Greetings, dear meows!

I am soooo behind on my food blogs these days. However it’s for a good reason. My debut novel, The Creepy Culinary Adventures of Nia Luna will be available worldwide 9/13/25 on Amazon in kindle, paperback, and hardcover!

I’m absolutely excited to finally be at the home stretch with it. Over 6 years in the making. And honestly, I’m very proud of what I’ve written and hope that it connects with those it’s meant to.

Told with humor, heart, and a dash of kitchen witchery, the story follows Nia Luna (my daughter), a curious and neurodivergent girl who stumbles upon an enchanted cookbook, the Grimoire Gastronomicon. As she unravels its secrets, Nia finds herself whisked into a culinary underworld of forgotten ingredients, haunted pantries, and mischievous food creatures—all while navigating sensory sensitivities, stimming rhythms, looping thoughts, and the beautiful rituals that make her different.

I wanted to give my daughter—and others like her—a story where neurodivergence is seen as a superpower, Nia doesn’t just save the day in spite of her differences, she succeeds because of them.

The Creepy Culinary Adventures of Nia Luna is perfect for readers aged 9 to 13—and for adults who still believe in magick, midnight snacks, and the power of being yourself.

Who the flip knows where this is going to go. But my hope is that it gives meows a taste of what autism looks like for us, how we live our life and express ourselves through magick, the macabre, being adventurous, and our shared love of cooking and food.

And with that I shall leave you until it’s time feast. So set your cauldrons for Saturday, September 13th when the book is finally ready to be served! And thank you from the bottom of my black little heart 🖤

Cheers. hugs, and meows!
