Oh hi, it's little old me. If you're a fan of ghost romance and fantasy books that aren't too typical...I think you'll love Vesselless.

I'm definitely feeling this reel lately. As some of you know, Vesselless was acquired by HarperVoyager, and so traditional publishing has added some time to the series timeline. I am so excited to work with Voyager, but also feel like I've been marketing this book forever! I know you all are excited and ready for book 2, and I am soooo ready to get into the rest of this series with you. Just a little longer, friends. Thank you so much for sticking with me through this in-between-period. So many great things are brewing, and have been brewing behind the curtain. I can't wait to show you what is going on with our Nizzara girl!

Not me casually sneaking in another stack of books like I don’t already have an entire library at home. If I don’t make eye contact, no harm done.

Vesselless left me emotionally unstable in the best way. Magic? Check. Twists? Check. An ending I’m still recovering from? Also check. Read at your own risk.

Yes. I did pull out chocolate chip cookies from my bag. Whether or not I dip them in my diet coke later is not your concern.
IF I had a copy of Manacled… it would be shown. 😭
