Cover reveal! Huge thank you to @grey0295.bsky.social for the beautiful cover art for my adult faerie tale retelling, MY THORNS FOR YOUR ROSES.

I’ll post updates before release date on April 14th, 2026 with @conquestpublishing.bsky.social

Two people are facing one another. On the left is Tamlin, who is tall with long, wavy brown hair with primroses in it. The faerie wears a plaid in various shades of green with leafy embellishments. Tamlin’s smiling down at the woman, gently holding her chin with his thumb. Lark, the woman on the right, has long, tawny hair tied halfway back with a thin ribbon, a white rose behind her left ear. She wears a long sleeved dress in a sandy color and holds a basket full of flower in the crook of her arm. Lark is looking up at Tamlin. The two are surrounded by rose bushes in pastel colors. The image is framed in black with an intricate bronze border. In the foreground there is the title in white letters with purple borders: “My Thorns For Your Roses” with the author’s name “Kristen Argyres” below. In small text above the woman, next to the man’s head are the words “The Cairnwood Reel Series.”

one of the reasons I think it's hard to believe Catherine O'Hara died is because she was this super rare combination of both poise and chaotic energy and so she didn't seem to have a physical age; she was just oscillating between 40 and 17 and 60 at all times.

Macaulay Culkin pays tribute to ‘Home Alone’ mom Catherine O'Hara:

“Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you but I had so much more to say. I love you. l'Il see you later.”

Early reviews are coming in for The First Widows on NetGalley… so far so good! However, many are mentioning they didn’t realize it is part of a series. Truth is you ca read each book individually or together. 😉 Works both ways. #thrillersky #booksky #bookseries

What’s a book you read that years later still lives rent free in your mind? It’s also my go to recommendation.
