If you could have a dinner party with 5 authors, alive or brought back to life, who would you choose?

I want to have dinner with ALL my author friends, but these five would be fun!

Unfortunately, this is where we are headed... shameful...🥺

RIGHT?! I NEEEEEED book two. I'm 100% signing up to be an ARC reader.

I freaking LOVED Skalterra by Nightmare by M.T. Zimny and I NEED book two as soon as possible.

Happy four year veganversary to me!

I like to do a little personal celebration each year,. Maybe I'll try a new recipe for dinner or something. :3

An arm coming up from the bottom holding a book, The Shield, in its hand. The Shield by Alexa Shay, Book One of the Shield Series. The cover is blue foresty scene with a girl walking into the woods with a gold circle around her.

Not to brag, but my book, The Shield, was a bestseller in June at Bundok Books (Puyallup, WA). 💙

I have four confirmed events coming up soon where I'll be selling my book, The Shield, and I hope to see you at them!

The Shield is a spice-free, YA supernatural romance about two teens destined to fight each other for the fate of the universe. #booksky

That is so cool! I adored the Pink Panther as a kid. I thought he was the coolest. I have a gold bracelet that's the Little Golden Book pattern.

My husband would be so jealous to hear this. 🤣

Awww, I love that! I'll bet it feels like coming home. 💛

What book have you owned the longest?

I'm curious to see what other books people have had for a long time. No surprise, but most of the childhood books I was able to save were Christmas ones.

Removing beloved scenes that no longer serve the story is so sad, but necessary. What's a scene you were sad to take out?

I've updated my newsletter to have exclusive monthly bonuses! The first short story comes out on 8/1 and it's one I've wanted to share for a few years now. It was inspired by a painting I fell in love with, then purchased after a year of pining.

Reviews help books get noticed and I'm so very grateful to have made it to double digits.

The Shield is a YA supernatural romance about two teens destined to fight each other for the fate of the universe. They start out as enemies, become friends, then grow into more. But they still have to fight.

Part 6 of explaining common bookish terms.

There are a ton of bookish terms to cover, so I'm not sure how many parts this will be. Comment any you want to see!

I made all my year one Author Goals in only 6 months! Time to set some stretch goals. :3

I'm so grateful to all the people I've met who've loved and supported me on this crazy ride. 💛

I love Bundok Books and Baley Noal, so getting to spend an entire day with them was amazing!

Do you know what's fun to do just before midnight?

Delete your website's home page. (I made a copy of another page and deleted it. SOMEHOW it deleted the home page.) I totally wanted to stay up late to remake it. But AlexaShays.com is beautiful once again!

My friends bought a signed copy of The Shield for a little free library! 💛

Hearing a professional narrator read part of your book will give you CHILLS.

And that's all I'll say about that for now. ;)

I've done one YouTube conference as a speaker and I've done a few lives. I want to start doing regularly scheduled lives soon too. :3

THAT IS SO SWEET OF YOU TO SAY! 😭🥰
