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 looking forward to in Loathed Love now that you know Audrey's love interest and have more info about Cobalt Empire #3?

Weekly Recap

May has arrived, and boy oh boy, we are in the writing trenches. So this is going to be a short recap as we're pulling long hours to ensure Loathed Love has everything we could want in it from start to finish. It also involves basically fine-tooth combing lines to ensure every character is accurate to where they are in their lives during this time. We think about everything (maybe too much 😅).

We love, love, love Loathed Love -- and we can't wait to properly GUSH. We've mentioned this before but all three Cobalt Empire novels (so far) have really become even more than what we hoped they could be. Thankfully August isn't too far away because we need Silver Sweet to be out in the world and in your hands like yesterday! We are DYING for you to read it!!

A ton of content dropped, so here's everything that went down this past week on Patreon:

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 ne updates will be posted here:

📣 Signed copies of Burn Bright (limited deluxe editions) are available on our store and this first batch of inventory are hand signed. But once those sell out, we'll only have signed bookplates available with the book. So if you're looking for a signed copy, definitely try to snag them as soon as possible.

📍20% off Discount Code (May) - NADT9DCA7G26

📍REMINDER: We are SELLING OUT of books that we've signed -- and once these titles 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
