Witchcraft. Revenge. A badass teen coven. Meet th Witchcraft. Revenge. A badass teen coven. Meet the cover of FOR GIRLS WHO WALK THROUGH FIRE, my debut YA novel coming September 26. Which is available for pre-order and to add on Goodreads! (Links in bio) Huge thanks to my agent @kathygreenlit and to @unionsqandco. And thank you @kattphatt for creating an 🔥amazing 🔥cover. THOSE WHO WOULD SUPPRESS AND DESTROY YOU STAND NOT A CHANCE WHEN CONFRONTED WITH THE POWER THAT LAYS WITHIN THESE PAGES… Elliott D’Angelo-Brandt is sick and tired of putting up with it all. Each week, she attends a support group for teen victims of sexual abuse and assault, but all they do is talk. Elliott’s done with talking. What she wants is justice. And she has a plan for getting it: a spell book that she found in her late mom’s belongings that actually works. Elliott recruits a coven of fellow survivors from the group. She, Madeline, Chloe, and Bea don’t have much in common, but they are united in their rage at a system that heaps judgments on victims and never seems to punish those who deserve it. As they each take a turn casting a hex against their unrepentant assailants, the girls find themselves leaning on each other in ways they never expected—and realizing that revenge has heavy implications. Each member of the coven will have to make a choice: continue down the path of magical vigilantism or discover what it truly means to claim their power. For Girls Who Walk Through Fire is a fierce, deeply moving novel about perseverance in the face of injustice and the transformational power of friendship. #yaauthor #witchbooks #writingjourney #forgirlswhowalkthroughfire
Wow, this gorgeous book was everything I wanted it Wow, this gorgeous book was everything I wanted it a witchy feminist tale. And the Eastwood sisters, as they take on the patriarchy and rewrite the narrative, were everything I wanted in fierce female characters. Highly recommend this book (and all writing) by @alix.e.harrow . #witchbooks #onceandfuturewitches

@cynthiafrenette is a gosh darn genius and when I @cynthiafrenette is a gosh darn genius and when I asked her if I could hire her to create new art for my website I’m lucky enough that she said yes. I freaking LOVE what she came up with and now want bookmarks and tote bags and posters and journals and maybe some wallpaper? Is wallpaper overkill? Gah! You’re the best, Cynthia! Thank you for creating something that feels alive with wild, creative energy and also aligns with my memento mori obsession (see also my tattoo). 💀🔥
One day my children will be asked, “How did you One day my children will be asked, “How did you celebrate your mom on Mother’s Day? Did you get her flowers? Candy? Gifts?” “No,” they’ll say, “We took her to the cemetery.”But, listen, I love Greenwood Cemetery! And I love that this is becoming our annual tradition ❤️💀 And this year I couldn’t help but notice all the graves for women who lost children, or who died in child birth. A very stark reminder of how lucky we are every moment we are still here. Also, you can’t walk past a grave like that last one with a 9-year-old and NOT let them read it aloud.
