Hello Friends,

I've been back from my trip to NYC for a couple of day. Had a blast but came back with a nasty cold! BOOOO. My car got hit last night and the person didn't leave any insurance info so I have $1000 deductible (EXPECT A PANGO BOOKS LISTING NEXT WEEK lol). If all goes as planned (ie this cold disappears within the next 2 days, I will be in San Diego this weekend to celebrate The Mean Ones with Tatiana! (Author of Boozhoo Books first book What Feeds Below.

Quick update about exciting things:

GIVEAWAYS:

Bad news first. If you won one of the Berkley book club books, I fear they have ghosted me. I have emailed them now more than 3 times. This final time, I included the folks who set up the zooms with Nick Medina and Daphne Fama. I will let you all know by Wednesday if this giveaway just isn't happening. They also agreed to a Bone Thief giveaway, so I'm just going to pause on that one. I'm really sorry! I don't know what else to do. I'm disappointed and annoyed.

Bookcon tickets: Amandadevoursbooks and BlackRose are the winners and I'll be reaching out to you within a couple of days!
