Crowns Don’t Make Queens is officially out.
I’ve been working toward this day for so long that it feels slightly surreal to actually type that sentence.
Now, I can finally show you what I’ve been hiding.
The Bookish surprise
PR BOX SPOILER: If you’re one of my influencers and USPS is still holding your package hostage, this is your chance to scroll VERY quickly. 😂
I worked on it for the past few months. I designed a 3D figurine of Daton!
One broken horn. Axes. Armor. The Butcher, now sitting and waiting for his bloodmate to come back from Aldon, on the bookshelf.
The figurine is part of the full Crowns Don’t Make Queens PR package, along with a signed copy of the book and the rest of the goodies.
The full PR box is now on its way to my Romantasy Patrons. I am so grateful for your generosity. ❤️
Indie publishing means there isn’t a publishing machine waiting behind me on launch day.
There’s me.
And there’s you.
And there are a few things you can do today that can make a very real difference:
⭐ Buy the book.
Crowns Don’t Make Queens is available today in paperback for $14.99. The ebook is only $2.99 through September 29, then rises to $8.99 on September 30. The audiobook is coming later this year. I will try to offer signed paperbacks on my TikTok Shop soon. I’ll keep y’all updated.
⭐ Review it on Goodreads.
If you’ve already read an ARC, you can review Crowns Don’t Make Queens now. Reviews help new readers decide whether this strange, brutal, romantic world might be for them.
⭐ Review it on Amazon once you can.
And while we’re talking about reviews: if you’ve read Humans Don’t Have Horns and never reviewed it on Amazon or Goodreads, this would be an excellent day to give Book One a little love too.
⭐ Share the book.
Post it. Repost me. Send it to your romantasy-reading friend. Tell someone who loves morally gray characters, forbidden romance, political intrigue, complicated worlds, and people making questionable decisions in the name of love.
And mostly: thank you.
Thank you for being here. This Substack community plays such a big part in my books being read and talked about positively. You make this journey feel less like talking to a void and more like a big, warm hug.
A year ago, there was one book.
Today there are two.
Book Three is already being written. ❤️
