If you love academic settings, slow burn romance, and, of course, dragons, don't miss Flame Theory, coming your way this fall. It's kind of like How To Train Your Dragon meets Six of Crows, but instead of vikings, it's rich kids at an elite boarding school, and instead of street gangs it's secret societies and mafia. If you're still reading, come along for the ride! Don't miss any bookish updates by hopping on over to my VIP reader channel, the Blacklist. 🖤 #flametheory #yafantasy #fantasybookstagram #fantasytbr #bookrecs #fantasyreader #romanticfantasy #yabooks #bookstoread

Signed, sealed, delivered. Thank you to everyone who ordered. I've had a lot of people ask if these are the Kickstarter editions. These are not the special edition hardcovers that I sold on Kickstarter. Those will come in this summer. *Because I had to order a larger print run to cover the Kickstarter copies, I do have a few left of the hardcovers! Comment VIP to join my reader club and never miss out on another special edition. Book also available in KU and regular print editions. Audio coming this month! (Kickstarter backers were able to order this copy as well, so some backers did get this copy too.) It's been a wild ride since I first started talking about this book over a year ago. Thank you for riding this hype train with me. ♠️🔥 #indieauthor #dragonbooks #flametheory

I'm blown away that 30k of you are here. 30k people looking for heart-stealing fantasy with high stakes and immersive worlds. Books with swoony romance and all the feels but no spice. Fantasy you can trust. When I started out, I was told YA was hard to sell. I was told writing no spice romantasy would anger some readers (both the spice crowd and the Christian crowd). And it did. I've gotten my fair share of mean comments and messages, from readers on very different ends of the spectrum. I've learned to just let it all go. To keep writing. To keep my focus on Christ. I've learned that my writing isn't for everyone (because when we start out, we think we can market to EVERYONE). I've learned that trad publishing with a small press isn't for me. *It didn't go well for me, but that's just my experience. I've learned that indie publishing is my JAM. I get to be in control. And that also means doing literally everything. But I'm okay with that. I've learned that writing and publishing is so much harder than readers realize (but it's also totally doable and learnable). I've also learned that no matter how much I learn or feel in "control" of my publishing journey, the Lord is the one directing my steps. He's always in control, and that gives me great comfort. I'll never have it all figured out, but I'm so excited to celebrate this milestone with you all. 30 t h o u s a n d people is nuts, y'all. If you've been following a while and haven't read my books, now's a great time to start! You and a friend can buddy read one of my books! #fantasyreader #yafantasy #tbrpile
