OcTaleBer is going to be a silly thing I do in the month of October to spark my own creativity through YOU. (I know I said I wouldn’t be in my comments as much, but ya girl is full of contradictions.)

November Events Barnes & Noble 350 Constitution Way Littleton, MA 11/1/26 | 12pm - 4pm Signing at a brand-new store! This store doesn’t exist yet, but it will! Books A Million 28640 US-290 Houston, TX 11/14/26 | 1pm - 5pm Ticketed Multi Author Event! Check the link in my bio for details!

Just A Little Note: Autumn is going to be very busy for me, so I probably won’t be as responsive to comments and things, and I may not return to my normal responsiveness come 2027. This doesn’t mean I appreciate you any less! My work load is just getting heavier. I know I should hire someone, but that poses its own work: vetting and on boarding are no small feats, and also the risk feels bigger than the reward in our current climate. So I’m just going to focus on the writing and my home. You’ll still get updates (new substack post coming soon) and I can’t wait to see you!

Today is Throne in the Dark's French book birthday! 🇫🇷 Not to be sappy, but I'm thinking about my grandma today. She passed away in 2018 before I was even self publishing, but she would be tickled "rose" to know one of those books was translated to French.

I'll be updating the V&V ebooks soon! Check the Alt text for easier reading

A Quick Note About Villains & Virtues eBooks

This will affect the ebooks only of:
Throne in the Dark
Summoned to the Wilds
Eclipse of the Crown

This will not affect:
V&V print copies
V&V Audiobooks
Bound to Fall ebook, print, or audio
Bound & Tide ebook, print, or audio

An Update is Coming July 28th (ish)

With the paperback release of Eclipse, I’ll be updating the ebook trilogy. The content will change to match the paperback manuscript, but the story is identical!

The new ebooks will NOT, however, include the bonus chapters, interior artwork, or new cover.

I may update the current covers slightly, but the original artwork will remain!

How Does This Affect You?

If you already own any of the ebooks, nothing will change unless you choose to download the updated version. Please don’t ask me how to do that, though, because I don’t know! I will not be asking Zon to force the new version onto anyone’s ereader.

If you have the book checked out in KU, I assume you’ll get the new version when your device goes online.

I have no idea what will happen to the popular highlights, but if you own the ebook, you should retain yours. If you choose to update, all bets are off!

No one should be bombed with cyanide while walking on public land, especially not right outside their back door. But it has happened, and the Trump administration just lifted the ban on cyanide bombs so it can happen again.

Creating the world of Falling for Demons with @authorlaurawinter.bsky.social and then writing each book alongside one another has been one of the greatest joys of my career. My mental and physical health both spiraled in 2024 into 2025, and I often found myself overwhelmed and out of sorts...
