I would really love to edit a Greek myth and folklore anthology written by Greek, diaspora and BIPOC authors. If any publishers or powers that be are listening. I’m shooting my shot.

So thrilled to be interviewed by Michelle over at @geeksout.bsky.social where I got to talk about Vile Lady Villains, Greek mythology, my writing process and my obsessions. (And said the words “Doctor Who” enough times to qualify for a drinking game.) Check it out! www.geeksout.org/2026/07/31/i...

Queries update: I’ve responded to every query in my inbox! If I have requested your full or partial and you haven’t heard from me yet, rest assured I’m still considering. (So! Much! Talent! Out there!) I’m hoping to respond to all submissions by the end of August/before I reopen in September.

Last day to preorder the VILE LADY VILLAINS paperback for less!

Surprise!! One of the several (👀 both author and agent 👀) secrets I’ve been keeping is that the Vile Lady Villains UK paperback edition comes out in October! And it’s part of the @waterstones 25% off campaign so you can get it for less until tomorrow 🖤 Also, preorders help authors immensely.

This summer has been so weird so far; hesitant in many ways, delusionally bold in others. So many dreams and adventures feel out of reach while new quests arise. The guardian of this particular portal is cute and can be brided with treats and pets. “You shall pass,” he declares, and flops over.

I am contractually obligated to tell you that Vile Lady Villains is currently almost 50% off on the UK ‘Zon, so if you want to give a book by a Greek author a try, do with that information what you will: www.amazon.co.uk/Vile-Lady-Vi...

You know what, I may have 99 problems but the second I manage to tie my hair nice and tight in a sensory pleasing way so that it doesn’t touch my face or my neck, for these 5 glorious minutes before the tension headache starts seeping in, I AM UNSTOPPABLE

The Odyssey, a film about Greek mythology with zero Greek actors in it comes out this Friday, and listen I’ve had more than a year to make my peace with this. (I even wrote an essay about it last year. It was longlisted for a BSFA award.)

Buffy considering whether the treats are enough to get her out of bed. Same, Buffs, same.
