Aunt Rita

 

Alt Text - Excerpt from Resonance Surge:

Dear Aunt Rita,
I've read your previous advice on being wary of bears who come with delicious edible gifts, and I have to disagree. My sweet bear friend Sally-mae has been baking me fruit pies for the last six months, and she has no designs on my body or heart whatsoever.
Why, the other week, she even offered to iron my shirt for my date with another woman. It wasn't her fault the iron malfunctioned and she burned a hole in my shirt.
~Just a Friend

Dear Just a Friend,
Oh, you sweet summer child. Do write to me once you two are mated so I can say "I told you so" while eating my favorite peach pie.
~Aunt Rita

-From the February 2073 issue of Wild Woman magazine: "Skin Privileges, Style & Primal Sophistication"

Aunt Rita is never wrong. A glimpse of Wild Woman magazine as the print editions of Resonance Surge release in Australia and New Zealand!

I hope you love this story of twins, love, and loyalty that refuses to break.

Resonance Surge - North American Release Date Change

 

Resonance Surge is coming out a week earlier in hardcover and ebook in the US and Canada!!

However, the audio will be delayed to August 15th due to narrator availability. I know none of us want to switch narrators mid-series, so this was the best option.

International: No change in July 27th release date for print/ebook. I’m sorry! This is totally out of my control (and the publishers in this case!).

I took this pic the other day when I wasn’t in deadline pjs. Yes, that is Santa on the shelf. Yes, I only realized after looking at this photo. Oh well, it’s only six months to Christmas. 

Just wrote a conversation between Illium and Elena. It’s so good to be back in this world.

I spent some time in the garden this weekend, cutting down dahlia stalks, scattering their seeds in the hope of random seedlings, potting up cuttings, and eating clementines off the tree for sustenance.
