Debut Update: Behind the Scenes

Updated: Jun 23

Hello! I've been neglecting my poor blog lately and I'm sad about it. Thus, I bring thee a post! It's thrilling, I assure you and has all the updates on Janis and the Reaper. Buckle up, buttercup, here comes the chaos of decision-making, ARC boxes, and more.

What's been going on? Well, I'll tell ya...

A Showdown of Cover Artists


Two cover artists, both alike in dignity, each vying for the spotlight, ready to dazzle with their artistic prowess. But there's a twist - I can't make decisions! Gasp! Yes, you read that right. I am caught in a battle of creativity, torn between two stunning options. Will it be a clash of styles or a harmonious blend of artistry? Only time will tell! And also, who knows, I might even end up using both because embossing hardcovers is an option. EMBOSSING. CAN YOU IMAGINE???


New ARC Boxes


Hold onto your butts, because brand-new ARC boxes are on their way! Thanks to my amazing PR firm, July will be full of me prepping boxes to ship out, once again. I am excited to be working with a company that knows more about what they're doing than I ever could. It takes a lot of the weight off my shoulders, if not my wallet. But ARC readers are special, they help drum up buzz and post early reviews, so they really deserve to be spoiled with cute gifts and gorgeous art.


I'm Back!


I'm focusing the next few months on my social media. I took a very long break from that energy-draining place because I liked my soul not being sucked. That sounds weird. Anyway, I'm sure my views and engagement suffered for it but I find I don't care. I have to do it at my speed so I don't get burnt out again. Either way, I'm back, especially on TikTok and Threads, so come say hi!


Time to wrap it up...


Through the whirlwind of decision-making and last-minute tweaks, I'm riding a roller coaster of emotions. And to top all that off, I'm ten days away from the deadline to finish my next novel. Please, someone, send help, I am so stressed. Read more about Stray and Anya's story here.



Stay tuned for more adventures, more surprises, and more good-natured complaining as I navigate the twists and turns of the self-publishing process. Until next time, babes. Bye!
