Not only did we dive into her upcoming projects (including the book she dropped just DAYS ago 😱), but we also got a front-row seat into how her characters are born, the passion that fuels her writing, and even the exact music she vibes to while creating her magic.

We’re beyond ecstatic to have her at Shadows & Seduction, and when we say run, don’t walk to her table… we mean it. The amount of special editions this woman is bringing? Absolutely unhinged...in the BEST way. 🫣👀
