I LOVED Familiar (!) - the pacing (and change of pace); the twists and reveals; a terrific, and unconventional, romance. EVERYTHING here to keep you entertained until the very end.

I would very much like to get off this ride tyvm

Oh thank God. It's only three books.

If anyone wants a hardcover copy of either AHOBAI (getting 2) or FAMILIAR (getting 1).

I'll sign it and send some themed goodies with it. I won't have prices until I get the invoice, but I'm hoping I discount them to just cover the cost of returns.

Uh.... Woke up to shipping notifications that I'm 99% sure are IngramSpark returns after literally finding out I'm being laid off at my day job.

Awesome.

Thank you Hope 🖤

✨🗼 I just got back from Tokyo, so I'm mega out of it atm. But I got to visit some new places (and ones I haven't seen in nearly 15 years), including some retail stores for video game companies that inspired my writing. 🖤
