Speaking of ARCs landing in the world, MINE just arrived. 😱🀯 Holding my printed words in my hands is freaking unreal. Thankfully, I just read the 1st 3 chapters and was happy with them (those 1-word overhangs, though... *shakes fist*) πŸ˜‚

Definitely feeling Pisces szn this week, I’ve been *so* inspired with this brand new chapter! Granted, it’s a kissing chapter πŸ˜‰ But it’s been good to have a brief moment of HEA following book 1, before book 2’s master plot comes CRASHING down… #WritingCommunity #AmEditing
