FB reminded me I posted this 4 years ago today, and oh, how much A DEADLY ENDEAVOR has changed! This was in the first draft, when it was still YA, set in 1918 & Gilbert was a surly ambulance driver. But some things, like the line about bangs, remained all the way through to the published version!

I'm rewriting the book that I've always thought of as the book of my heart and I am SO excited. So if any editors are looking for a romantasy with werewolves and flower magic set in the aftermath of the 30 Years War, keep your eye out 👀

NEW TITLE UPDATE! I've been getting a few questions, so to clarify: the book formerly known as A Modern Girl's Guide to Murder will be published as A DEADLY ENDEAVOR! The new title has already updated on Goodreads, but not everywhere else yet. I can't wait for you all to meet Edie and Gil! 🖤
