No bc wdym my book SMOKE AND SCAR came out TODAY where:

SHE’s the fae, he’s the human
SHE’s over 250 years old, he’s 28
SHE’s the one with wings
SHE’s the potty mouthed tavern-dwelling baddie
SHE comes to HIS rescue
SHE’s the shadow daddy… and he’s just Ken

And you can read it right NOW?!?

Smoke and Scar (Shattered Crown, #1) Birthed in shadow. Forged in fire. A Splintered Kingdo…

My sister released a romantacy novel (think Sarah J. Maas, Rebekah Yaros, etc).

According to the goodreads reviews (based on advance reader copies), it's actually pretty good!

And he was RIGHT

But damn, I want to keep doing it.
