Gotta love when you stumble across a good review of your book. ❤️🥲
Mostly text - A Hexcellent Chance to Fall in Love Ann Rose. Berkley, $19 trade paper (400p) ISBN 978-0-593815-97-7 Rose (The Seemingly Impossible Love Life of Amanda Dean) mixes spooky and sweet in this queer Halloween romance. Visiting The Dead of Night, a Halloween supply store, is a beloved autumnal tradition in small-town Clover Creek, but the store has a secret: it’s real magic that makes it appear and disappear each Halloween season and its proprietor is cursed to vanish along with it. Pepper has been the unlucky Keeper of the Store for the past five years, forced to live a half-life knowing that everyone in town will forget her the instant the store closes. She’s made her peace with this predicament—until she meets and falls for Christina, a new schoolteacher who’s overwhelmed with the task of operating the town’s famous haunted house. Literally ghosting her new love interest is the last thing Pepper wants, but can she find a way to break the curse before it’s too late? Despite the dark magic involved, Rose keeps things light and cozy. Pepper and Christina are well shaded and easy to root for, and the town comes to life via Rose’s bright and inviting prose. The magic itself sometimes feels a bit arbitrary, but it keeps the plot moving and adds real stakes to the budding romance. Fans of Casey McQuiston’s One Last Stop should check this out. (Sept.) Image of the cover of the book with two women holding each other, one of them slowly fading away.

Sometimes people just make sense together like skeletons and candy! (Who needs sunshine and roses at Halloween?)
Counting down the days to Halloween and for A Hexcellent Chance to Fall in Love to come out this fall! ❤️
Picture of Enid and Wednesday Addams with a stained glass background. Enid is bright and colorful and the text added to her side of the picture reads: Pepper White is positively positive. Wednesday is dark, wearing all black and the text added to her side reads: Christina Loring is undoubtably wary. There are little arrows pointing to each from the cover of A Hexcellent Chance to Fall in Love - indicating who is who on the over. The text together they are Perfectly Matched is at the top.

I guess… Happy Summer Solstice
But if, like me, you are already dreaming about fall, I have a suggestion 😉❤️

I don't know about you, but I don't need any other reason for bad luck... so maybe something to consider. 😉🤣
A picture of Jason from Friday the 13th standing in a boat looking down at the book, A Hexcellent Chance to Fall in Love. The cover features two women on the cover one of which is slowly fading away. Text reads: Today is Friday the 13th, so maybe you should grab a copy of A Hexcellent Chance to Fall in Love... You know, just in case. There is also a little text from the book itself that reads. “So . . .” Pepper asks. “Okay, it wasn’t terrible. But I’m not going to be watching Halloween or Jason Krueger or whatever anytime soon.” “It’s just Jason and Freddie Krueger, for your reference, but that’s totally fair.” “That movie was only like an hour and a half, too, so it was pretty quick.” I rub her foot with mine. Neither of us has socks on anymore. “You don’t have to go yet, do you?” “I didn’t have any other plans tonight, no.” She reaches over and rubs her thumb against my bottom lip. “Did you have something in mind?” Her lips curl into the most mischievous grin. And that’s all it takes.

This article and this picture are the same.

THIS is why people get angry at publishing, and honestly I cannot blame them. (Article is from 2023)

I’m still learning and figuring it all out. But this was my first. I just did the title but I like the way it turned out even if there is room for improvement. I want to bedazzle a full cover next—it’s just the deciding which to try
