It’s a double-header Tuesday, the first of my career!

THE HOUSE OF GARDENIAS, my Gothic horror YA debut, is out now!

You can find it wherever books are sold in hardcover, audio, and ebook.

SOMETHING FOLLOWED US HOME, an anthology of Latine horror featuring my story “The Hand That Feeds,“ is out now! Simultaneously released in English AND Spanish, also available wherever books are sold.

The first week of hardcover sales is so important for a book’s success, almost as important as preorders. If you pre-ordered or have already picked up your copy of these books, I am deeply grateful. From the bottom of my heart. It’s because of readers like you that I get to make up characters (and put them in terrible situations) all day long. It is and has always been my dream job. Thank you so, so very much.

I hope to see you at Third Place Place Books (Lake Forest Park!) on Thursday Oct 1 at 7pm to celebrate the launch of THE HOUSE OF GARDENIAS! Margaret Owen has publicly declared that she will yell at me about how the novel ends! I’m going to wear a pretty dress for aforementioned public castigation and book signing! It’s going to be a riot!

love you all,
