Happy Leap Day... OR IS IT?!🐸💩

Hmm...🤔

Did you know that salaried workers are forced to donate 8 hours of free labor to their companies every February 29th 😬 ? For those of you who find yourselves working for FREE today, I feel your pain! My boss NEVER pays me overtime and doesn't ever give me a single day off, even on nights or weekends. (That asshole boss is me, BTW - such a jerk!😂)

Anyway, in honor of those of us who are grinding away for free today, I'm running a weekend flash sale! Inked is just 99 cents from now through Sunday, while the rest of the series is steeply discounted.

Speaking of unpaid labor, I am hard at work on the FINAL chapter of Amethysts and Alchemy and plan on finishing it by or before the weekend. EEEE!!!! Some members of my sensitivity team have told me that Delaney is their favorite character of mine YET. Swoon! 🥰 I cannot wait to share this book with you. It's by far my coziest and most unique to date!

Have a wonderful day, and remember - if your boss asks you for any special favors today, let them know you'll get to it February 30th 😂 Cheers!❤️

📚Kickass Kickstarter Alert! 📚

My friend Katie Cross has launched a deluxe, illustrated edition of her award-winning, best selling YA Fantasy book, and I thought you should check it out! 🙂 

Sixteen-year-old Bianca Monroe has prepared for this moment her entire life.

She's joining the quietly famous magical school Miss Mabel’s School for Girls. The only place where she can save her own life. Winning a spot to work directly with Miss Mabel is downright dangerous—particularly with Bianca's secrets to keep close.

Bianca comes face to face with enchanting spells, simmering potions, and the brutal pangs of homesickness.

Unfortunately, Miss Mabel has her own evil plans. If Bianca loses, she’s at the very center of them. Bianca’s only hope lies within the power of her grit, intelligence, and sheer determination.

Back the project right here on Kickstarter!

✨The Greatest Story Ever Written in the Entire History of the Universe ✨

From the minds that brought you the Gilded Blood and Hell In Haven series, comes a contemporary fantasy satire like no other…

Chet Williams, a fantasy-writer extraordinaire in his own mind, has been rejected one too many times. For far too long, his genius has gone unnoticed. But when Chet stumbles upon a secret that could shake the publishing world to its core, his ambitions are finally realized...for better or for worse.

Come experience the most profound romance of all time: an egomaniac's undying love for himself.



"Utterly brilliant and captivating. If you don't like this book, you clearly don't appreciate superior intelligence, unparalleled talent, and staggering 'genius-ness.'" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- David Green, co-author of THE PILFERED QUILL

"Probably one of greatest stories ever written - not including my numerous other literary masterpieces, that is. Six stars out of five!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Rachel Rener, co-author of THE PILFERED QUILL

Read THE PILFERED QUILL for 99 cents!

You can also get 20% off signed copies via Rachel's shop with promo code WINTER20 !

Upcoming events (so many!!!) and New Release Alert!

Happy Tuesday!

Before I bring you some awesome news, I have a small favor. Google has been erroneously marking certain newsletters and subscriptions as malicious when they are, in fact, totally benign - like mine! So if this post ended up in your Spam or Promotions folder, would you kindly mark it as "Not Spam"? Unless you no longer want to hear from me, in which case you can reply to this email directly and tell me to buzz off! 🐝

Okay, now for the good stuff!

First and foremost, THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping me get Jinxed back online after Amazon determined I had pirated my own book. Truly, I can't thank you enough for that, since other authors have lost their books for entire weeks (😰) and you helped me get Jinxed back online within DAYS, you freaking legends! 🙌 As my sales and rankings still haven't recovered from the fiasco, if you happen to know anyone who might enjoy a steamy, hilarious portal fantasy with smoldering incubi and Jewish mothers, would you consider recommending the Gilded Blood series? Anyone who does will get a free virtual basket of muffins from yours truly!🧁

Last, but most definitely not least, I am so excited to announce that I am just 4 chapters away from completing my current manuscript, AMETHYSTS & ALCHEMY, the start of a brand new, cozy, neurospicy, rivals-to-lovers fantasy series! Once it's finished, I'll send it off to my agent for us to shop some of the bigger publishing houses. BUT, the nice part about being an indie author with a bit of clout is that I'm not desperate to sell. If they aren't willing to provide Delaney a good home, I'll be bringing her to you myself!

I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!

Cheers!❤️
