June was a busy month, preparing for the release of To Know a Dragon Spy, but I did read a few books I enjoyed:

The big Smashwords July Summer/Winter Sale started today and runs through the month. Lots of books are on sale, including all of mine except my new release, To Know a Dragon Spy. I've put my Chronicles of Tournai, Elemental Magicae, and To Love the Dragon King 50% off on Smashwords this month, so go grab them there and browse lots of other great books too and stock up on summer reading!

We've come to the last of this year's Pride Month book rec lists, these with brown, black, and white covers. If you missed any, the rest of this year's rainbow are red/orange, yellow/green, and blue/purple/pink.

​The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend (I'll beg forgiveness in advance for sometimes going over the sentence limit!). Check out the group's Facebook page to read all the snippets and add lots of great books to your TBR. You'll find all sorts of books with the common thread that the main character identifies as LGBTQ.

To Know a Dragon Spy is out in the world now! Yay! This second book in the Dragons of Ivria series is a slow burn, enemies-to-lovers-ish romance that ties up some loose ends from the first books (and creates a couple more for book 3...). I've been sharing some snippets from Dragon Spy, and this one picks up right after last week's.

To Know a Dragon Spy, Dragons of Ivria book 2, is available now in ebook and paperback. This book has been a long time coming, and I know so many of you have been waiting patiently since To Love the Dragon King came out almost three years ago. I hate that you had to wait so long for the second book in this series. If you subscribe to my newsletter, you know long covid has ruined every plan and schedule I tried to make while writing this book. It has been incredibly frustrating, but I'm absolutely thrilled to have this book out in the world and into your hands.

To Know a Dragon Spy picks up not long after the end of To Love the Dragon King. In fact, it overlaps with the very end of the book. Lysander and Sascha's wedding is fast approaching, but threats to the king and his family and kingdom still exist and hang like a cloud over the celebrations. Felix, prince and spy, has vowed to himself that he will find the last of the conspirators plotting against the people he loves, but Alan, commander of the King's Guard, is as suspicious of Felix as of anyone else and his suspicions constantly get in Felix's way. I don't generally write enemies-to-lovers, but this book is as close as I get—let's call it enemies-to-lovers-ish. It also turned into much more of a slow burn than I expected (Felix and Alan took forever to get their act together!). But I ended up really loving this story and I hope you do too.
​

Today I have some Pride Month book recs with blue, purple, and pink covers. And if you missed the previous two posts: red and orange and yellow and green.

I'm late getting started sharing book recs for Pride Month—getting ready for the release of my new book has kept me busy, but I'm going to catch up now. I had fun making a rainbow of book recs last year, so I'm going to try to do that again this year. Today, I have books with covers in shades of red and orange. I'm making judgment calls on some of these colors, so just go with me!
