What's this? A new cover? A shame only my newsletter subscribers will be getting to see it on Sunday. But that could be you! There's plenty of time to go sign up!

I finally did the thing!
OMG A Newsletter!?
Hello! Greetings! Yes, I have finally sent out an actual newsletter. I don't have much to say right now, except that I have a new cover for Wanted in the works. The designer is finalizing it right now! I ran a poll about the reveal and release schedule on Threads, and the majority of voters wanted me to reveal and release the new covers as I get them.

Seeing free books claimed on platforms off Kindle is so heartening! It can be discouraging to wide authors when all our sales or promo traffic is still only Kindle. Thank you to those who are snagging Wanted elsewhere. 🖤
Still free until the end of the month!

Book 1 was compared to Ship of Magic and the writing style hailed as a "less wordy Robin Hobb" by a well known booktuber. 🖤
Book 1 is also free for a short time!

It's sapphic.
It's violent.
It's magical.
Add it on KU before it goes away!
Don't have KU? Once it's free from the exclusivity clause, it's going wide!

She had the chance to take the high road and become a hero. Instead, she became a villain, and chooses violence every time.
Choose violence. 😈
Choose Song.

Breaking a Rule
As some people who are aware of my existence might be aware, I have been having a major writer’s “freeze”, as someone on Threads called it. It’s not a block, I know what I want to write and some things have outlines, but I just can’t … words. I can’t get anything onto the page. (And maybe it’s because I’m at the end of this project, and the final book in a series, so I’m freezing because I don’t want it to end?)
