THANK YOU! The first reviews for Book Two have be THANK YOU!

The first reviews for Book Two have begun to come in while I was on vacation and making my trip home, and can I just say...Wow! I am humbled!

The happy tears are real, because imposter syndrome is real and I sometimes struggle. 

If you haven't already read Reaper's Quest, will you be adding the adventure to your TBR?

QOTD: What is your favorite bookish extra?
Raise your hand if you savor the forced proximity Raise your hand if you savor the forced proximity trope! 🙋‍♀️

Nothing like a little unavoidable closeness to increase interest in any given scene. Am I right? What say you?

Well guess what! We have six reads for your consideration that scratch that particular trope itch.

Grumpy meets grumpier in this slow-burn, gothic romantasy. Rival reapers Raven and Chace are forced to work together to cross over a century’s worth of overdue souls. Only, the curse holding death a bay may have now trapped them as well.

‍🔥 Slow burn & tension 
⚔️ Rivals to co-workers to… ah…dare we say? 
✨ Grumpy & grumpier
🏚️ Forced proximity
💀 Reapers & dark citadel

I am home but not yet fulling back in the swing of I am home but not yet fulling back in the swing of things. Today is a busy busy day, but I have managed to reconnected with my writer support team. I wanted to take a moment to introduce you to those involved in (slowing) my progress. 😂

Gaius is my official chair warmer. If I get up for even a second, he is in place, keeping my seat comfy. 

Athena likes to get right up into anything that happens to be at my fingertips. More often than not, that ends up being my keyboard. 

Flynn is just super happy to be included. In the room and in my energy. He's a big fan of being where I am. 

Hades...well...it's as his slide says. He's the excitement level meter and too often we are putting him to sleep. Not sure if that's a good thing.

Gandalf calls the shots. Or at least he thinks he does. 🤣

Navi and Shoto - you can see it, right? They are totally judging me. Is there no place I can be safe from the critics? 😆

Your turn: What furry manager runs your life?

Keeping with the theme from yesterday's post, I ha Keeping with the theme from yesterday's post, I have another nickname to share. This one was given to Chace by someone other than Raven. 

“So putter off, Valen. Ace and I have something important to do.” - Aoes

What is one of your favorite nicknames given to a character in a book?
