She says, "YEEEEHAWWWW!!! Absolutely over the moon to announce that I'll be publishing not one, but *two* graphic novels with the fine folks at Random House Graphic!! "Hell on Wheels" is my rom-com love letter to the disabled community and "Super Moon Summer" is my best attempt at capturing the magic (and mayhem) of teenage girls. I hope you come to love these characters as much as I do and will mark your calendars for Summer 2027 and Spring 2029. Biggest of shoutouts to the dream team – my agent-extraordinaire, @ammi.joan.paquette, my editor and creative partner-in-crime, @alexlu_comics, and my RHG champion, @shanacorey – thank you for believing in these stories and in me."
