I've been quietly lurking for a long time now, but I am over the moon to announce that I accepted a two-book deal with Sourcebooks and my debut novel, The Almost Things, will be released late 2022!!!!

I found out just before Christmas and I am still buzzing! It took me seven years and two manuscripts to reach this point. My older brother was a great source of support, he always wanted to know about my writing, and I was devastated to lose him two years ago this May. Every so often I think, "I have to call Dan and tell him!" but since I can't, this book will be dedicated to him.

Much love to everyone who is on this journey with me. <3

That is so cool! :hooray: :snoopy:

Gives me hope that the book I've been working on for [I've lost count] years might still succeed.

Thank you so much! It feels so surreal -- it was announced in Publisher's Marketplace on Monday, and I think I still have chills :) :) :)

I'm super late to the party, but congrats on the book deal! And I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. I'm sure he'd be super proud of you right now.

Well done. Few make it this far and I only know only one other person who got a book deal. All the best with the, eventual, launch.
