I think September is false advertising. -Ber months need to immediately become chilly and cozy and give all the cottagecore vibes.

Since the weather outside is not cooperating, I put together a little reading list of my favorite fall reads. Because I need to pretend that it's nice and cozy already - this heat is not my friend. There's also still time to enter the cozy reader giveaway below, as well as a romantasy themed one that just opened!

Updates:

This weekend I'll be in Lexington for a signing - my very first! - so I'm prepping for that. I'm nervous but excited, and it'll be a nice chance to visit some family in the area if I'm not dead on my feet at the end of the day!

AUDIO: I teased audio last email, but I'm here to say that Falling for Demons is getting audiobooks! You can listen to Court's audio now on your favorite platforms, and Charm is coming October 1! I think that's wild.

Remaining FFD: I've finished up my first pass of edits for How Not to Woo Your Human Warrior, book 3 in the series, and will be doing another round for the next week or so. The announcements for Woo and Tame (Ashley's book 4) will be coming soon. Reminder that those dates on amazon are just a placeholder so you can have a preorder link and stay updated.

We'll also be dropping more hints about books 5 and 6, which will be the final two books in the series. We're releasing them in pairs to keep the hype going!

I leave you with this teaser from Woo:

Kalypso spun away, readjusting the cuirass digging into her armpits, only to find a blade pointed at her. She stared at the silver an inch from her heart, then glared at the wielder.

“Really?”

Ozirax smirked, then flipped the blade so the handle was presented to her. “Keeping you on your toes. You get distracted like that in the Dreadmoor, you won’t make it back out.”
