It's the last stretch of the year and I'm collecting insane, last-minute goals like my little collected candy on Halloween. November is my big planning month when I prep for the new year as well, so that's why all these things start to sneak up on me!

Direct Paperback:

Signed copies of How Not to Woo Your Human Warrior are now available on Etsy. My shipment came in pretty damaged, so I've only listed what good copies I have in stock (very limited) and will have to wait for my replacements to come in. So it'll be first come first served to ship them out before release date, and then I'll open up "preorders" which look to have a long wait time but are usually sent sooner.

Goals for the rest of 2025:

We've got a few here that I'm sort of freaking out about considering I've already hit so many huge milestones in this year already.

1. Hit 4M lifetime page reads on KU - absolutely insane that I'm about 300K away from that. I literally just celebrated 1M so this doesn't feel real.
2. Hit 3M page reads on KU THIS YEAR - also insane that we're only 50K away to hit that goal. plz pinch me.
3. Welcome someone to the Indigo or Royal tier on Patreon (again, super lofty goal) - you get to pick a birthday story AND get a book box with every release? Plus so many other perks? I'd LOVE to be able to send some fun things out. But the dream is FIVE (5) new patrons before 2026 just coming to hang out and read my books before anyone else
4. Obviously, finish drafting Pursue (Falling for Demons 5) - Yeah, moving knocked me out, so did sickness, and now I'm adjusting to a new routine. But we are getting back to the keyboard and making things happen!
5. Where in the world is Trick & Tangle? - HA! Hunter is very mad at me. But actually I'm 20K in and my writing group laughs every week (besides that one time I got super dark on them, but then it all got better it's fine)
