💃🏼 musing about a book sale!


Hi Reader!

So much is happening this week! One big thing on my to-do list this week is to finalize Crowned! The next book in the Royals series (releasing in October) has come back from the last pass with an editor. So now I'm doing final revisions, and getting all the covers and ebooks and print versions ready. Fingers crossed that this time next week the book will be DONE (and then I can start sharing snippets and all the fun things).

Of course, all the things are happening while I'm still recovering from covid (my coughing is much less but sadly not gone) but I'm hoping it tapers off this week or next 🤞🏼. The good thing about getting covid is that it got me out of family events I didn't want to go to 😂 but it also forced me to skip seeing friends I DID want to see 😭. Hopefully once I stop coughing I can spend time with people I like again.

And I've got a fun book sale this week! Prince Alexander & Rebecca's love story (the first book in the Royals series) is on sale this week in a few different countries! If you haven't grabbed it yet, here's your chance (details and links below). Alex and Rebecca will also be the featured couple in Crowned (though you'll see a lot of royals pop in here and there), so this is a good time to start the series if you haven't already.

Something I'm considering is doing some fun Royals book boxes for next year - is this something you'd like to see? You'd get a special edition hardcover or paperback of a book, along with some fun swag and maybe even art! Sound off on the poll below and let me know if you're into that kind of thing.

👑pre-order Crowned!


📖 free steamy romances!

McKenzie Harris was this close to owning the house next door, but when three insanely gorgeous guys swoop in and steal it from right under her by purchasing it first, she declares war on them.


I’d never needed a week away with my brothers so bad until I’d broken up with my girlfriend. Sun, sand, surf and a few drinks to pass the nights away. The female persuasion was the farthest thing from my mind…that was until I lock eyes with the stunning brunette sitting on the other side of the bar.


💜 what I'm loving

📖 Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. Well, I've done it. I finally read Fourth Wing and loved it. Xaden is just... *chef's kiss* (and while I LOVE a childhood friends trope, I clocked Dain as an asshole early on and was NOT rooting for him 👎🏼). I bought it ages ago and it sat on my tbr for a long time. But I recently saw someone online describe this book as "Maxton Hall with dragons" and that was it - I immediately pulled it up and started reading. I have started on book 2 (but haven't finished yet) - hopefully I like it as much 🤞🏼!

That's it for now. Until next time!

Hi Reader! So remember last week when I said I was sick with something that wasn't the dreaded 'c' word - covid? Apparently it did turn out to be covid after all 😩. I was 'novid' for so long (no covid) and now I've gotten it for the first time. I tested negative for a long time before I finally got a positive result from the doctor, but now I'm on meds and slowly starting to feel better. So, today I'm dealing with covid, a chronic illness flareup, and a migraine, but I know healthier days are...

Hi Reader! I skipped sending a newsletter on Sunday this past weekend because I was waiting to share some news and now I can! I'm so excited to announce there is a release date for the next Royals book, Crowned, and you can pre-order it now! There is still quite a lot to do before release, but I'm far enough along in the editing process now that I feel comfortable announcing it. I'm keeping the cover and full synopsis under wraps for now, but this book focuses on Prince Alexander & Princess...
