A yarn bowl in shades of blue, yellow, and flame-orange is shaped like a sleeping dragon. Inside it are two waiting balls of yarn in shades of light pink and burgundy, and two long needles are stored in a hole in the dragon's side

It's been an enormously frazzling week, but at least it ended in exactly the right way, with a trip to my favorite cake shop along with my (also favorite!) 16-year-old.

Bliss!

On an outdoor wooden table are two china plates, one holding a chocolate brownie and one holding a gorgeously frothy latte with a galaxy pattern in the milk. A face mask lies on the table in the corner of the shot.

An image of the front cover of Wooing the Witch Queen shows a sinister witch queen in a spectacular beaded dress embracing her handsome and adoring new librarian (in a black wizard's robe) inside a library of magic filled with crows and masks and flying books. Above and beside it is this snippet from the book: The sloping mountain path that led to Kadaric Castle was far too narrow and rocky to risk any stumbles. It was, in fact, an absurdly impractical place to seat the center of any government—even Felix knew that much. But then, the sort of person who greeted her visitors with flaming skulls probably didn’t care what anyone else thought of her decisions. According to the stories he’d heard, Queen Saskia not only delighted in surrounding herself with vicious, inhuman monsters—she was one herself and always had been. By the time he reached the final pair of skulls, Felix wasn’t even surprised to see the great, black, wooden doors swing open before him without a single servant in sight. The flaring green light from the skulls sent lurid streaks into the darkness of the entry hall beyond.

Today's writing fuel. (And yes, hot chocolate DOES taste even better when I'm drinking it from a cup w/the gorgeous character art Rafah Strife created for Claws & Contrivances! It makes me feel like my Very Determined Heroine & her sweet cinnamon roll hero are cheering me on.)

A small cup is on a table beside a fountain pen. The cup itself is filled with foamy hot chocolate, and on the side of the cup is character art for the lead couple of Claws and Contrivances. Rose, the blonde heroine in Regency dress, purposefully strides through a forest with small dragons clinging to her shoulder, arms, and legs, while a dazzled-looking tall Regency scholar in spectacles follows after her, holding her hand with his book hanging, forgotten, from his free hand.

At the left of the image is the front cover of Stephanie Burgis’s A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience, which shows an ominously closed entrance-gate at the top of the cover and a bat with its wings outspread at the bottom, all framed by climbing roses. Above and beside it is this snippet from the story:  “If I may?” Her husband rose to meet her, his broad chest filling her view and the cinnamon-and-cloves scent of his shaving cream filling her senses. “Naturally, I am pleased to hear you plotting another man’s doom, for once. In fact, I find it startlingly enjoyable. However, do you think you might allow me the satisfaction of knowing whom, exactly, you are planning on murdering on behalf of both of us?”

The cover of A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience shows an ominously closed entrance-gate at the top of the cover and a bat with its wings outspread. Beside it is this text: Growling, Margaret turned to her much larger husband. “Are you strong enough to break this door down?”
He shrugged. “Perhaps, but I wouldn’t be able to enter the house afterwards. If you recall, I am held under a code.”
“Ugh.” Of course. As per the Bosworth Accords, vampires were not allowed to enter any mortal residence without an invitation. “I could invite you once I was inside,” Margaret pointed out.
Lord Riven looked pained. “That might suffice—with an extraordinarily lenient judge—but have you considered trying a tediously obvious strategy first?” As she gazed back at him in confusion, his lips quirked. “Here.” Stepping up to her side, he rapped on the door, producing two loud, authoritative knocks.
Footsteps sounded from within a moment later, and Lord Riven smiled down at her with disconcerting tenderness. “You see? I do have some uses after all.”

3 UK advance reading copies, in gorgeous shades of flame, sit on a table next to pumpkins. The UK cover of Wooing the Witch Queen, by Stephanie Burgis, shows a man in a cloak riding headlong through the night towards an ominous castle with an illuminated, crowned female figure in its doorway and bats flying overhead in the moonlight. A potion vial surrounds that central image and is further framed by leaves and branches. Crows sit on the branches, and a tagline reads: Love can be a witch. A blurb from Ilona Andrews also reads: 'A fresh new voice.'

A screenshot of part of an Instagram reel from @TheBookishBox shows the date March above a picture of the standard cover of Wooing the Witch Queen, by Stephanie Burgis. Around it are the descriptive tags: Crow friends! Evil (???) quen with cinnamon roll love interest. Evil Queen's girl gang! Hidden identities. Cozy cottage-core vibes but make it fantasy.
