Hi, loves!
I’m going to just blurt it out—I have way too little free time lately, so my plans for editing have been moved so many times already.
BUT: I’m officially closing BETA feedback for Wicked Ways on June 30th, and I’ll be diving into edits the same day!
Honestly, Noah has been a brat during this whole process. He’s in my head, brooding, pouting, wondering why he needs someone to come in and correct his mistakes—but he definitely does. He’s not perfect. Neither of us are, so I’m beyond thankful for all of you who volunteered to help out with this.
An ARC of the finished book will land in your inboxes sometime before release as a thank you for your time and efforts, you deserve that and more 🖤
My day job has been demanding lately—relentless, actually—and it’s only become more and more so ever since I published Fall Into Oblivion in February. I’ve been juggling everything and trying to keep the fire burning, and honestly, it’s not easy—but the passion is stronger than I dared to dream about. Progress is slow, but it’s steady.
I’m currently sitting on 26K words on Fall Into Obsession (Lewis and Georgina’s book), but I will be slowing down to focus on edits for Wicked Ways.
The planned release date for Wicked Ways is October 20th 2025 🌻
It might be moved depending on edits, but that’s the target.
Shhh… You didn’t hear this from me. Top secret information.
(So obviously go scream it from the rooftops)
Next week I’m taking a much needed long weekend off. You might see some travel posts, some festival clips and other stuff pop up on my socials. I’ll be stepping away from writing promos for a few days to just…exist. Breathe. Be human.
(Okay, fine, I’m bringing my laptop, just in case, but still… 🤭)
I hope you’re all having the summer of your lives, with all the morally gray characters and dark themes we all crave 🖤
Until next time—stay dark and obsessed.
C. J. 🖤
