Weekly Recap

Happy Saturday, magical & heroic beauties! We're here on the weekend since we dropped some big things yesterday. The countdown to Loathed Love has officially begun, and we can't wait for Audrey & Birdie's romance to finally be out in the world. The paperbacks are also gorgeous. The deluxe editions just arrived to us, and they're truly stunning and fit so beautifully next to the first two books. Having a trio just feels right! It makes us emotional to think about all six eventually being side by side.

If you haven't already, don't miss out on the Goodreads Giveaway for a chance to win a print ARC of Loathed Love. It ends October 5th.

Tickets for the Release Day party are also now available. We'll be at Sincerely Yours Bookstore in Smyrna, GA to celebrate Loathed Love on November 10th. We're slowing down on events due to physical health, and we're taking this extra time to focus on writing, so there won't be as many opportunities to see us in the future, sadly. We love meeting readers and signing your books so much, and if you do make it out to Georgia, don't be afraid to bring your whole collection! We will sign everything you have. Our pens are ready!

At the party, there'll also be lots of swag for free and a raffle for merch. The first two parties were some of our favorite events ever, and we know Loathed Love will be just as fun and joyous! To all the patrons attending, we're so excited to see you there!!
