I'm so thrilled to share that my novel, THE HAUNTING OF LAVENDER HOUSE, will be published by @parkrowbooks in fall 2026!!! Truly a dream come true. If a Gothic Romance set on a Croatian island sounds intriguing, then this is the book for you. 🪻 #2026debuts #WritingCommunity

[RTs 💖] Hello, not to get personal on here, but my mom had to undergo heart surgery recently and I’m in need of funds to help cover some of the medical bills. I made all my flash tattoos available again on my Ko-fi if you’re interested. Thank you! 🙏✨ https://t.co/M7plPHz7Wg
