PODCAST INTERVIEW: Spread Your Wingspan Podcast

PODCAST INTERVIEW: Spread Your Wingspan Podcast

I had the amazing honor of being the first author interview on the Spread Your Wingspan Podcast! Hosts Jennie and Sara were super fun to talk to, and I got to nerd out about my favorite parts of the worldbuilding, and explain why I made some of the narrative and tropey choices that I did. I love getting to talk craft!

Listen to the book review here, and listen to the author interview here.

APPEARANCE: Wild Writers Literary Festival

APPEARANCE: Wild Writers Literary Festival

I will be in Waterloo, Ontario at the Wild Writers Literary Festival in November! The festival was founded by The New Quarterly, The Balsillie School of International Affairs, and Words Worth Books.

Over the past few years, romantasy has taken the reading world by storm, but what is it about this genre that has readers coming back for more? Join romantasy authors Nicki Pau Preto, Shade Lapite, and J.M. Frey for an illuminating discussion on how romantasy frames love as a force for claiming, wielding, and fighting power while allowing us to speak more boldly about our human vulnerabilities. Moderated by Haley Down.

Get Your Ticket

Copies of my novel “Nine-Tenths” will be available for purchase.

APPEARANCE: Toronto International Festival of Authors

I am delighted to say that I am returning to TIFA this year to moderate a panel on Saturday November 1st at 1:30pm!

You can find more information about the festival and tickets here. I’m not certain whether any of my books will be available for purchase at the festival bookshop, as I’m moderating and not appearing as a guest technically, but feel free to bring anything you want signed!

See you there!

About the Panel

Two groundbreaking authors come together to discuss how their new works push the boundaries of imagination and storytelling. Acclaimed South Korean writer Bo-Young Kim will discuss her celebrated collection, I’m Waiting for You: And Other Stories, which blends speculative wonder with emotional depth, weaving tales of love, time, and human connection across galaxies. Jacquelyn Zong Li Ross, whose striking debut The Longest Way to Eat a Melon offers an intimate exploration of memory, identity, and the fragile beauty of daily life. Hear about the inspirations behind these works, the art of writing across cultures and genres, and the shared themes that resonate between their books.
