Hi, my loves.
A lot is happening, and a lot will keep happening!
I’ll start with this: ARC reviews are coming in for Wicked Ways, and I’m so so happy you guys seem to enjoy it! 🖤
Reviews are not for my benefit, and I try my best to stay out of them, but I’m way too curious to ever not stick my nose into Goodreads now and then. Noah is officially labeled as morally black. That’s pretty awesome.
(I was actually sitting here wondering if this book would be dark enough to label it as dark romance, but apparently…I’ve got some issues to work through, because you guys are calling out red flags left and right… 👀)
Only one more month until this one is out in the world, and I’ll be a published author of multiple books! I’m still a little shocked by that. But in a good way. 🌻
So, life, huh?
Life has a way of punching us all in the face when we least expect it. And that’s happened to me lately, but it’s on its way back up. I had to travel for a sad thing. Made it less sad by getting a tattoo while I was there. Then I fell apart and have been struggling with picking up the pieces for about a week. I am way better, and so ready to get back into this shared world I’ve accidentally created with my books. 👀 (IYKYK…)
And speaking of time: I’ve had very little time to write and proofread and format over the last month or so, but I am on my way back into it right now. I need to, for my own sanity. 😂 This release is approaching and I still have a couple of tiny details to work out before everything is ready to hit your shelves, whether physical or digital.
And, well, also because I have a little secret project I’m working on, next to Lewis and Georgina’s story, and I reallyreallyreally want to show it to you…
…but I can’t. Not yet.
For now, I’ll leave you with some keywords:
Roommate. Stalking. Watching. Institution for the Criminally Insane.
Yeah…It will be my darkest book yet. And you might get to know a few familiar names a little better. Keep an eye out. 👀
So what’s next?
Lewis and Georgina are patiently waiting. The secret project is not so patiently waiting. I’m going to carve out some time in my suddenly busy schedule to write more morally black characters for you all, and I’m going to enjoy every second. 🖤
I also want to read a book or two soon, so if you have any suggestions, don’t hesitate to press reply and tell me! I’d love some spooky, dark and romantic stories for fall, if you’ve got any. ðŸ¤
Until next time—stay dark and obsessed.
C. J. 🖤
