Status Update

Tessonja Odette is starting

WRITING UPDATE: I'm so excited to be starting on my adult fae fantasy romcom! I'm bringing some strong Anne x Gilbert vibes in this academic-rivals-to-lovers steamy gaslamp fantasy. A quirky author of smutty romance and an arrogant fae poet clash in a magically binding bet of who can seduce the most lovers. A Rivalry of Hearts releases June 2024, so add to your to-read shelves now!
