Vines and Vices is coming November 8!
I've just sent advance copies of Vines and Vices to everyone who signed up! I'm so excited to see this book making its way into the world.
It's been a long journey for me from burnout at the end of the Immortal Soulless series through a long period of rest/planning and more than a year working on this book. I'm happy to be back and writing the stories that speak to me instead of the ones I know the market wants.
Is that risky? Yep. No one asked for a Jack and the Beanstalk retelling starring a con artist risking her life to escape an unhealthy family relationship, or a series of sequential semi-stand-alone stories (say that five times fast) featuring fairy tales I think don't get nearly enough retelling attention. But here we are, and I'm still madly in love with this book even after reading it well over a dozen times.
I guess I'll get to work now on an in-between story while I'm waiting for Hawk and Gale (a Hansel and Gretel retelling/aftermath story) to come back from my editor.
Thank you to everyone who's pre-ordered Vines and Vices. Your support means the world to me!

Add Curses and Crimes to your TBR!
We're less than two weeks out from Vines and Vices' release day, but today I have news on another book... specifically on Curses and Crimes, book two in the All the Queen's Knaves series!
We'll be doing the official cover reveal after Vines and Vices is out in the world, but Curses and Crimes is up for pre-order now--and if you'd like a preview of what this next adventure is going to be about (and you'd like to take a guess as to what fairy tale it's based on), the full description is here.
Thanks to everyone who has pre-ordered Vines and Vices! There's still time to get the ebook at the pre-order discount, but only until release day.
That's it for now. We're almost there!
