Who wants a love story? Over the moon to announce I’ll be bringing my next novel DEVIL INSIDE to Mira/Harlequin Books in 2026. There’s no greater love in this world than demonic possession. Immense thanks to editor Emma Cole for fulfilling my personal dream to finally shout I AM A ROMANCE AUTHOR!!!!

VICTORIAN PSYCHO by Virginia Feito is possibly the perfect book. Absolutely precise, deadly, hilarious, bloody, unhinged. Incredible.

This was so so good! Thank you @claymcleod.bsky.social for bringing some much-needed joy & answering our questions (including mine about Coop!) so thoughtfully. I did love that you’re Ryan Gosling, though I was thinking of your current trajectory like Tom Cruise in Days Of Thunder… Clay Like Thunder

FYI, this title is already 17% off in our shop. And if you sign up for our newsletter, you save an additional 20% (one-time code). With all those discounts, you'd pay less than at B&N, *and* we'd still make twice as much as we would from the B&N order. That's the power of ordering direct.

Just tore through this in a day, such a totally gripping tale of snowy horror driven by deeply compelling characters really going through (and fighting through) some shit. OUR WINTER MONSTER by @equinoxsociety.bsky.social is an absolute must read and is already a lock on my faves of 2025 list!
