LOTS OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING!!!
Greetings sweet cherub!
It's the last day of the year, can you believe??? Ahh 2021, you fickle minx of stress. I am not that sorry to see you go.
I blinked and December is over and 2022 is ready to bust down my front door. It's hard for me to wrap my head around this year actually starting, it's one I've been looking forward to for what's felt like forever. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit intimidated at all that's in store but, at the same time, I'm like a toddler on their birthday with excitement.
I get my doctorate in May, and I've been anticipating that day pretty much since I started dental school in 2018. I'm job hunting and trying to make a life plan and maybe moving (RIP) and it's all... a lot of change! I've always known 2022 would be a new chapter in my professional dentist life, but I never predicted that it would also be such a huge year for my writing career.
I HAVE TWO WHOLE BOOKS RELEASING IN 2022 WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT ABOUT????
I'm nervous and excited and thrilled and, above all, humbled beyond belief that I get to write these books and share them with the world. My characters and their worlds have been such a safe place for me during these tumultuous times, and I hope they can also bring readers happiness as they enter the world.

Book Stuff 📚
Okay so, I HAVE A LOT OF NEWS!!!!!
First and foremost, my second book has a title and is officially available for Pre-Order and to shelve on Goodreads!
LIZZIE BLAKE'S BEST MISTAKE takes place in the same universe as A BRUSH WITH LOVE (and we get some super fun Harper and Dan cameos in Lizzie's story).
It's releasing 9.6.22! This book is chaotic and bonkers and was a true joy to write. You’ll find:
🧠 ADHD Heroine
🦘 Aussie hero
👄 Face sitting 36 pages in
🥐 Erotic baking
🛌 There’s only one bed
🚿oh shit, also only one shower
🍆 Dry hump to completion
☀️ Starchy and his sunshine
This books is so incredibly dear to me and I am (as always) humbled beyond belief to write these books about love for every brain. Keep your eyes peeled for the cover reveal coming in the next few months! (Don't worry, I'm sure I'll flood your inbox with stuff about that too)
ADDITIONALLY!!!! A secret I've been sitting on for like... eight months (can you believe I kept a secret for that long?? I can't tbh) was finally announced!
HAPPY HOLIGAYS, I’m writing more books!!!!! My queer, holiday rom-com PINING will release fall 2023 and it’s full of bi chaos, grumpy x sunshine hijinks, one bed goodness, cottagecore sapphics, and, of course, SO. MUCH. PINING.
Ya'll... the vibes are pure chaos in this one, and writing it has made me absolutely scream with joy. I am beyond thankful and grateful to have the chance to share my stories and these characters.
Per my mom's request (and I can't blame her because I talk about A LOT of things really really fast and she never has any idea what the hell I'm actually going on about) here's a little timeline of what's to come with releases:
A BRUSH WITH LOVE releases March 1, 2022-- Dental school rom-com with anxiety rep, slow burn, and plenty of oral puns.

Music 🎼
Gonna say right here and now that "I Think He Knows" is Taylor Swift's most underrated song and I can't stop listening to it.
The Cats 🐈⬛
I left these agents of destruction alone for two (2) days to visit family and came home to find they had, quite simply, fucked with ALL of my shit. They tore cacti out of pots. Got into my jewelry box. Ate some of said jewelry. Threw up EVERYWHERE... I still got them some toys though to ring in the new year because they're perfect and they deserve it.
Thirst Trap 💦
Bridgerton season 2 is releasing March 25th and, truly, I cannot wait to see Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley so much as breathe near each other... how can two people be so good looking????????????

And here's this thing:
The End 🤡
I hope you all have the happiest and healthiest 2022 possible. We've been through so much these past few years, be gentle and kind with yourselves. Give yourself the grace and compassion you give others. You deserve it.
All my love,
Mazey ❤️🧠🦷
