Today was supposed to be the last day of this deal, but I'm extending it until the 14th, which is the last day to pay my back rent before they start pursuing eviction. I really need a place to live, especially given how bad Minnesota winters are. Please get in contact with me if you need an editor.
To celebrate the end of a truly awful year and the beginning of one that we all hope will be a million times better, I'm offering 50% off on my edits!
I have openings as early as March, so DM or email me (gabrielhargraveauthor@gmail.com) to book today!

We’re in the same boat when it comes to genres. When people ask what I write, it almost sounds like I’m giving the “wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey” speech. LOL!
Then you will *love* the 3rd book. Dorian is the most Dorian he’s ever been, just with the added bonus of therapy and respect for boundaries. 🤣

I would like to read this yesterday, thanks. LOL! I have such a soft spot for gaslamp fantasy.
And I’m so glad you liked it! I only had one alpha or beta reader guess the twist, and she was actually just making a joke, so when it happened, she was, like, “Gabe? What? No! No, I was kidding! What?” 🤣
