SO LET THEM BURN is an Indie Bestseller! If I could send a thank you basket to every indie bookseller in the country, I would, but all I can do is this: you are one of the pillars of the literary community. Thank you for seeing me, and seeing SLTB. I will be forever grateful 💜

i just don't think i'll ever get tired of fantasy novels. contemporary and urban, historical and gothic, high, low, epic, and everything in between. i love magic systems. i love worldbuilding. i love magical creatures. i love retellings!

Jamaican artist Taj Francis did this for me, and I couldn't love it more! The smoky swirls of power! The dragons flying around her head! Her braids and the city in the top right! The way she's staring at you like she's ready to start shit! I love my cover so much!!!

i love being reminded again and again that magic exists. good can triumph over evil. anyone from any corner of the kingdom can wear the crown. because we can create worlds that make it so, and after we turn the final page we can fight for that world in our every day lives.
