Hi First name / there! 

 

Happy New Year! Today is always an exciting one for me as goal setting and getting excited about a new beginning brings so many possibilities. I posted a TT video with my typical day + goal setting… check it out. As you can see on the video, I've chosen my word of the year, blessed, as a way to remind myself that even though I haven't achieved all the things, I have so much to be grateful for already. I'm also excited about my journey working with a publisher, Boldwood, for the first time and FINALLY releasing The Bachelor Pact series which was poised to launch last March but put on hold when I sold it. That plus the release of an upcoming romantasy series has me barely able to sit still as I write this. One thing I'm not looking forward to? Taking down the tree later. It has been loosing some serious needles lately…

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!! It's almost release week withTo Desire coming next Wednesday. If you preordered, ignore the published release date for end of the month. I was hopeful to get it out sooner but couldn't comitt with Heirs of Elydor also due to my publisher last month. If you're not already caught up with the series, books 1-3 are here and the 4th and final is less than one week away. Click below to add this bad boy to your GR!

 

Three months later, all of the books and my website are finally switched over from Bella Michaels to Cissy Mecca. Next up, the release of my long-awaited next series, The Bachelor Pact, with an official book one release date of March 11th. Of note… sometimes when working with a publisher things like the cover or even the book title changed. Never Fall in Love is now Fallen Hearts and the cover is also new which you can see here as it's up for preorder. This is finally happening!!!!!

We're just over one month from the release of Whisper of War and Storms coming February 11th. It's beginning to make the rounds as advanced readers snag their copies, and I am in love with this Instagram edit. And speaking of social media teasers, I've just posted an exclusive snippet on TikTok here highlighting the enemies-to-lovers relationship between the hero, Prince Kael, and heroine, Mev. (He thinks her name is Mia because she's reluctant to give her real name after he kidnaps her. The first name she thinks of is Mia from her favorite movie,The Princess Diaries.) Enjoy!
