Welcome to the newest Fizz Hangout! Every Friday, you all can stop by the weekly Fizz Hangout post and ask questions (to us or to your fellow patrons), discuss recent bonus scenes and/or podcasts with each other, and catch up on all the goodies you might've missed!

HANGOUT QUESTION: we love seeing your response to questions about the Addictedverse, and it helps facilitate some awesome discussions! Each week, there'll be a new "hangout question" that you can answer in the comments, if you wish!

What are you most excited to see in Tom Cobalt's book, SILVER SWEET?

Weekly Recap

It's another Saturday Hangout this week! We are still updating you from our writing cave! If you listened to the most recent live podcast, you know that we're working on Silver Sweet and we should be finished up in about a month and a half. That means you will definitely be getting a WIP snippet very soon -- we've been dying for this!

We chatted a lot about the announcements in the live pod, but we want to give a special shout out to the 10 patrons who voted for Audrey on the Book 3 poll. You guessed right! Your predication skills are elite! 👑

Next Tuesday there's also another audiobook release with Ricochet coming out. We're sorry for the delay with this one, but it's so worth it! The bonus in the back of the Berkley paperback edition has been recorded in audio for the first time. That means you can listen to the Core 6 read their notes to their future selves. It's going to be amazing and we highly recommend pre-saving on Spotify, if that's where you'll be listening!

Here on Patreon, we had the big Cobalt Empire announcements this week! So in case you missed it, here's what went down:

Announcement: 🎉💙✨ Cobalt Empire Announcement: Book 2 & 3 Titles, Main Characters, and Release Dates!

Extra Podcast: Extra Podcast LIVE: Cobalt Empire Announcement Discussion

THE SIGNED BOOK STORE

Our signed book store is restocked periodically. Keep checking it to see if a sold out item has been stocked. Any new updates will be posted here:

Burn Bright won't be in our signed store until 2026. Depending on remaining stock, it also might NOT be the deluxe edition that ends up on our store. So if you want the designed edges and spot gloss butterflies, we highly recommend getting it ASAP on other retailers since those are limited to a first print run.

📍 20% OFF DISCOUNT CODE: C4146Z5S9TPB

The discount applies to all books on our store, excluding oopsie books, merch, and gift cards. This discount code will expire 11/30 and a new discount code will be generated for the month of December.

📍REMINDER: We are beginning to SELL OUT of books that we've signed -- and once these sell out, the next restock of titles will be sold with signed bookplates instead of our signatures inside the book.

The description on the store will note whether the book is signed or comes with a signed bookplate.

If you have any questions about the store, sound below in the comments, and you can always email the store at kbr.authorstore@gmail.com xoxo

The hopeful Chaos and Shenanigans he will get into! Then the Banter, I love those relationships

millie (coballoway's version)

rachrachrach1

I’m most excited to read more about Eliot and Tom’s bond!!!!

Nicole

I most excited to finally meet Phoenix!

Isabella

So excited to see both Tom and Phoenix interact with the Cobalt siblings plus Harriet!!

Arrow

I am most excited to meet Phoenix and to get to read Tom’s HEA!

Jess

I am excited for the dynamic between him and Eliot----and Luna! Also hoping for Moffy content.

Briana💫

I’m excited for the tom and phoenix banter!! I just know those two will bicker to no end😂🖤

Raman

I am excited for the plot whatever it may be …. Also just like learning more about phoenix I feel like it’s the same thing as with Harriet new character that can end up in the favs hehehe

Willow Crossley-Henderson

I’m most excited to see the inside of Eliot and Tom’s relationship. Also the friendship between Eliot, Tom and Luna. I think their friendship is my favorite in the addicted universe along with Moffy and Jane❤️

Jared Povanda

I'm just so excited to meet Phoenix, his family, his friends, and to see Tom and him get the romance they deserve! And of course I need all of the interactions between Phoenix and all the other Cobalt siblings (and Rose and Connor, and Luna, and everyone honestly 😂)

Milana

Wednesday night dinners

Milana

Tom to finally be happy. Man has been through a lot the past year (losing his voice, getting a mic thrown at his face, etc)

AJ

Tom’s antics and dramatics. He was so funny to me in BB. Also we finally get to see him and Eliot’s bond from one of their POVs finally! So excited 💜🩶

