Wicked things are coming 🌻

Hi, lovelies!

This summer has been a whirlwind for me. So much stuff has happened in my life, and it’s still not settled—so I’m probably going to need some recovery time after Wicked Ways is done and out there for you all to read or throw across the room. 👀

But first…I’m in the final stretch of edits now, so next up is formatting and uploading all the files, and then I’ll be sending out the digital ARCs to all you gorgeous and deranged members of the Chaos Team! 🤭

(If you want in on that, follow the link on my website, cjtorrance.com, and apply before September 1st!)

I’m so anxious right now, it’s insane. I was the same before releasing Fall Into Oblivion. Does this feeling ever go away? I don’t think it will… 👀

After Wicked Ways I’m going to dive right back into Fall Into Obsession. I know I just said I’m gonna need a break, but I’m 99,9% sure I won’t listen to myself there. Sorry, not sorry… 🫣

Lewis and Georgina both want my attention, and I can’t wait to give it to them. I’m so ready for you all to get to know them better.

Lewis is unhinged and happy about it. Georgina is…well, she’s Georgina. And the only thing keeping them civil is Wesley the Kitten. 🤫

And while I’m working on that, I have a new secret project in the works as well. If you peeked my Threads-post a while ago(which also made it to Instagram) you might have a tiny idea about it…but that’s all you’re getting.

Except maybe this:

“She’s mine now.” 😈

Aaaand… Shit… I’m really, really bad at keeping secrets, so please don’t tell anyone about this, but here is a tiny corner of the cover for this surprise project. (It’s not that much of a surprise anymore, though? 😅)

I’m just so excited, and I have trouble hiding it. If this project never sees the light of day, at least know you’re part of an exclusive club with insight into my intrusive thoughts. And my creative process. Because I usually make a cover before I start writing the story. I have no idea why, it just works. 👀🖤

If you noticed my little social media-break, I’m here to tell you I’m slowly coming back! 🖤

With everything that’s been going on with releasing another book and my day job being in a very…chaotic state (which is painfully on-brand for me) I had to choose what to focus on—and I chose edits. Now that that’s almost done, however, and my day job is settling a little bit, I’ll be back to try to promote my books and have some fun. 🤭

Thank you for all the support. The love. The chaos. 🖤

I never dared to hope for 1800 followers on TikTok, or so many lovely reviews on my book, or so many interested bookworms for my next release. This is insanity in the best way. I appreciate all of you so much, and I hope you know I love you all. 🌹🌻

Two months left until Wicked Ways is live, and I’ll officially have multiple books to my name out there! (I’m screaming. Can you hear me? 😩) This is surreal. I never thought I’d ever take the leap, but I did it. And now I’m doing it again. And again. And again.

I’m slowly, steadily, losing my mind to all these morally gray characters and their obsessions, but I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. 😈

67 days until you get to meet Noah!! 🌻🥰

Until next time—stay dark and obsessed.

C. J. 🖤
