Friendly Ghost 👻 National Bestselling Author of THE RETURN, CACKLE, SUCH SHARP TEETH, BAD DOLLS, BLACK SHEEP + SO THIRSTY out 9.10.24 | HWA | {she/her}
Went to an eclectic art gallery today where I spotted this clown coin bank. This is my THIRD sighting of a nearly identical clown bank. Saw the first in the historic gallery of the bank I worked at & then happened upon another a few months later on the street.
I'm in trouble.
Thirsty?🩸😜
I've honestly been having the time of my life writing this book & I'm so excited to share it with you! + another one after that!! No rest for the wicked🖤

One time my husband woke up in the middle of the night & asked me “Is the song the monster mash or is it about the monster mash?” then went right back to sleep
Was on a podcast yesterday talking about the importance of shooting your shot so…should back it up and follow through…

THE RETURN came out three years ago today. Thank you to everyone who has read & shared this book. I'm forever grateful 💕
And if you thought this one went places, just wait...😈
When I first came to this city & saw The Little, I thought “oh yeah I could live here.”
When I lived downtown I walked past it everyday & it never got old, felt like magic every time.
I love movies. I love seeing movies here. I love movie theaters, this one most of all 🤩💕🐺

My husband was talking to me about Gwyneth Paltrow putting her guest house on Airbnb for free and I said I wouldn’t want to go, “She’d be like, here’s this weird salad.”
And he said, “Thats how I feel about you sometimes.”
Oh geez, oh geez!! I'm so incredibly honored!! And so woefully unprepared!!
I really don't know what to say. Wow. Thank you🖤
Gotta run & tell Ralph 🕷️🥹
All right drop all your Hive names plz!!
I can find but cannot be found. I am a woman of mystery. I live in the shadows. I am probably incapable of using this new app.
Thank you, Rae. I cannot understate the courage it takes to come forward. It's extraordinary. You have all my support, all our support.
I've thought a lot about what I want to say about this, but ultimately I'm struggling.
If anyone needs to talk, my DMs are open.
So I was on NPR!!! 🤓
I’d say I feel fancy but I was so nervous for this interview there was nothing fancy about it😅
🚨🚨if you want to go into BLACK SHEEP & be completely surprised, save this interview for after as we get into some spoiler territory🖤

Next Halloween: I don’t know but I’m excited to find out!! Here’s looking at you 2024 horror 🖤
Goodreads editors listed BLACK SHEEP as one of the upcoming books they can't wait to read!
They called it a "big fall book" so I turned to my last remaining ARC with a cigar in my mouth and said, "Ya hear that? Ya gonna be big! Ya gonna be a star!"
heard a rumor that TODAY is the last day to make recs for the Stokers!
HWA, go rec your 2023 favorites 🖤📨
PS. if you enjoyed BLACK SHEEP, it's eligible in the novel category & if there was one, the c*ntiest protagonist category

I’m 2 hours in to a 7 hour train ride & the entire time so far the guy behind me has been on the phone trying to convince his GF he didn’t send a dick pic to another girl.
Have to say, it’s not going super well for him.
