Baby's first trade review! I'm so happy with this review for A Dagger of Lightning with Publishers Weekly that I'm tossing it into the bluesky void.

I was supposed to meet Julian for coffee this morning. We had to reschedule to next week due to the storm. The last time we met for coffee, it was warm, we sat outside, and I gave him a copy of Dagger.
If you like YA SciFi that makes you think, check out Julian's Memory Index duology.

⚡COVER REVEAL⚡

Let's get one thing straight: I am not your chosen one.

A DAGGER OF LIGHTNING is a fantasy romance with a spaceship on top, with fated mates, forbidden love, plenty of swashbuckling, and a bantery middle-aged protagonist.

Tennessee, calm the fuck down. Everything will melt by Monday, you don't need to purge the stores of bread and milk. Honestly everyone can likely 'survive' on what they already have. Just buy a(three) bottle(s) of wine and some cheese like us sensible hedonists. #FirstSnowOf2025

Thanks @yumewrites for checking out Dagger and giving it some love! I love the comparison to a glass of sparkling rose. 🗡️⚡🥂

2024 was a rough year. Struggled in writing, got laid off, publisher was sold months before my next book release, cat medical issues, husband medical debt, etc. On the Solstice an idea struck & I have written over 40,000 words. So I'm taking that as a sign. Things are turning around. Happy New Year!

Thanks to @matthewhubbard for tossing an awesome blurb my way! Dagger is available for preorder via the link in my bio.
If you enjoy glitter, gays, & vengence, you NEED to read Matthew's book The Last Boyfriends Rules for Revenge. There's even a friendship romance tucked inside.
