Thanks to everyone of you wonderful souls who has purchased, reviewed, talked about, and/or posted gorgeous pics of my latest book SMOKE! For those who couldn’t make it to the in-person, or virtual launch event, FRET NOT. My buds at Schuler Books have now shared the virtual launch of SMOKE, where I am in-conversation with the incredible & brilliant Kathleen Glasgow!!! (Seriously, it was such a delight chatting with her, it should be criminal.)

And if watching this whets your literary beak, you can order a signed, personalized copy (with pot puns aplenty!) HERE. I promise the puns alone are worth a few extra bucks. 😉

Heaps of gratitude & a bumper crop of love,

♥ Darcy

I was recently interviewed by the amazing Rachel Greco from the Lansing State Journal and I truly hope you’ll read this powerful article! It offers so much context and depth into the inspiration behind 𝕊𝕄𝕆𝕂𝔼 and why I wrote it. (Because when you write a novel featuring a teen who secretly grows a bumper crop of weed, people are bound to have Questions!)  I’m so proud of the candid way my father speaks of his experiences as a combat veteran. So proud of his resilience and courage.

Also? I WAS SO SHOCKED TO SEE THIS PIECE ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE PAPER!!! As a lifetime Michigander, born and raised in Lansing, this was such an incredible and surreal moment.

That special author moment when you get to hold your book baby for the first time! ♥ I mean, I mostly held it together? In fairness, it was a solid three YEARS of gestation so emoters gonna emote…

Just ONE MONTH (omg, how did this happen???) until SMOKE releases! So here’s yours truly reading the opening lines. I always adore books that begin with an ominous, anticipatory tease of things to come. Hopefully I succeed in raising a goosebump or two? If not, just know things are about to get very, very…intense.
