Preorder THE COLOR OF TIME and Get Freebies + Audiobook Giveaway


Dear readers,

The Color of Time is now available for preorders across multiple platforms in ebook and print!

If you live in the US, you can preorder the book from many vendors, including your local bookstore or directly from my publisher, Shiraki Press.

For my international readers, the ebook is available on most of the usual platforms where you get your ebooks, and the paperback should be available on your local Amazon website and/or a few other vendors.

Preorders are important for many reasons, so if you are excited about this book and plan on buying it, please consider purchasing it before its release to support my writing đź’›


Preorder Campaign

Still not convinced to preorder The Color of Time? What about a little incentive? Readers preordering the book in ebook or paperback from any vendor anywhere in the world where USPS sends mail will receive a postcard-sized art print, a bookmark, a temporary tattoo, and a signed bookplate for those buying the paperback.

Everyone will also get a mystery gift, which could be a sticker, a funny door knob hanger, a magnet... it'll be a surprise!

Fill out the form linked below to receive your freebies.

For my readers outside of the US, in case you want the paperback and it isn't available for preorders (unfortunately, it may be the case), I will extend this campaign a few days after release for you, so no worries.


Audiobook Giveaway 🎧

Who wants a free audiobook? I'm running a giveaway on the Storygraph from today to April 20 for a chance to win a free audiobook of A Legacy of Blood and Bone, my debut novel that released last year at Row House Publishing and Spotify.

I also received a lovely trade review from Booklist, which I'm copying below because I'm so very proud of it (and it's my first trade review ever!).

When the Sterraux patriarch suddenly dies, his first-born daughter Aubeline inherits the Countess title. In an unexpected turn, her brother Renan contests the claim. This move threatens not only Aubeline’s future but also the guardianship of her niece. Working with her nieces’ newly hired private teacher, Vinnie, Aubeline strives to cultivate allies. As the women navigate the difficult succession crisis, they find love in unexpected places.

Abecassis’ reimagined “Belle Époque” France is the perfect setting for the tension-filled family drama. The lyrical narration emphasizes the sapphic slow-burn romance, which provides a melodic backdrop for the epic world-building.

The introspection of the main characters is emotionally performed by Lynch and Lawrence, bringing the reader deep into their hearts. The changing narrators add an appealing tonal quality to the intricately inventive magical system and historical details.

Great for fans of Alix E. Harrow, Shannon Fay, and Freya Marske.

He's dealing with a sudden, very bad bout of feline pancreatitis and his prognosis is guarded; it's a day by day assessment. He's been stable and pushing through it so far, so fingers crossed he gets better with supportive care and time. But he's very sick, so my spouse and I are readying ourselves for the...
