Building a world that feels like fantasy but is set in the future is one of the things I loved most about writing Once Bitten, Twice Spy. Getting the sci-fi and fantasy to feel seamless rather than stapled together was the whole challenge. Glad readers are feeling it. 💙📚 #BookSky #romantasy

Final day to grab Once Bitten, Twice Spy FR€€ on the Zon. I loved this review because “heist plus” really is the heart of it—heists, romance, worldbuilding, danger, and a lot more emotional chaos than anyone planned for. 💙📚 #BookSky #Romantasy #FantasyRomance #IndieAuthor

Not yucking anyone’s yum, but I just can’t do dark romance. I had to DNF 2 different books in one day. I don’t know if it’s because I’m a guy or because my wife & I have too many friends divorcing jerks like this, but give me my romcom MMCs. Obsessive and controlling are not it.

All my #posterpit posts have different vibes, and this one is romcom💚 || They were never supposed to trust each other, much less team up for a heist that could save (or doom) the galaxy.
