It’s been almost three months since the release of The Secret Attic, and every day I get new messages from readers meeting Addison, Luke, and *ahem* Barb.

Have you read it yet? Every jaw-drop tag in an IG story when you hit the last twist fuels me. 🤣 I’ve got a writing retreat coming up soon, so hit me with those reactions. But keep the secret for everyone else.

🌹Cover reveal🌹

Hearts Still Bound and Broken, the final book in Piper J. Drake's Mythwoven series, will be on shelves March 30, 2027. Available for preorder now!

The world will remember their legend.

As the Darke Consortium's resident werewolf, Thomas is used to having to sacrifice his happiness for the greater good. Yet when he unexpectedly crosses paths with the one woman he could never forget, he can't help but feel like his luck may be changing. But Sahlin is no longer the woman he remembers. Touched by the world of the supernatural, she now transforms each cycle into the legendary Rose…and her newfound power has made her the target of monsters desperate to reclaim their humanity.

Thomas will not let Sahlin face this nightmare alone. Sheltering her within the hidden magical world she never knew existed, Thomas helps Sahlin confront the terrifying symptoms of her curse and uncover what she needs to survive. Yet as the bond between them deepens, so does the danger, and soon the Consortium's island sanctuary is under siege.

Magic clashes against magic, monsters rise, and old alliances are put to the test. As the starcrossed lovers fight for their very survival, they must learn to define their place in the world, and decide what their future—chosen freely, fiercely, and forever—might together become.

I've been waiting six months to post this and it still doesn't feel real.

My debut, an m/m fantasy romcom about an up-and-coming necromancer who decides the safest path to power is seducing a dark lord instead of becoming one himself, is coming Feb 2027! 💀💜👑

Cover reveal soon, but you can already pre order!

Thrilled to be working with @berkleypub and @penguinrandomca and @titanbooks! Thanks x1000 to my amazing agents @handspunlit!

book recommendation!

genre: romantasy, but, like, then some sci-fi and it gets a bit hitchhiker’s guide or even red dwarf for a bit. so that’s the genre.

tropes: idiot enemies-to-lovers. the enemies are idiots and aren’t really enemies, but one of the lovers keeps acting like an enemy and one of the idiots is the smartest person in the world. (those last two are the same person. it’s the wizard. sir cameron isn’t that deep.)

summary: imagine a world based on a fantasy video game, like maybe final fantasy 4, except the black mage is really old. ooh, or better yet, it’s like final fantasy x, but lulu is a grumpy dude, plus she still wants to kill god. and there’s this himbo who is completely impervious to the opinions of others.

uh, there’s some benign dismemberment? it’s okay, I promise. really, it’s fine. I was worried, and I don’t want you to worry. it’s okay.

I read reviews that this book is transphobic, and, uh, no. this book gets the trans seal of approval. *mwah* that’s how we give the seal of approval. it’s a kiss from a trans person. anyway, there’s someone performing gender-affirming care and correcting misgendering, and the characters who are transphobic and homophobic are very obviously Not Good People.

the author is a tumblr native, and there’s fandom on tumblr. the acronym in tags is “ascntd.” 👀 I found a post saying, “we finally got our copy and the polycule is reading it aloud to each other,” OH MY GOD, I love that. some transphobe called it the “tumblr yaoi book,” and if nothing else gets you to read it, annoying transphobes should.

I bought the paperback with zero knowledge bc the edges were cool and the title is a banger, but I listened to the audio, and y’all, dan calley FUCKING KILLS. his narration for cameron is pitch. perfect. I may have mildly harassed him in dms about this audio because I loved it so much.

apparently, sir cameron needs to die

I am so happy to announce a special preorder campaign for Book Club Boyfriend, in which a sunny rom-com actress-turned producer and a grumpy, snobby literary novelist butt heads. (Out July 14 from @readforeverpub)

If you preorder from one of three indie bookstores, Hopeless Romantic Bookshop in Toronto, Tropes & Trifles in Minneapolis, or Heart Bound Book Shop in Anaheim, your book will come with a bookmark and a signed bookplate (in the shape of a lemon. Lemons may be the new grilled cheese…iykyk 😉)

And! Anyone who preorders the book from any retailer and submits a receipt (through release week) will get a digital book club kit and colouring page. The top link in my bio goes to a page where you can upload your receipt.

Readers: *put THE FARMHOUSE back on the USA Today Bestseller list this week*

Morning, friends! I’m low-key obsessed with this Urban Crow oracle deck my friend @lishmcbride sent me. @crowtarotmjcullinane’s artwork is stunning and I drew this Teamwork card today and as The Secret Attic will be out in just a couple weeks, it’s perfect. The teams at @poisonedpenpress, @sourcebooks.audio, @handspunlit, and all the amazing book tour indie shops are making sure readers get to read this “creepy whirlwind of a novel” (thanks, @almakatsu).

And of course the book has crows. And preorder goodies that include crow swag. You’ll know why soon. 🐦‍⬛
