It was very important to me to write a story where a girl who stims, gets overwhelmed, has some stumbles socially, still gets to be the three-dimensional hero of her own story. There are vampires, ghosts, magic, witchcraft, and the Nightmare Born, creatures who look appear human and will steal your heart&#8230;literally. I&#8217;m so thrilled to be partnering with Radish on this. Keep an eye out for a promotional giveaway that will include one of a kind, original art by me!<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;you can see why I&#8217;ve been pretty busy lately!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also super excited to announce that I&#8217;ll be a guest on the Snark Squad podcast this Halloween, talking about (what else)\u00a0<em>Buffy The Vampire Slayer<\/em> Halloween episodes!
