All those NAMES in the On the Board Series



Isaac gathered the cards at the center of the table. “So, you and me, and Karlsson and Sidorov—Sido?”


I’d never seen Elias roll his eyes quite so hard. “It’s Elias, or Karly.”



Isaac’s sheepish grin was lovely. “Okay.”



Nikki leveled another glare at me before shifting his attention to Isaac. “You can call me Nisha here.” He gestured to the four of u

Very much enjoyed this twist on Cinderella. Very queer. Both light-hearted and deep (pay heed to the CWs.)

That it took me a while to read isn't the book's fault, but my brain's. I've been having a really hard time focusing on anything.

Quotes by Anna Zabo  (?)

“I take it he was in the closet?"

"He might as well have been in Narnia.”
Anna Zabo, Takeover

“And if we're talking flaws - I get a kick out of flogging people, then fucking them."

Warmth ran up Sam's spine. "That's a flaw?"

Michael grinned. "Only to some.”
Anna Zabo, Takeover

“What a curious and handsome man Brian was! Full of wit, innuendo, and charm. No doubt Brian knew exactly what he was doing, the flirty thing that he was. Not a naive young man—he wanted Rob. That had been apparent from his cream comments. And yet, ex-girlfriends. But no negative quips about Todd or his husband. Or Sam Anderson’s little queer consulting firm above his head. Bi? Pan? Not that it mattered. Rob hadn’t come here to pick up a date—just a cup of coffee.”

Anna Oh man, I see the Marie Kondo meme has hit GR.

Folks, she didn't say "keep only 30 books". That's what she personally found that she kept. The idea is to, you know, curate your collection and give away/donate/sell what you don't want/need (for your value of want and need).

That's...normal. It's part of decluttering! What the heck is so awful about that? Heck, I have made raffle baskets for charity out of books I've picked up at conventions and later decided I'm never going to read!

She's not a cow. She's not a monster. FFS.

Nancy Hi Anna, I’ve read and enjoyed quite a few of your books Just discovered and finished Close Quarter. Liked it a lot. Will there be more because it read like there would, maybe Vasil’s story? Just bought the short prequel today.

Anna Hey there! For the readers out there, I just want to say that it's ABSOLUTELY OKAY to judge whether or not you want to read a book by its blurb and shelve is accordingly on GR.

Your GR account is yours.

Also, I've had people love my writing and nope out of books because of content or theme. THAT'S OKAY, TOO! I nope out of books for a variety of reasons myself. I don't get offended. Authors shouldn't.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Readers are allowed to react to a book or blurb however they react to it. It's your right as a reader.

Anyone who tells you differently is full of it.
