Hey !

This is my last email in 2025, one I've put off for quite some time because hell, was I tired. There is a price to pay for writing two very long, complex books back to back (Prize for the King and Devil's Dance) and that price is my wellbeing - but it was worth it. I love both these books dearly and I'm especially happy about Prize for the King (currently a bestseller in the Historical Erotica category where Amazon put it without asking me - and I'm not mad about it 😂).

It was a spontaneous, completely unplanned creative baby, and it turned out to be exactly what many readers needed. So yeah, it was totally worth it!

But, to the point.

Devil's Dance is live! If you've been waiting for the Jaga and the Devil trilogy to be complete, here it is! The final book is live and there is NO cliffhanger. I repeat, no cliffhanger! The story is finished. All of it is available on Amazon (with original art inside every kindle book and paperback) and it's in Kindle Unlimited.

Check out the series here.

What's coming in 2026?

I always promise myself to slow down and never keep my word to myself. For 2026, four books are set in stone. That includes three available to preorder: Follow the Moon (a romantasy standalone in my new Slavic spinoff series), two more novellas in my Spicy Holiday series (A Very Psycho Christmas and A Very Kidnapper Christmas), and then one book I've already promised you in the MSA series, called Guarded by the Clanker that will come out most likely in March.

And then, there is a plethora of projects that I badly want to write but alas, am too human and burned out to complete them all. So I'll have to see if I manage to write anything else next year.

I'd like to give my Prize for the King characters a proper HEA epilogue (poor Arvi needs a scene where he's fully conscious, don't you agree?) and then I have a sequel (with other characters, same world) to write, and also a fantasy romcom that I've been dying to write since last year, and a taboo shifter romance in a dark urban fantasy world...

Yeah, these are roughly what's next in line apart from some other, more nebulous ideas that I'm waiting to become more tangible. Aaaah, so many books to write!

So this is it from me! I wish you an amazing (or just peaceful, let's be real) end of the year, and lots of luck, love, good health, and abundance for 2026!!!

Lots of love,

~Layla
