Hey !

Aaaaaah! I was on a podcast!!!

(I have no chill, forgive me.)

But AAAAAAH!

It was an amazing experience and I had so much fun with the Ink Addicts and Dame Rho, the author of Prince of Lust. We spent a wonderful hour discussing all things monster romance, Jaga and the Devil, and Rho's book. It's available online, so if you'd like to learn why I never hated Woland and many other things, you can watch it now on YouTube - WATCH NOW.

And follow The Ink Addicts on Instagram 🖤

Ready to romance a Clanker?

I told you recently that I'm planning one more book in the Monster Security Agency series, and the preorder is officially available - with the most gorgeous cover ever! Seriously, take a look 😍Isn't it beautiful?

This book will have everything I love: futuristic technology, smart machines, a cyberpunk setting (Neo Tokyo!), a heroine who lifts weights, and of course, a spicy romance filled with tension! We've got enemies / reluctant allies forced to work together while on the run, and staying in close quarters with no privacy at all. Yummy!

I'm a huge Mass Effect fan, and I love action-packed science fiction, so I'll definitely bring some of those vibes into this book. And of course, I have something pretty fun planned in the spice department^^ I've just started writing this beauty, and it will come out on March 28.

Delicious monster snacks

Are in you in the mood for a quick, spicy monster romance read? Check out the Monsters' Bride Market series! The authors are adding to it regularly, and the series already includes five titles, with three more coming out in January! These are delicious, spicy novellas, each perfect for an evening of escape from reality.

Here's the cover of Cara Wylde's next addition that comes out on January 14 - Bought by the Wyvern 😍

On my TBR

Once I'm done with my current read (Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett, thank you for asking) I have two books on my list that I'm insanely excited for! One is Thing of Ruin by Cara Wylde (a Frankenstein-themed Gothic romance that's, of course, a monstrous delicacy) and the other is Lillian Lark's Entranced by the Basilisks (multiple lizard-adjacent love interests? you know I'll eat that right up!)

Also, I keep getting entranced every time I look at one of Lilllian's book covers. She is not just a wonderful author (and person!), she's also an insanely talented painter and paints all her covers herself! Just take a look and get entranced right with me.

I wish you a very Happy New Year, ! Thank you for being here - I appreciate you so much!

Lots of love,
