September 2025 Newsletter
September’s newsletter introduced our book club read The Stolen Kingdom by Bethany Atazadeh—a clean fantasy romance retelling of Aladdin with forbidden magic and palace intrigue. Subscribers got a writer’s tip on beating writer’s block (permission to write badly!), plus free access to Chapter 1 of A Fog of Shadows. We also shared what’s next: editing Book Two (Unbroken Shadows) featuring Heather’s story, and early sketches for a brand-new series. NaNoWriMo announcements rounded out the month—who’s ready to write 50,000 words in November?
October 2025 Newsletter
October brought spooky season vibes! This month’s book club pick was The Lonely Mortician by D.M. Tregaskis—eerie, heartfelt, and perfect for fall. Newsletter readers got an exclusive creepy scene from A Fog of Shadows featuring the insect swarm trial (bugs crawling everywhere—yes, it was as terrifying to write as it sounds). We shared thoughts on celebrating small victories, teased Book Two progress with a character spotlight on Heather, and reminded everyone that IndieWriMo was just around the corner.
November 2025 Newsletter
November’s newsletter featured The Starlit Prince as our book club read—a romantasy full of secrets and star-crossed fate. Subscribers got a softer moment from A Fog of Shadows this time: Kateri and Magnus’s swoon-worthy banter (“Don’t you ever blink?”). We dove into the Gilded Dusk trilogy, introducing Reyna—an assassin hunting rogue vampires in Galveston with a reluctant alliance that sparks some serious enemies-to-lovers tension. Plus, IndieWriMo kicked off and we invited readers to join the writing challenge!
December 2025 Newsletter
December’s cozy newsletter brought Miriam’s Christmas Wish by Carla Kelly as our book club pick—tender, hopeful, perfect for snowy evenings. Newsletter subscribers got the exclusive title announcement for Book 1 in the Gilded Dusk series: The Crowned Hour (first reveal anywhere!). We shared thoughts on being a light for others, gave an update on editing A Line of Shadows (Book Two), and announced beta reader recruitment coming in early 2026. Happy holidays from the newsletter crew!
