Find the Joy in Every Story
Jun 08, 2026 2:06 pm
Hello, lovely readers!
Thank you to everyone who's made this release so wonderful! I'm always nervous about a book release and then always SO GRATEFUL to the readers who spend their hours with my words. On days like this, I'm always reminded why I wanted to publish books. Reading, especially romance, ESPECIALLY historical romance, has given me such joy during bleak times, and I want to put the joy I received back into the world.
Every love story I write needs to be wrapped around that joy somehow, and I think Tessa and Remmy find joy in learning how to be themselves, how to accept the soft and odd bits of themselves that others tell them they shouldn't.
Book Recommendations
I'm a little like the bat signal, calling Batman to work, except I've called on many of the historical romantasy authors I know to collect our books together in one place so reader who love a little magic with their historical romance can see what's available! If you have liked my Alchemy of Desire series or Tracy Sumner's League of Lords series, you may like these historical romantasies too!
If you're needing a fantasy with an independent heroine, here's a bunch of them!
I've been reading a lot of Illona Andrews and Karen Marie Moning right now. I think it has something to do with my itch to write a short novella series about a ghost hunting agency in Victorian London run by a woman with psychic powers who meets a man who Does Not Believe Such Things Exist. I can practically hear their voices in my head. 🤣 That usually paves quite a distracted path for me, because Vivian and Fox are NOT scheduled to be written anytime within the next two years. I have a schedule, dang it! Now let's see if they'll let it remain intact...
Happy reading!
