Frequently Asked Questions

1. What do you write?

   I write sapphic books! Currently, most of my work is fantasy, but I also dabble in historical fiction and a little light sci-fi. I am the author of The Seafarer’s Kiss duology, a Norse myth inspired retelling of The Little Mermaid. My latest book, Ruinsong, is also high fantasy. It is a f/f romance that takes place in a world where magic is sung, ruled over by a tyrant queen and a quartet of goddesses. Currently, I am working on expanding into adult books. Watch this space!

2. Will you visit my school, library, or youth group?

   I would love to! I have lots of experience working with teens (ages 12-17) in schools and would be delighted to conduct a reading or a workshop with you. When I lived in Scotland, I worked with the Scottish Book Trust in many high schools. Especially if you are in the Seattle city, please get in touch. I also offer virtual visits.

3. Can I interview you?

   Yes! I am happy to hear from bloggers and members of the press with interview questions. I generally have a pretty fast response time, but please let me know in the initial email if you have a specific deadline in mind!

4. Who is your agent?

   I am represented by Eric Smith at Neighborhood Literary.

5. Will you read my book and give feedback?

   I do not run an editorial service at this time! In the past, I have mentored with both Pitch Wars and Author Mentor Match. If you are looking for an editor for your book, I recommend Katherine Locke and Kat Howard.

6. Will you refer me to your agent and or publisher(s)?

   I can’t refer books I haven’t read and will only recommend writers I think my agent would also enjoy working with. So unless we are critique partners or personal friends, and I know both you and your work, I can’t refer you to my agent or either of my publishers.

7. Will you blurb my book?

   If your book is under contract for publication and you think I might be interested in reading it, please contact me via my agent. I tend to like dark SFF and historical, with strong worldbuilding and unlikeable protagonists. If you are a queer author with a small press, please feel free to email me directly.

8. Will there be another book in The Seafarer’s Kiss series?

   At present, none are planned. The series was always planned as a duology, with one book from Ersel’s perspective and one from Ragna’s. But I never say never, so maybe someday I will revisit their world.

9. What happened to your Harmony Ink novellas? Where can I find them to read?

   Dreamspinner Press, the parent company of Harmony Ink, underwent financial challenges in 2018. These novellas are now out of print, at my request, as a result of these challenges. I don’t have any plans to self-publish these books.
