6 Best Ways to Relax and De-Stress When You Get Overwhelmed

Happy #fanartfriday, my friends! 💖 Thank you so much to everyone who’s posted such lovely pictures and reviews of my books over the past couple of weeks.
Want a closer look at the ARCs of These Deadly Games, including a sneak peek of the first page? 👀 Swipe to see! 👉
Hi hi! I recently got a bunch of new followers, so I thought I’d do another intro post. 🤓
✨GIVEAWAY✨ ***CLOSED-winner has been notified via DM.*** Want to win an autographed ARC of These Deadly Games??? 😱😱😱
You guys… I’M SO EXCITED! Print ARCs of THESE DEADLY GAMES will be arriving ANY DAY NOW!!! And then I’ll be able to take pretty pics of the actual book instead of these postcards! 😂 YAY!!!!! I can’t wait to hold this book in bookish form. I wrote the whole thing during the panini, and it’s going to be surreal seeing it transformed into a book with a pretty cover and everything. Eeeeeee. Stay tuned for giveaways happening here soon as well!
So, here’s the thing. I took these pics a couple months ago and literally can’t remember why. Is it because they’re comp titles for All Your Twisted Secrets (but then why is AYTS in the stack)? Are they comp titles for These Deadly Games? Did I just want to hug a few books by my friends? Why did I smirk so smirkily in pic 5? It’s all very mysterious… just like these books. 🧐
