Hello and happy August, my beloved Renergades!

While I don't believe for one second that it's already August, this alleged month has some VERY interesting stuff in store!

1. SPECIAL EDITION BOOKS ARE ARRIVING

Yes, that's right! Revamped Amethysts & Alchemy, Kickstarter goodies, special edition paperbacks, and pink slipcases*** will be at my warehouse any day now! You you can preorder any of these from my shop, though the SB/GB black-out edition will be soon departing!

***GB pink slipcases are being discontinued after this year, with this being our last shipment EVER! So if you want the pink slipcase, get it now!! (Future books, including the permanent special edition version of SB, will have a custom 2-book slipcase (NOT holographic.))

2. AMA's ARE HAPPENING!

I am so excited to host C.N. Crawford and Deborah Wilde at this month's upcoming AMA (Ask Me Anything)! ALL paid Patreon subscribers are welcome to attend the Discord Event live, with All-Access members given special voice and prize access! If you can't make it, we'll post a recording to Patreon afterward. 

That said, I am slightly less excited about the other AMA happening this month, which you guys made possible via a rogue Renergade petition that got so many signatures in such a short time, it broke the form 😑

That AMA is with my mother, a.k.a. the real-life Dee Dee, and is happening tomorrow at 4:30pm MST. And THESE are the kinds of questions you guys are already submitting:

WTAF, PEOPLE? I refuse to let my mother answer these! (Even though I have zero control over what she says and will be utterly powerless to moderate.)

FML.

Please do NOT attend this AMA, which is open to all but highly discouraged. Instead, come to ANY of these others, which (probably) won't involve my sheer and utter mortification:

3. INCUBUS POV's are happening!

OMG OMG OMG. Remember that smoldering tent scene midway through Inked? Or when Talia was ripped out of Zayn's arms at the Waypoint and ended up swimming with murderous mermaids and dining with lascivious goats? Have you ever wondered what Zayn was thinking/doing during those times?

WELL, GUESS WHAT? You don't have to wonder anymore because those exciting chapters are being posted this month!!! So if you are a Gilded Blood fan and haven't already, please come join my Patreon, which allows YOU:

a) the pleasure of reading exclusive, never-before-seen chapters,
b) the special feeling of knowing Zayn's story will NEVER be published on Amazon or anywhere else, and
c) to directly and fundamentally support my work, which thereby allows ME to:

a) re-open previously finished series and weave even more magic,
b) have the comfort and security to write multiple books at once without having to worry as much about bills in the interim,
c) continue re-writing the ENTIRE Gilded Blood series from Zayn's POV, as well as other short stories that would not otherwise be possible.

I'll be making that last decision soon - whether to continue writing from Zayn's POV - based on how stable Patreon subscriptions remain. So if you've been on the fence about joining, I invite you to hope off that fence and dive on in! You'll not only have access to exclusive stories and special editions no one else will ever see, but you'll be helping others, myself included, continue exploring all the untold stories of the Gilded Blood series.

And to all who are already supporting the Patreon, your generosity and encouragement means more than words can say 💙)

PS - The butt-cobra clad, holographic foiled INKED: RETOLD special edition will be available for preorder later this summer!! (Available ONLY to Patreon members.)

4. CONVENTION SEASON IS KICKING INTO FULL GEAR!

This summer, I'll be at Once Upon a Con, Dragon Con, Rocky Mountain Readers Retreat, SLC Fan X, and later on, Romantasy Con as a featured guest 🥲

Will I have the privilege of seeing you at any of these?

Meeting and interacting with my readers is the joy of my career. Thank you for being here, for making this all possible, and for all of the incredible peens 🍆 you have given me along the way. I love you all!

Cheers!❤️
