I think a LOT of people feel this way and I pray it’s just a matter of time that the world wakes up and the atrocities stop. We have to believe these little things help. Keep talking, keep sharing, keep posting, keep protesting, keep resisting. Because the day hope ends. That’s the day they’ve won.

A vibrant sunrise is partially obscured by a network of bare tree branches, silhouetted against an orange and yellow sky. The sun appears large and bright, with a slight glow.

Good morning, sunshine.

I think it’s different depending on the group, and how comfortable/chatty everyone is. I expect to guide the discussion a little at the beginning. I’ll have a list of questions on the book, and everyone will have a chance to speak…

A collage of photos: a weathered stone window in Gothic architecture; a classic red Vermont farmhouse in autumn, with a low stone wall in the foreground; a forest scene, with a path cutting through the trees, suffused by sunlight, branches reaching towards each other; a man’s hand clasping a woman’s hand, with a snow-covered fir tree in the background; many candles, all lit, dripping in candleholders; a dark-haired woman floating face upwards in water, surrounded by white flowers, her eyes open. Beneath the last picture is the title of the novel, “This Ends Now.”

A graphic with wrath of a Wildflower in the center. Bubbles of text around it say: Morally grey, urban fantasy, cursed dark queen, two realms, dual pov, romance, missing brother, new adult

The pitch. Decades ago, the princes of Lucis realm cursed her before they left to take over earth. Liming the days she can cross realms to hunt them and forcing her to take a mortal soul each visit has made killing the princes difficult, but not impossible. Now she is finally closing in on the prince with the key to breaking her curse, but she doesn't know that one of the mortal monsters she took on her journey to vengeance has a very loyal brother. Ryland finally has the job he needs at greeds, the exclusive nightclub where his brother was last seen two years ago. As he gets closer to discovering what happened to his brother and a trail of other missing men, he meets a beautiful partner to help him with the hunt. Together they find that their government is lying to them and monsters are real. And they are hunting one.

Book comps: the book of azreal, city of gods and monsters, throne of the fallen

Worlds collide when a dark queen's journey to break her curse forces her to take a human prisoner back to her realm. His brother will do anything to find out what happened, including infiltrating an exclusive nightclub where men seem to disappear.

Mood board with glowing magic in cupped hands, a teenage girl looking at her phone while chewing her nails, hands bound in rope, a ballerina balanced on one leg, someone spying through a window, teenage boys glaring at each other, five headshots with a teenage girl in the center of two teenage boys and two men, magic swirling around a puckered mouth, bared vampire fangs, and a silhouette of an embracing couple looking at each other. A badge reading "Killer Nashville Claymore Finalist" is in front of the pictures in the upper left quadrant.

Fantasy fugitives kidnap a ballerina w/ a panic disorder for their leader’s magic in her, but though they threaten her family so she'll live w/ them until it can be returned & forbid ballet school, she risks everything after she bonds w/ them & falls for 1

A mood board for Princess Mira, showing a Black princess with dresses and jewelry, a message in a bottle, a crown made of shells, a conch shell, and romantic scenes of the princess with her love interest, a white princess with red hair, including their faces pressed together, kissing in the reflection of a handheld mirror, and running across a grassy field arm-in-arm. The lesbian pride flag is subtly depicted across the grid, with the first row of picturetinted light orange, the second row tinted cream/white, and the third road tinted a rosy pink.

To pay her own bride price, Princess Mira hunts for lost treasure—but to break the curse binding her to a vengeful pirate’s ghost, she must fall in love with a fisherman’s son.

The problem?

Her heart already belongs to another princess.

A picture of the publicity materials for the book Hits Different with both the celebrity (tasha ghouri) and professional author’s names (Lizzie Huxley-Jones) and photographs clearly displayed

A screenshot of the Amazon page for the book, where Lizzie Huxley-Jones is clearly listed as an author. The blurb reads: DISCOVER THE SIZZLING DANCE ROMANCE FROM TASHA GHOURI, LOVE ISLAND STAR AND DISABILITY CAMPAIGNER! Cassie needs a change. She's in a job she hates, dating a guy who couldn't care less about her, and secretly dreaming of making her dance ambitions a reality. But that's all they are, dreams. Because no way could she actually do it . . . right? But then an opportunity to dance on tour with a global superstar presents itself and Cassie decides to give it a shot. Jetting off for a hot summer in Ibiza, her dreams seem closer than ever, and so does real love. Levi, the guy she keeps bumping into, sees and uplifts her in a way no one else ever has. If only Cassie could believe in herself like he does, she might find that life hits different when you learn to love yourself first . . . An empowering dance romance from Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and Lizzie Huxley-Jones, perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Talia Hibbert!

Finally! A decent example of how ghostwritten celebrity fiction can be presented & marketed, with the professional author’s name (Lizzie Huxley-Jones) clearly displayed & her authorship clearly recognised.
That wasn’t so hard, was it?! Well done, @hotkeybooks.bsky.social
