Aidan Hart is not getting a divorce.

And he’s not fleeing town to avoid getting served papers. He’s just going to leave for a bit, make Luke miss him, figure out why everyone, from his husband to his parents, keeps abandoning him. He’s not going to get distracted by a flirty bellhop with webbed fingers and cute socks, or by the fact the place is 100% haunted.

And Rian "Marin", a selkie, is not going to be working at Afton’s Bed and Breakfast for Folk and Folklore for much longer. After five years of begging Afton to give his skin back, it is time to move on. He will never return to the ocean, but he could be happy. He just needs to assimilate into the human world.

Which is going smoothly until he finds a finger in Afton’s room, and someone who sure acts like a human checks in to the bed and breakfast.

Someone who keeps reminding Rian he’s married, despite no husband or ring being in sight. Someone who Afton says is a great match for Rian.

The harder Rian tries to get away from Afton, and the closer he gets to Aidan, the more sinister his employer’s plans seem, and the less likely it seems there will be a human world to assimilate to.

I was really lucky and my job let me go into negative PTO while I grieved. He was my best friend.

Oooo so exciting! I try to up my exfoliating and lotioning game prior to a tattoo.

Other than that, I always bring a snack, usually trail mix. I find it has the perfect mix of sugar, fat, and protein.

"The Thursday Murder Club" is sitting on my TBR shelf and Lanyon's books look interesting. :)

Both. It's nice to see everything come together in big and little ways, but maybe fine tuning more? Seeing all the itty bitty dots connect is like 🤌

What about you?

I'm going to see where it takes me!

I hope it kind of makes the editing process more streamlined.
I spend several drafts just figuring out how I want the plot to go.

And then several more cinching it in.

Maybe I'll try outlining my next project, instead of letting the stars and vibes decide my character's fates.

IDK, I've got a corkboard now so I feel like things could be different. Like this could be me.

To finish my library book or to start Sunrise on the Reaping immediately, that is the question.

Follow up question: To get it on my Kobo e-reader or to get a physical copy

If you're boycotting Amazon and still need something to read, The Dark Side of Super is available almost everywhere. Kobo (and _), Google Play, Smashwords, Hoopla, wherever you want to get it I've tried to make it widely available.

Book cover for “Mystic Missives” by Z.G. Clover. Title and author name is in white font. The cover has a blue to black gradient from the top to the bottom. Near the bottom is a drawing of a factory with monster faces hidden in the smoke coming from the smokestacks.
