A Dangerous Offer is coming in spring 2027 and will be my FIRST INDIE thriller! That’s right. I’m self publishing this baby. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to share this story. It’s juicy with dual POVs and a lot of twists. Think Indecent Proposal… but CRAZIER 🤪

More reveals for ADO to come within the next few months! In the meantime feel free to add it to goodreads at the link in my bio and make sure you sign up for my newsletter for sneak peeks, first look at the cover, and more!

I'm sure most of you who follow me know this, but I write in a few different genres: contemporary romance, dark romance, thrillers, and fantasy romance.

Which genre is your favorite?? by @reallyshanora

Not me acting like I’ve won an Oscar or something 😂

No but for real, making this list is a huge deal. It’s not easy hitting them but y’all showed up for ya girl. I have to send my gratitude out to the universe and thank everyone for supporting this release. It’s been a beautiful whirlwind.

Thank you Liz Pelletier and @redtowerbooks for believing in this story from the start and helping it fly! To the team in marketing and publicity - you’re the best!

Thanks to my sweet Georgie @georgana_nina_grinstead for your constant love and support and Nicole Resciniti who has been equally supportive.

@iamcaseyrkelley / @caseykelley.co is the goat! Thank you so very much for coming through and for constantly uplifting OUR community!

@adoseof.books you’re probably not a romantasy girly (😂) but thank you soooo much for your support in this too. 💜

So grateful for this community.

Alright, I’ll step off my soap box now. Go read some Mayhem! 💜

(Please disregard the wonky captions in the beginning!)

Signed some stock at @tropebookshop today! Thank y’all for letting me pop in! 🥰

I also signed some books at @thatsnovelbooks but forgot to take pics 😭 Alyssa is so sweet and told me about a book crawl happening in the Charlotte area that sounds really fun. If you’re local, you should check it out!

Also sharing this second pic that was just shared with me with a better angle of last night’s crowd at Quail Ridge Books. Still not over it. Thank you to every single person who showed up! 💜 @quailridgebooks by @reallyshanora

⭐️💜 Recap from the Mayhem tour stop in VA! 💜⭐️

@resist_bks welcomed me and my girl @authordanielleallen to cut up in their store and we had the best time! Petersburg is always showing so much love! I can’t wait to visit again!

And listen - whenever me and Danielle get together, it’s always a good time. Just look at the pics. We play too much and I love it. Thank you for being my conversation partner, Danielle! I can’t wait to see you again!

Huge thanks to Demetrius & Faith for making the evening at Resist Books feel like a smooth and warm occasion. I really appreciate all y’all do for the book community and how you uplift so many authors. 🥰

To all the beautiful readers who came out on that Saturday night, it was so nice seeing and meeting you. To know it was Easter weekend and you carved time out of your busy schedules to show up means soooo much to me. More than you know! 💜

Oh and shoutout to the purple suit! Not gonna lie, it was fun looking for purple outfits to wear on this mini tour.

Next up: Florence, SC next at the B&N in Magnolia Mall for the last tour stop. Hope to see some of you there! by @reallyshanora