shi luvs st.cobalt

I’m excited for **EVERYTHING**! Tom’s book has been something that only existed inside of my imagination for such a long time, I still haven’t grasped the fact that believe that it’s happening (someone pinch me, please 😭). I can’t wait to be inside of his head and to see how his brain works first hand. We know that Tom struggles with perfectionism, so I’m curious to see the way that he processes & views certain situations. I’m also excited to see his relationship with music through his eyes! I hope that he’s able to achieve everything that he’s ever hoped for (and then some). I’m rooting for him always! :’) Then there’s the Phoenix of it all (🥹). I’m so excited to meet him! It feels like just yesterday I was asking for hints about his name in the comments section of a podcast post (lol), we’ve come so far! :’) I still haven’t processed the fact that I’ll be receiving his POV as well (and seeing him on page, living and breathing). I’m excited to learn more about him & his past (but also a little nervous because there seems to be a heaviness to it based off of some of the pins on his board). Phoenix get behind me (🤺). I also can’t wait to see what kind of relationship he has with Birdie! I’m excited to meet him as well! :’) I still can’t believe that we received St. Cobalt confirmation. I’m so excited to see them as a couple, and to see the way that they view one another. Hearing you speak about their relationship in the recent podcast had me over the moon. St. Cobalt Soulmateism is in full force (🥹🤎)! ~~ Tom is finally getting his drummer! It’s been a long time coming! :’) I want to thank you both (again) for always putting up with all of my questions throughout the years! :’) I appreciate you both & your kindness immensely. I adore you forever and ever (and then some). ~~ XOXO, Shi (the girl that would never shut up about “The Hot Drummer™️” 🙂‍↕️)

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Is it bad if I just say St. Cobalt being together? Cause I need to see them together and how they fall in love 🖤🎸🥁

Danielle

Scenes of Tom & Ben as ROOMIESSSS!!!! 🥹

Danielle

Also Harry & Thomas banter 😅

xnni

I’m hopeful for more Rose and Connor content with the kids. Especially Connor with Tom having gay relationship and Connor’s past. Also desperate to see more Janie 🥹 And of course get a glimpse into the troublemakers shenanigans, maybe even some throwbacks when the boys were kids and tried to trick the king & queen 😅

m

Phoenix interacting with Harriet 🤗

nour el sabbagh

IM EXCITED TO SEE LUNAAAA and hopefully lily i wonder to know if she’s close to eliot and tom or not

Mary

I need more shenanigans with Tom similar to him sliding btwn ben and Harriet on the couch to watch the movie 😅

Olive

I'm excited to see Tom and Phoenix's journey with all of the great sibling, cousin, friend, and love interest dynamics. Super curious to see Harriet interact with Phoenix. I'm also curious and excited to see what other side characters might make an appearance.

Brianna 👽

I’m so excited to finally be getting deeper in the cobalts! We’ve know about Phoenix for so long now and I’m excited to see where they go! I can’t wait to see the relationships between the cobalts from Tom’s eyes — he’s a bit different from his sibling and he often reminds me of Lily. I hope we can also get more Hales x Cobalt interactions. And of course, I’m obligated to say I hope to see Roxy again 💖

Carrie

I’m excited for tom and phoenixs dynamic but also Tom’s relationships with his siblings, especially Eliot and Charlie! I mentioned this in the podcast but wanted to say it again… Becca please don’t listen to those critics who thought BB was too long or let them get in your head! I promise for every one person who wanted a shorter book there were at least 200 more who loved the length or would even have loved more pages! The book was wonderfully paced and had a great balance of romance and family, and that mixture of both in your books is what makes you and Krista stand out from other authors. The reason so many people reread your books is because you guys have that variety of dynamics, so no matter your mood is there are always scenes you can reread that will satisfy whatever craving readers were wanting at the moment. Your stories stay with people and have impact on them because you write so differently from most run of the mill authors. You guys mentioned BB was one of the most well received books and that is because you guys had so much content (loved the long book) so both the romance and the family sides of the story felt fully fleshed out and satisfying. You guys give your characters so much depth that most other books don’t which is why you stand out. If doubts start getting into your head just remember, everyone here on Patreon loves your style of writing and are willing to pay money each month to have even more content because we love your books and characters so much. And people who were willing to pick up a chunky first book of the series will definitely be willing to pick up more chunky books - if they weren’t wanting to read a lot of pages they never would have read your stuff to begin with. Readers choose your chunky books because of your storytelling abilities, and we all love and appreciate it so much and never want you to forget it! Ok now I’m rambling but I hope you get the point! You guys are amazing just how you write, no changes needed!

Carrie

Also - my conspiracy theory is that the critics saying your books should be shorter are actually competing authors who are jealous because they don’t know how to write stories with depth like you guys do. They are trying to sabotage you two because they are jealous of your greatness!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I really needed this today! Thank you so much, Carrie 🥹 Maybe I should print it out and hang it by my computer to remind myself of the love there is for all the extra stuff we put in the books 🥰 Really appreciate you taking the time to encourage us *hugs tight* xoxo B

Carrie

I’m glad it helped then, it was definitely worth saying! We all love the work you guys do and appreciate the effort you put in and love all the extras you add to books and bonuses. Lol I was in the live podcast and just all the excitement people had when you shared phoenix and birdies birthdays should also show how much we love all the little crumbs we can get! Before you could even get out the question on if people even cared to know their birthdays, the chat was blowing up with “Yes!”

claireeeee

Tom + Eliot’s brotherhood !!

Sarah

Honestly, I’m looking forward to the side characters’ stories. I’m ready for Eliot.

Teresa

I hope we see Rj and more Kotovas . Maybe catch a show with Rj or his famiy performing.

Alice

Tom being his endearing and funny self and I just need to actually see on page Phoenix and Birdie and their personalities and backstories. Both their Pinterest boards intrigue me
