Grumpy meets grumpier in this slow-burn, gothic romantasy ‘Reaper’s Quest’ by Debra Kristi

༻💚༺😈༻💚༺

Raven grew up following the rules…until she didn’t. Chace kept his truth hidden in silence…until he couldn’t. 

Grumpy meets grumpier in this slow-burn, gothic romantasy following two rival reapers. Forced to work together in a cursed citadel occupied by a century’s worth of overdue souls, events quickly go sideways for our reapers. With complications rising and expanding, will their rivalry cloud emotions, hinder task success, and pave the road for something far more concerning than mortal danger? Because the overwhelming number of unreaped souls is turning out to be the least of their worries.

༻💚༺😈༻💚༺

Happy Mother's Day all you beautiful mothers in ev Happy Mother's Day all you beautiful mothers in every stage of life. Yes, that includes mother's to be! 

Do mothers of fur babies count? Yeah, I think they do! 

Did you do anything special to celebrate the mothers in your life?

This Mother's Day I hand delivered the first physical ARC (a proof, really) to my mom - large print edition! - of my upcoming release. 

>Note: The cover pictured here is an early proof and the "Large Print" circle is no longer up against the edge.

The large print is so easy to see, I may need to start reading books this way. My eyes get worse and worse every year. 

Authors and book lovers, what kind of havoc has constant reading played on your eyes?
Hey! Look at that! My glasses match the book cover Hey! Look at that! My glasses match the book cover. 😆

In most every picture taken, the lenses always capture a purple shimmer.
"Ouch." He slapped his hand to his chest. "You go "Ouch." He slapped his hand to his chest. "You go straight for the jugular, don't you? I already feel the loss of blood slowing my heart."

My jaw tightned. "Stop it."

"As you command." He dipped his head. "Just pretend like I'm not even here."

I love pretty book interior pics! Don't you?
I love seeing characters coming to life. Don't you I love seeing characters coming to life. Don't you? This fabulous art for my upcoming release #ReapersQuest is the amazing work of the talented @atra_lunadesign. I LOVE working with her! She also created the covers for my Gifted Girls series. 

I'm currently working with a couple other artists and I can't wait to share what they come up with. 

Do you have a character art artist you love love love? If so, drop their name in the comments and share the love with me and others! 😍
