wanted to say hi and apologize for my lack of posts. I've been very busy--my third book was published in April, I graduated from college and moved in May, and I've been settling back into life and work since---but I'm still writing! I'm currently getting Crescent ready for publishing (and hoping to release it in fall of 2026, so stay tuned!).
          
          Because of this, Wattpad has sort of taken a back seat. I still read your comments and am very thankful for everyone who is still reading, enjoying, and leaving thoughts and messages on my books! I have some projects in the works that I hope to be able to share here soon, but as of now I don't know when that will be. I can say I'm juggling a sequel to Buried in the Sea and a new story set in the world of Crescent... If either of those things interest you, stick around!
          
          And if you missed it, I competed in the ONC this year (which feels like a lifetime ago, honestly) and was shortlisted! If you like dark fantasy, creepy mirrors, and a spiral into insanity, you should check out Silvering. It's a very short read--and it's complete! ;)
