Hello everyone!

We mentioned last month that our Kickstarter for A Bargain for Love was starting in September and we’re happy to say it’s live as of yesterday (AND was funded in under an hour!)! Currently, you can take advantage of our three early bird tiers. One tier is sold out as of now, but the two book box tiers are still open to an unlimited number of backers! The early bird tiers will be closing tomorrow 9/10/26 @ 11:59 pm EST.

You can follow or become a backer of this project by clicking o...

Hello everyone!

We hope you are all having an amazing summer and are finding some time to relax! We’ve been quite busy since last month, so we’ll dive right into all the updates!

We are planning a super fun Kickstarter for our Beauty and the Beast meets The Little Mermaid retelling novelette, which will include the cover above, plus a special edition illustrated version with sprayed edges, too! If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, you can follow our pre-launch pa...

Hello everyone! 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

It’s been a super productive month and a half for us, and we’re proud to share a few exciting updates! Let’s jump right into it.🤗

We’re so excited to be part of the Tales as Dark as Time anthology with our novelette, A Bargain for Love! We absolutely loved writing Mel and Marrok’s story, and we hope everyone who reads it falls in love with them too.

We won’t have the rights back from the wonderful Jane Rose, who made this anthology possible, until Septem...

Hello everyone! 🤗

It’s been a while since we’ve sent one of these, but we wanted to share some updates — especially with the one-year anniversary of publishing When the Raven Soars coming up. We genuinely have no idea how an entire year has already passed because it still feels like it was just yesterday.

These past few months, we’ve been busy working behind the scenes lately, and while there’s still a lot we can’t talk about just yet, we’re excited about what’s coming next!

Hey everyone!

After a long January, February snuck up on us, so we figured this was the perfect time for a little newsletter catch-up. We’ve got some writing updates to share, a brief talk about our Audiobook (because we’re still so excited 🤩), a few new ways to grab WTRS’s special edition, and some life updates—so let’s dive in.

Last time we shared that we were working away on our Anthology short story for the Tale as Dark as Time event, alongside Book 2 in The Fianna Fáil Chronic...

Hey everyone!

We’ve officially entered that end-of-year, how-did-we-get-here-so-fast season, with the holidays suddenly right around the corner. As they approach and we start wrapping up another chapter, we wanted to share a little update with you… and yes, there are some exciting things coming too!

Our audiobook is officially finished! Our narrators Róisín (@ro_lynam_narrator) and Keith did such an amazing job bringing WTRS to life, and we couldn’t be more excited with how it tu...

Hey everyone!

It’s been a little while, hasn’t it? The seasons have turned, the air’s a little crisper, and we finally have a quiet moment to sit down and say hello again.

Life and writing have both been moving at that slow-and-steady pace. Book 2 is still taking shape and we’re learning to enjoy the process (and all its detours) along the way. Some weeks feel full of momentum; others are more about gathering small sparks of inspiration.

In between writing sessions and story brainstorming, we’ve be...

Hey everyone! 👋

Happy August! We’re back with some exciting updates — and yes, we may be writing this a little later than usual, but in our defense… there’s been a lot going on: Kickstarter fulfillment, audiobook updates, drafting Book 2, heatwaves and we celebrated our 24th birthday on August 2nd! 🎂🥳

Speaking of celebrations...
👀 Did you see that Just Another Bookish Ball tickets went live?! We’re so excited — are we going to see you there? Com...

Hey everyone!🤗

We know we said we would wait at least until the second week of June (please forgive us🙈), but we are so excited we couldn't wait to share everything that's been happening with you all! Can you believe it’s already been a week since our book release? It feels surreal! We’ve been absolutely blown away by the support — from friends and family, to brand-new readers diving into our world for the very first time. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts💖

We’re keeping it short and sweet this time—so this newsletter might look a little different than usual. But we promise we’re not trying to take over your inbox. We just couldn’t let today go by without sending you this super exciting, shout-it-from-the-rooftops kind of update:
