I can’t believe so many of you found my silly little book! Welcome! I can’t begin to describe how much you being here means to me. Allow me to introduce my book, ☀️🌱FORREST OF LEGENDS🌱✨ (Now querying) • #querying #amquerying #queryingauthors #fantasybooks #authorsoftiktok

Maybe there’s room for my book out there? 🫣 #bookishthoughts #bookishcommunity #booktok #readerthings #booktokfyp #bestbooktropes #booktropes #authortok #writertok #babyauthor #debutnovel #cleanfantasy

Yall its hard to be a fantasy girlie and find books without the occasional vampire thrown in there for funsies🫠 its not fun. Now I can’t read that book. So now im writing the books that I needed when I was younger and creating a safe place for everyone to enjoy✨ #booktok #bookish #bookdragon #bookrecs #yafantasybooks #yafantasybookrecs #fantasytok #fantasybookrecs #bestfantasybooks #romantasy #urbanfantasy #scififantasy #authortok #author #writertok #writer #writersoftiktok #cleanfantasy #christianfantasy #safebooktok #safeplace #escapism #fantasygirlie #booktokrecs #bookshelf

So I’m constantly scared🫣 #booktok #bookish #relatable #readerthings #writerthings

Not my usual post but what a wild day it’s been so far! Surprisingly I didn’t hear a thing but my poor dog did (he’s okay!) #clevelandmeteor #meteor #sonicboom #ohiometeor2026

These songs have been fueling all my creative endeavors recently🙌🏼 #writingabook #writingplaylist #writerthings #authorsoftiktok #authortok

Do I remember anything? Absolutely not. That just means I get to go through and reread the ones I marked as my favorite!🙈 #fantasybooks #booktok #bookish #relatable #cleanfantasy

Gotta be honest, it’s getting to me. But I got too many stories to write to give up now! #fantasybooks #authortok #amquerying #queryingauthors #writingupdate

Excuse my while I go sob over my own post😭 • Three years ago today, a month after I finished my rough draft of Legends, I lost my Ace the cat. The bond he and I had inspired so much of my writing, I see it bleeding through into other projects and books I’m working on. He is on every page, written into every line. Reading my book feels like coming home and reliving all those good memories. • But unlike Ace, these bonds are immortalized. I promise you, reader, that the dog will never d!e in these stories. #dragpath #fantasybooks #booktok #dragons #readerthings

Tired of the chosen one trope? Try refusal of the call. It’s LOTS of fun😂 #tropesilove #bookish #relatable #cleanfantasy #readerthings

So grateful to have found my readers🥹💕 Now if I can just find an agent to champion this project! #amquerying #queryingauthors #authorsoftiktok #fantasybooks #cleanfantasy

Is this a trope? Cuz if it is, it’s my new fav trope. #amquerying #fantasybooktok #cleanfantasy #femininerage #queryingauthors

It’s all fun and games until someone else reads it. Then it’s stress depressy lemon zesty #amquerying #authorsoftiktok #writertok #relatable #writingabook

*no shoulders were permanently injured in the making of this video* #fantasybookrecs #fantasybooktok #cleanfantasy #brandonsanderson #bookbestie

Probably the most interesting update yet!🙌🏼 #querying #queryingauthors #writertok #authorsoftiktok #amquerying

My mother in law’s inbox contains every version of my book at this point😭🙃 #fantasybooks #authorsoftiktok #writertok #querying #queryingauthors

He’ll genuinely try to understand and ask questions too and I just hit him with utter nonsense😂 #readerthings #booktok #bookishthings #readersoftiktok #relatable

Feminine rage 🤝🏼unstoppable powers #booktok #fantasybookrecs #femininerage #bookrecs #bookishthings

How long will you give a book or series a chance? Some people will not read past the first book unless it’s a stunner but I’m just not that person🫣 (Unless there are things I can’t in good conscience keep reading about) #booktok #cozyreading #readerthings #bookishthoughts #fantasybookrecs

Im feeling zesty what kinds of things do you dislike in books? #booktok #bookish #readerthings #bookicks #relatable

“Imagine not including the title” “I’m not going to follow you but I would’ve bought it, so you should’ve included the Amazon link. Js” These comments are WILD. Guys I’m not even a real author yet calm down😂 #cleanfantasy #booktok #authortok #writertok #bookishthoughts

Fun fact I was reluctant to look over my first draft cuz I thought it would be embarrassing. Wanna know what was actually embarrassing? Letting other people read a book in its worst form. e And it took me the better part of 10 years to get over that. Learn from my mistakes and don't be afraid of writing bad or even the revision process! Edit, revise and keep honing your craft. #amquerying #writercommunity #writertok #fantasybooks #authortok

I was re-reading my book and tell my why this was an actual word I found?😭 where was spellcheck when I needed it most? #bookishthoughts #authortok #writertok #relatable #librarylove

Nice try. No one will be seeing any of my opinions, only recommendations🌝 #cleanfantasy #booktok #bookishthoughts #fantasybooks #fantasybookrecs

And in Ohio that’s basically everyday so yeah safe to say I exceeded my reading goals this year🫠 #fantasybooks #booktok #bookishthoughts #cozyreading #librarylove
