@e_stavs @KateMacAuthor Love this!! 😍🖤✨

New character art! Commissioned from @KateMacAuthor. ❤️

Dante generally does NOT ask women to dance. (Or, you know, talk to them…) But if it means getting to hold Catherine, there’s nothing he can’t overcome.

Cover reveal & release date for CATHERINE IN BOOTS coming 12/9!

[E.P. Stavs @e_stavs]

Jumping into #FantasyIndiesNovember late, and sharing the MCs from my dual POV, Puss & Boots meets Twelfth Night inspired romantasy, CATHERINE IN BOOTS. ❤️

I don’t know about you all, but I am a complete sucker for a blushing, tongue-tied MMC. 😆

Also cats…

And just like that, I read the final word of the final read through of Star of Shalik 😭💙🌙✨

Four years, countless drafts, alpha and beta reads, two rounds of professional edits… there’s tears, blood, and stardust on these pages and I can’t wait to share them with you!

raindrops that fall silently
and touch nothing

words spoken
that disappear into the blank page

moments shared by no one

a river of warm notes
swallowed by the sea

the winter of #reality

lone figures dancing
in the shadow of a dying moon
