A promotional sale graphic for the Barnes and Noble’s preorder sale for Deadly Ever After. A graphic explaining the book DEADLY EVER AFTER. It reads “ABOUT DEADLY EVER AFTER Two dead princesses must find true love's kiss to bring them back to life in this heart-stopping romantic fantasy debut. For fans of Cinderella Is Dead and Girl, Serpent, Thorn. Amala has spent her whole life trying to be the perfect princess: delicate, quiet, obedient. But when she's murdered on the night of her wedding, her story is cut short before it begins. Kha dasia has been told her whole life that she is too rough, too loud, too much. She's no ordinary princess but a ruthless warrior on a quest to fulfill her late brother's dying wish. Except she dies before reaching her destination. When both girls wake up in a cursed forest, the gods offer them a second chance at life—if they can find true love's kiss. But there's a catch, the gods warn. While the right kiss will save you, the wrong kiss will kill you. On their journey, the princesses must overcome challenges that force them to face the truth of their lives...and their deaths. And as Amala and Kha'dasia grow closer, they can't help but wonder if true love has been standing right in front of them all along.”

I’m beta reading my partner’s novel and every day I’m blown away by his mind. Being able to do this is a form of creative intimacy I really cherish.

That being said I really get mad when he does my favorite characters dirty. I’ll be staring at him like this all throughout reading.
