Nightbloom Society… you picked the dangerous one 😏

 

You know that feeling you get when you've gone too far? Did more than you know you should have?

 

 

 My hubby and I just took a week off and basically hid in a quiet little lakeside retreat. Just recharging and enjoying each other's company. It was good for the soul. 

 

Especially this time of year as the birds sing in the morning, and the air smells like pansies and potential.

 

So this is a gentle reminder we all need sometimes:

 

Step outside. Watch a bee in the dandelions. A sunset. Hug your loved ones. 

Then we can come back stronger than ever, ready to release the stories in our heads and hearts. 

 

And speaking of stories…

 

 

🖤 A gentle “go touch grass” moment (from me, lovingly 😄)
🗝️ Drystan Falcrest… you did this to yourself
🔥 What’s actually coming in September
👀 The other man (you’ve been warned)
💌 A little something I’m building just for us
🎁 Free books, because obviously

 

 

They call him Professor.

Drystan Falcrest is the kind of man who walks into a room and doesn’t need to ask for attention… he already has it. Not because of what he says.

Because of the way he watches. Like he knows something you don’t.

 

But there are things that don’t add up.

He keeps strange hours. Shows up where he shouldn’t.
And there are whispers tying him to things no one wants to be tied to.

 

Some say he’s connected to the most dangerous power in the city.

Others say…

 

 

And then there’s Arisa.

He watches her like she matters more than she should.

Steps in when he shouldn’t. Knows things he shouldn’t.

And still tells her—

 

So tell me…

Is he her salvation?

Or the thing that finally destroys her?

 

I know I've been dropping hints about The Locke Mystique coming to kickstarter soon.

And now, I can tell you more…

It's officially headed to KS in September! 

 

I don't have my page up yet, but you guys will be the first to know when it is! This will be my first ever kickstarter campaign and I'm equally excited and terrified, lol. But I know it will be good, because I got my OG's here in the Nightbloom Society.

 

 A foil hardcover.

 A custom dust jacket that is jaw dropping gorgeous.

 Two custom art pieces.

 A custom illustrated map of Brimclifffe.

 And more swag to come. It's all still coming together, but I can't wait to start sharing it all with y'all!

 

We turn our attention to the other man.

Brilliant alchemist.
Intolerable aristocrat.
And very, very interested in Arisa… for reasons he’s not sharing with anyone.

 

I have a feeling he’s going to complicate things for you. 😏

 

I am still working on the archives, which will be a special place where all past newsletters live along with other Nightbloom only things. 

 

I also mentioned creating an inner circle, where we can have live discussions, gush about books, and dissect characters to our hearts' content. 

 

for those of you who like being a little closer to the chaos, it’ll be where I pull people in for early reads, opinions, and the occasional “help me hype this thing” moment.

Basically… if you’ve ever wanted to be in it with me, this is where that happens.

 

I want it to be somewhere you’ll actually want to hang out.

So tell me—

Would you rather that live on Facebook… or Instagram?

Just hit reply and let me know. I’m building this with you in mind.

 

I’ve got a couple of free book giveaways for you this month (because I can’t help myself 😄)

 

 

I’ll be sharing a first look at one of the custom art pieces—just a sketch for now… but it’s already so good.

 

And you’ll get to meet Keir McGregor.

(Pray for Arisa. That’s all I’m saying.)

 

Also… quick reminder:

June is my birthday month.

And I’ve got a gift for you.

A real one.

I’m not saying anything else yet… but it’s coming. 😎

 

Until next time, remember to step outside, slow down, relax. The stories will be waiting for you when you return. 🥰
