Okay, but can we talk about my Boo Hag for a minute? 👀 She’s the kind of monster who makes you forget you’re supposed to be afraid. One touch, one breath… and suddenly you’re wondering if being claimed by the monster is actually such a bad thing. 😉

Authors: Do you ever forget what you wrote? Because apparently... I do. This happened today, and I’m still laughing. 😂 A big thank you to @tmkwriter for reminding me of a very important character detail in The Vanity of Devils because apparently my own brain had misplaced this information. 😂

Some quotes are romantic.  Some are poetic.  And then there are these…  Swipe for completely out-of-context moments from Wishing Upon a Monster that sound unhinged, questionable, and slightly illegal 🐷👀   (They make sense in the book. I swear.)  #outofcontext #Quotes

A brick wall with a cut out photograph of a hand writing “out of context” on the wall with a piece of paper and the word”quotes” on it.

A being wearing a pair of black pants. There is a pice of paper with the text above it saying “I was relieved to see that, standing up, I was above batting height, and even more relieved to see that my groom discovered pants.” An out of context quote from the monster romance Wishing Upon a Monster: A Monster Brides Romance.

A stylized image of a pig flying through the clouds. The image reads “We aren’t counting the illegal flying pig races?” A quote from the Forced Marriage Monster Romance Wishing Upon a Monster.

An open copy of Wishing Upon a Monster: A Monster Brides romance is displayed so that the viewer can see the entire paperback cover. Small outlines of male genitalia dot the background of this purple image. A pice of paper with a tack has a quote
from the story written on it, “Yeah, I wanted kids too,but Hells Bells,I wasn’t sure my vagina was that flexible. We hadn’t trained for this.” This size difference, eldritch horror, he falls first, monster god, devoted house husband monster romance is available on Amazon, with KU, and in paperback.

Sweet or spicy? ❤️🌶️ Because Olan does both… and in a way that will have you wishing for another bite. He’s the kind of monster you’d fear in the dark— until he’s the one promising to protect you… and be the very thing that ruins you.

Olan was born among the stars with one purpose: grant wishes. Across the cosmos, he traded in fortune and fate—until he came to Earth and found something unexpected: Friendship. When that human—and his family—died without ever wishing to be saved, Olan learned something devastating:
