My client bookshelf just got a lot more handsome with so many Aster Bishops gracing their shelves. Standby for full combustion when I get 10 more Kade & Lyriis. (All books available for purchase now: bookshop.org/wishlists/1e...)

Wow! Nearly 300 queries in about 31 hours! I may have cheated just a bit and started reviewing early so I could sneak a few in over 250. But I have to acknowledge why I have my limits in place - to make sure I can get through everything timely and with due attention.

I am officially open to queries! My plan is to stay open until I reach 250, with the goal of opening periodically (every other month?) once I find a balance. #amquerying #amwriting #literaryagent

*Gasp*! Cover reveal AND preorder discount for ONCE, AGAIN, ALWAYS by Amanda Gayle?! To quote Amanda (not on bsky), it's preorder season, so consider getting in on this delicious second chance romance with a discount! Code PREORDER25. Credit to @ivmaruva.bsky.social for the gorgeous cover art!

Cover reveal of Once, Again, Always, featuring a man and woman sitting on a blue sofa surrounded by books

A second-chance romance following a young woman who wakes up in the hospital with no memory of the past six years, only to find that she apparently married the one man she can’t stand—her arrogant and infuriating former boarding school rival.

Molly Graham’s day can’t possibly get any worse after she wakes up in a hospital bed with a head injury and amnesia. But then Aster Bishop—the Aster Bishop who made her life hell at boarding school—storms into her room calling her his wife.

To Molly’s shock, in the six years she no longer recalls, she somehow fell in love with a man she once despised. Persuaded by her lifelong friends to give her new reality a chance, she reluctantly returns to the home she and Aster share to try and piece together her life.

So much has changed, not least the considerate and devastatingly handsome man who spends every night sleeping on the sofa to avoid making her uncomfortable. This Aster is nothing like the entitled boy she once knew. Their chemistry is undeniable, but he’s distant with her, infuriatingly so. It’s clear he has secrets, and Molly can’t stand it. Especially knowing that she might never regain her memories.

That she fell in love with Aster Bishop once is hard enough to believe. But to fall in love again? To promise a future, always, when she can’t remember her past? It feels impossible when faced with a man she hardly knows and isn’t sure she can trust.

And yet…

Just an update re the imposter: they wised up & changed the name to something CLOSE to mine, but not actually right. *That profile is not mine.* I'm not on X for obvious reasons, so if you are still there, please do not engage with this person. I just worry so much they'll hurt or trick someone
