I can't believe it--my debut novel will be released in 1 week! Preorders are still available at local bookstores, and the paperback and hardcovers will come with sprayed edges! #debutnovel #booktok #booksky

13 days until my book, A Happy Beginning, comes out. I feel like I should be doing so much more for the book, and at the same time I feel like if I hustle any harder my 🍑 is gonna fall off.
Which btw, I'm doing a giveaway on my website! You could win a swag box with an autographed copy of the novel!

In my ancient Egyptian novel, I needed a pirate to help provide some shady work. Two to three scenes maximum. Except now he's the MC's bestie and literally has to die to save him and that's the sequel plot now...
