This is me and this is my latest book, WE MADE IT ALL UP, a small-town murder mystery about two girls who write fanfic that becomes all too real! #YAauthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/ARYOZMbpSx

I’m so here for spooky season. I love horror. What was the first spooky book you ever read that kept you up at night? 🎃👻💀📚

This is one of my first spooky reads. These tales of the weird and unexplained creeped me out when I was a kid! #YAauthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/msv0Q6LWL6

And here’s one of my fave creepy authors when I was a kid—Lois Duncan. I’m so proud to share a publisher with her now! #YAauthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/XebZ08Eg24

In WE MADE IT ALL UP, a Halloween party ends in an accident that leads to a murder. Do you remember your first 🎃 party? #YAauthorTakeover
— #Rina, HSMTMTS, Joshua Bassett, Michael Cimino (@YoungEntmag) October 6, 2022
My first Halloween costume that I remember was a homemade bat costume. I wore all black except for a pair of pink flowered slippers. 😅 #YAauthorTakeover

I wrote my first scary story when I was 8. My brain went creepy places even back then. (I couldn’t spell too well though. 😁) #YAauthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/LWPbhZrwVD

What’s the first really scary horror movie you ever saw? Mine was Poltergeist when I was 12, and I couldn’t sleep that night. 👻😨 #YAauthorTakeover

Here is the first (possibly) haunted house I ever visited! I was with a team of ghost hunters, at midnight. #YAauthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/zM6u4jjm5U

The maybe-haunted house is Wilson Castle in Vermont, and it was one of the inspirations for Vivvy’s creepy Victorian house in WE MADE IT ALL UP. #YAauthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/CfQLCtK5WQ

In WE MADE IT ALL UP, big-city girl Celeste moves to a small town for the first time. #YAauthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/6gYe3QBrld
— #Rina, HSMTMTS, Joshua Bassett, Michael Cimino (@YoungEntmag) October 6, 2022
This is the first friend Celeste meets: “quirky girl” Vivvy, who’s full of exciting & dangerous schemes. #YAauthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/iQuhwCJPJR

This boy might just give Celeste her first real kiss. 💋 At the town 🎃 party. (Character art is by Emily Rhain Andrews!) #YAauthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/vL3ThLomi3
— #Rina, HSMTMTS, Joshua Bassett, Michael Cimino (@YoungEntmag) October 6, 2022
But Celeste may also just have made her first real enemy. #YAauthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/lsxWvA6whj

This is the first character art I’ve ever commissioned. Which of these people looks to you like a potential murderer??? #YAauthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/GiF7SS4BFh

This is my first book, THE KILLER IN ME, about a girl hunting a serial killer who’s in her dreams every night. It has a creepy cave in it, just like WE MADE IT ALL UP. #YAauthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/zcdMr0x4VD
— #Rina, HSMTMTS, Joshua Bassett, Michael Cimino (@YoungEntmag) October 6, 2022
This is the first cave I ever really explored, and yes, I was scared! #YAauthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/9uVIf3sRUY

Are you dressing up this Halloween? As who or what? #YAauthorTakeover
— #Rina, HSMTMTS, Joshua Bassett, Michael Cimino (@YoungEntmag) October 6, 2022
Guess which horror movie heroine I dressed as for this video. (She is a little unstable? 😳) #YAauthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/12op7BACqP
