🔥SALE ALERT🔥
Greetings you precious lil puffin!
I hope August is treating you well. I blinked and this month is more than halfway over, which means...
Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake Comes out NEXT MONTH 😩😮💨👌
Ooohhhh shit. Oh shit oh shit. I am nervous and pukey and anxious (and that's just my general baseline as a human). I'm also extremely excited for my unbelievably chaotic duo to hit shelves. This soft grump x pure sunshine pairing was such a joy to write, and the anticipation of release day has my heart going ✨KABOOM BITCH✨
Just a reminder from last newsletter-- signed and/or personalized copies can be ordered from Malaprop's Bookstore! I will also be doing an event at The Ripped Bodice in L.A. (more on that below) on September 24th, and they are also accepting orders for signed copies here!
Anyway, let's talk books!
🔥SALE ALERT🔥
A Brush with Love (ebook) is on sale right now across all retailers! It's $2.99 in the US and Canada, and for my UK besties, it's only 99p! This is a great chance to meet Lizzie (who's a wild side character) before her titular book releases on September 6. (also a great chance to meet Harper & Dan, my soft and earnest lil babies who I love so very much).
Lizzie Blake Pre-Order Swag 💅
I am SO excited to also share the Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake pre-order campaign!

In other swagtastic (no one hates me more than me) news, THERE'S ABWL UNIVERSE INSPIRED MERCH!!!! My lovely publicist, Jordan Brown, has set-up an online shop for plenty of book inspired gear.

The Cats 🐈⬛
Not much new to report about the cats besides they're perfect and lovely and Zadie is still eating so fast she pukes and Yaya is still spending most of her waking hours (all three of them) staring at the wall in exestential dread.
Audiobook Teaser
Not to brag, but the audiobook for Lizzie Blake is SO DAMN GOOD. I mean, the hero (Rake) has an Australian and growls a lot so I think that's pretty much all you need to know right there, but if you need further convincing, here's a delightful sample for you!

The End 🤡
All my love,
