I can’t believe I forgot to share this here—I’M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!

VESUVIUS, my queer YA historical fantasy set in the final days of Pompeii, is coming summer 2025 from Peachtree Teen—my dream publisher! I’m still so overwhelmed that this happened so quickly. I can’t wait to share Felix and Loren with readers.

Add VESUVIUS on Goodreads!

The scary thing about Louis is that he always was the way he was, and the scary thing about Lestat is that he wasn’t

being a classicist in the modern age and having tons of digital access to source material is great but it does come with the downside that sometimes someone will ask me "who's making you smile at your phone like that ;)" and i have to be like publius vergilius maro from the 1st century bc

“Oh Louis, Louis. Still whining, Louis. Have you heard enough? I’ve had to listen to that for centuries.” | “Listen, Louis. There’s life in these old hands still. Not quite Furioso. Moderato? Cantabile, perhaps.” | “How can it be?” | “Ask the alligator. His blood helped. Then on a diet of the blood of snakes, toads, and all the putrid life of the Mississippi, slowly, Lestat became something like himself again. Claudia... You’ve been a very, very, naughty little girl.” | “Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are, none so like him as ourselves.”
