Come see me! + a special edition & last reminders

Tour dates, a virtual event, a special edition, and a last reminder before ROLL is out in the world!

This year has been UTTER CHAOS, but here I am, your local wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man, emailing you one last time (probably) before ROLL FOR LOVE releases into the world. There are some ridiculously exciting new things in this newsletter, including some sneak peeks of secret things, and I hope you’ll be as thrilled as I am!

How I feel on the internet these days.

Sprayed edges! *incoherent screaming*

In one of the coolest things to ever happen in my author life, Dazzling Bookish Shop just announced they are doing a Dazzling Edition of ROLL FOR LOVE with this incredible edge art by Clara Roux. It says sold out right now because the drop is on March 7 at 6pm ET, but I wanted to make sure y’all knew it was coming. Set an alarm!

Truly just speechless. SO PRETTY. SO EXCITED.

Come see me on tour!

I’m only doing a handful of events for ROLL FOR LOVE and ALL FIRED UP, and I would love to see y’all out in the world!

Details to come, but there'll be snacks, there'll be D&D stuff, there'll be good times! Book sales provided by Bluebird Bookstop; preorder here!

ALL FIRED UP launch event, in conversation with Sara Raasch
Tuesday, April 29th at 6:30pm
Fountain Bookstore in Richmond, VA
Come celebrate my debut adult romance novel and meet the incredible Sara Raasch, author of the Royals and Romance series among other bangers. Reserve a copy of the book for the event here. (Please note that this book is not YA, and family should absolutely not read it or attend this event, haha.)

I may still add a few more events, so keep an eye on my Events page, Instagram, and Bluesky. I’m gonna try to get out to NYC and Philly later this year, so if that’s something you’re interested in, let me know your favorite venue!

Free stickers for Library Requesters and all preorders (Int’l and US)

Finally, this is the last time I’ll remind you that you can get these adorable stickers for free just by putting in a purchase request at your local library for ROLL FOR LOVE. You can also get them by preordering, and I have options for both international and US/CAN folks.

Here’s how you get them:

1. Preorder ROLL FOR LOVE from the retailer of your choice. (If you want your copy to be signed and/or personalized, you can preorder from Bluebird Bookstop.)

2a. U.S. preorders: Fill out this form hosted by Running Press Kids and upload a picture of your receipt.
2b. Canadian preorders: Head to the same form but follow the instructions for emailing.
2c. International preorders and library requesters: Fill out this form instead.

3. Wait for your absolutely adorable stickers to arrive in the mail! Running Press seems to be shipping them out as they come in, so you might even get them before the book.

The deadline is Monday, April 7, 2025 at 11:59pm ET, so don’t wait too long!

All Fired Up still exists!

Yep, I still don’t know how to talk about this book, especially when ROLL FOR LOVE is getting much more song and dance to yell about. But ALL FIRED UP is launching my career in a whole other genre/age category—adult romance—and it matters. A lot.

I’m working on Book 2 right now (due in 2 weeks, ahhhhhh) and if you can keep a secret, I’ll tell you that the title is… Just Grow with It. I might like it even more than the first book. (The punny title is Rosiee Thor’s fault. I love it.)

Support my friends, too!

These books by my wonderful friends are also making their way into the world this year and they’re good, too. I hope you’ll give them a look!

Homegrown Magic is “a delightful queer romantic fantasy full of friends-to-lovers chemistry, found family, rival family drama, and cozy garden magic.”

The Leaving Room is “a hauntingly beautiful, ultimately hopeful novel-in-verse about a girl in between life and death, by National Book Award Finalist Amber McBride.”

That Devil, Ambition is “thrilling stand-alone fantasy about the lengths we'll go to get ahead—an incredibly fresh, twisty love letter to dark academia...with a body count.”

Dead & Breakfast is a cozy mystery featuring married odd-couple vampire husbands who must solve a murder to prove that the only thing they bite into is delicious baked goods.

Do those not all sound INCREDIBLE? Truly, the rest of your reading year is stacked with literary riches. Don’t miss these incredible titles!

Finally:

Something exciting happened last week.

I hope I’ll be getting to announce that new middle grade trilogy soon!

Be well, my friends. Stay safe, sane, and activated in these dangerous times—and keep an eye on that book banning supreme court case. It’s gonna be a big deal for kids & teen books.
