Fizz Hangout Weekly Discussion: March 3rd, 2023 (Patreon)

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 Like Us series, 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!

Gloomy weather is here! Which genre are you going to cozy up to during a thunderstorm? Will it be thriller, romance (a particular romance trope -- bring on enemies to lovers in rainstorms!), a cozy mystery, fantasy, etc? Or are you the kind of reader that doesn't let the outside weather affect your reading choices?

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & super-heroic beauties! We hope the start of your March is beginning out strong! It's been raining here all week (hence the Fizz Hangout question this week), and even though we'd love nothing more than to grab a good book in these dark and stormy times, we are busy in our writing cave.

Unlucky Like Us is turning out even more gut-wrenching, complex, and emotional than we dreamed. We're so in love with this book, and we cannot wait for you all to have your hands on it. ALSO the new print edition of Addicted for Now is coming up! Are you all excited for this?! It has Rose & Connor's first date in it, and we are sooo stoked for all of you to finally have that piece of their history to read 🌹💙

In more bookish news, this week was full of good stuff here on Patreon. A bonus and a podcast dropped, and this bonus had LOTS of little tidbits in it for side characters. Plus, there are some giveaways going on that you won't want to miss.
