Hi Reader,

HUSBAND: So my work colleague is subscribed to your newsletter. She's really loving your emails. Apparently, you're sassy?

ME: *watching a video of a cat at the chiropractor and only half paying attention* Excellent. Glad she likes them. Yes, I am sassy.

HUSBAND: *rings hands and gets shifty-eyed* There's only one problem...

ME: Yes?

HUSBAND: She says she doesn't know what you write. Like, do you only write short stories? Do you write full-length novels? She says she's not sure. I'm sure she probably just missed an email somewhere...

ME: .......

HUSBAND: ........ *he is still wringing his hands and looks like a cat who has been dropped on the stoop*

ME: ........

HUSBAND: I'm sure she just missed an email.

ME: *drops the phone into lap* No, no. I legitimately don't think I ever explained it. And if she's having that problem then everyone else probably is too. Yikes. (I am face-palming myself now).

SO IF YOU ARE CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT I DO

• I write romantic young adult and new adult fantasy that you can snuggle into like a warm blanket.
• Yes, they are full-length books. No, you can't read them yet. But soon. I promise.
• If you liked Rapacity, you would like my books.
• If you like enemies-to-lovers, sassy banter, and cat-and-mouse romances, you would like my books.

There. We've cleared that up.

At the end of the day, it's okay to make mistakes. I mean, I've been running a newsletter for how long* and never explained what I write?

(*Six months.)

This is the part of the newsletter where I say "you don't have to be perfect. Don't wait until you feel like you're perfect or have it all figured out to start something you've been wanting to start. Just start."

But meh.

I think the takeaway with this one is actually don't be like me.

Or if you are like me, make sure you surround yourself with people who will tell you when you're doing something that doesn't work.

One more thingity-thing

Also, before I go, here are the authors I'm doing swaps with this week. If a cover catches your fancy, you can click on it and check it out! They're both freebies. You're welcome.

Dragon shifters, their magical riders stuck in one academy. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

In a land of three warring kingdoms, a centaur huntsman and a warrior priestess might be the only hope for peace. If the two enemies don’t kill each other first, they might even find love. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Best,

Sarah

P.S. - If light and fluffy romantic fantasy doesn't sound like something you're into, can you do me a favor and unsubscribe? If we're not a good fit, that's totally fine. You might not realize this, but I actually pay for the size of my email list, which means I'm paying a very small amount for you to be here. It's something I will gladly do, but I don't want you here if you are like "ew fantasy."

No hard feelings.

The door is right here.

I mean, erm, down there. In the footer.

P.P.S. - Who is your person who will tell you when things aren't working? Reply to this email and let me know!
