Happy Friday the 13th! 


Good omen, eh? Though in all seriousness, it's been a pretty good month for me. 


Fyre Fly's release has been a huge success! You guys helped push it up to #1 in Transgender Romance for a week or two, and it's still hanging pretty high up on a variety of LGBT+ related categories. The reviews have been pretty good, too :) Thank you to all my ARC readers and anyone who bought a copy! Your support continues to mean the world to me.


I finally have a date for Fyre's audiobook launch! The day of truth is March 10th. In fact, the book is officially up for pre-order today. The wonderful Sena Bryer is the narrator, and it's been so awesome listening to her narration of Fyre! I've also got a special silly secret promo that I'll be posting on social media in the next couple weeks, so keep an eye out for that 👀


Semi related: Have I mentioned I launched a TikTok? I still have no idea what I'm doing.


Otherwise, I'm just ramping up for Seattle's Emerald City Comic Con coming up on March 5th. I finally decided how many books I'll be bringing to the event: 450. I arrived at this number after a lot of humming and hawing, calculating how many books I've sold at previous events per attendee, and then scaling that to make sure I can actually physically sell that many books given the number of hours I'll be there. Over 4 days, 450 books averages to 112 per day, or about 15 books per hour, which seemed pretty reasonable to me. 


It was only after I placed the order that I calculated exactly how much room 450 books would take up. The TL;DR is that my booth is going to be absolutely overflowing with books, hahaha. The other authors are going to judge me (rightfully).


Progress on Fyre 3 and Salty 2 are going slow but steady. Both books are over halfway through drafting. Nye 2 and Kanin 5 are on the backburners for now, but I'm very excited to get back to them once the current books are complete!


Well, that's all I can think to tell you about this month. Hope you have a great February, and looking forward to chatting again soon :)
