WHOA. Happy New Year!

I hope y'all had an awesome new year and holiday! I know it's always hard getting back into the swing of things. Do you have any new goals this year? I'd love to know, so just reply to this email and say hello!

My goals:

• Read 50 books
• Finish up a little novella (details to come)
• Work on getting an audiobook of TCOBS (squeal!)
• Get into TCOFD (that's the third and final Smoke and Shadow book)
• Get 15 patrons on Patreon
• Start a book club

Book club? What?

Yes! Over on Discord we are starting an 18+ romantasy/romance/smutty short book club with the most UNHINGED and BONKERS reads we can find because if reading isn't also fun some times, why do it? I'd love to have you pop in. It's super low pressure, you can find some weird, like-minded folks, and we're just going to have a silly time.

Tell me a bit more about Patreon

So... I know you see me post about this a lot, but Patreon is a really awesome monthly platform that helps me keep afloat between book releases. If you've enjoyed any of my books, I use Patreon to write fun little stories with the characters you love doing great things. It's also where I can release artwork early, share some behind the scenes stuff, and host polls so you guys can vote on stories, characters, art, and more!

Right now, Patreon helps fund the cost of book covers, but my goal is that it will one day help with other things like audiobooks, art, book boxes, and more. Not only that, Patreon income goes directly into the book creation process and is directly correlated with getting books out to you faster.

I would really really love to hit that goal of 15 patrons, which is a lofty goal of 9 folks joining. So, I'm doing a mini book box bonus! If you join before the end of January for as little as $5, I'll be sending out a personalized box of trinkets on top of all the other goodies you get in the tiers.

If a monthly subscription isn't in your wheelhouse, I'm now offering free domestic shipping in my etsy shop if you'd like some signed books or art prints. There's also a new option for international shipping. Once I get some traction and reviews there (hint hint) I'll be able to offer a few more things so please do check it out!

Don't forget to reply and tell me a little about your 2024 goals!

Sending you love, kindness, and peace for wherever you are right now.
