Over a year in the making, and BBtV is finally out in the open! 💃🏻

A friend asked what I’m going to do to celebrate. Since I’m still recovering from a knee replacement and my hubby is out of town, I’ll probably celebrate with a long and satisfying nap. 😂

A huge thanks to my Beta readers (@lindajbookdragon , @alyssaerin99 , @janineerbegoff , and @flutterby_gurl777 ) for helping me with the plot, for wonderful suggestions and feedback, and for making Jake a character readers will root for.

I’d also like to thank @racheloestreich , my amazing editor for all her guidance and comma help 😉.

Thanks to @thetourmalinerenegade for proofreading BBtV and to all those who ARC read and posted reviews.

Even though being an author is a solitary job, it still takes a village to get an idea in my head to a finished book, and I’m so thankful for my village ❤️.

I’d love for you to check out this urban fantasy with angels and demons, reluctant allies, grumpy/sunshine, second chance romance, and epic fight scenes. Trust me, you’re in for a wild ride.

Flashback to when I discovered the magic of buddy reading!

Tackling never-ending TBRs, eagerly awaiting auto-buy authors’ next releases and connecting with fellow book lovers worldwide - it’s been an incredible journey!

Shoutout to my amazing Bookstagram friends (you know who you are!) for keeping me accountable and inspired! You prove social media can be a force for good. @lindajbookdragon, our #buddyreading adventures have been not less than magical 🪄🫶🏻.

I have featured some of my favourite reads:

🏛️#circe by Madeline Miller
🧛‍♂️#discoveryofwitches by Deborah Harkness

Qotd- How has buddy reading impacted your reading life?

📚📚📚THE 29th PART of OLD-FASHIONED (or Another Story With The Ghosts) 👻is available right by the link in bio ⬆️⬆️↖️

Greg is fighting with his first bow tie - right before meeting the old enemy and James’ special one at Royal Opera House. And the question arises…

Who is Derry and how his death might help?!

Check the new chapter for the answer 😊👌

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Greg is an unsuccessful London-based make up artist. When he receives a chance to work at the All Saints wedding party, he has no idea how the officially haunted manor will welcome him.
James is also coming to the party. Although he is a bit late, has no invitation, and appears to be a new owner of the property. Also, he is a lord Blacke whose family had owned the house three centuries ago. He is definitely not happy with partying at his country house.
But will he be happy with a couple of ghosts wondering around the manor? And how Greg fits into this posh English society with his dyed hair and awful Scottish accent? ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Holy moly!! Don’t get any of your books from Spotify. Seriously!

Another reason why I love this #bookstagram community: their support of Indie authors like me. 😊

These reviews are from readers I’ve met on IG and mean the world to me. Why? Because they loved my stories but are also willing to tell others about my books. Word of mouth is still the best (and cheapest) form of marketing out there. And self published authors need all the help they can get.

So, a big thanks to those who take chances on new authors, leave reviews, and help spread the word ♥️♥️♥️.

⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️
If you like ROMANTIC FANTASY with a morally gray assassin, enemies to lovers, unique magic system and much much more, then I’d love for you to check out The Darkness Trilogy.
Book 1 - Chasing the Darkness
Book 2 - Embracing the Darkness
Book 3 - Conquering the Darkness

Available where books are sold, link in bio ⚔️

❓Is there a new author you’ve found on IG and if so, give them a shout out here. If not, what’s your least favorite genre❓

Who knew that when I was searching for purpose 5 years ago it would lead to this?

On the days I struggle with Imposter Syndrome, it’s important for me to look back on where I started, and to see how far I’ve come and how much I’ve learned, whether that’s on the craft of writing, marketing, publishing, or social media.

This journey has been a wild ride. Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement and laughs along the way ♥️.

To my Beta and ARC readers, fellow Indie Authors, local bookstores, and reading enthusiasts- here’s to 2024! (IG only allowed me to tag 20 but there are so many more of you I wanted to thank).

❓Who needs extra strong coffee this morning❓ ☕️😂🙋🏻‍♀️
