Merch and WBRR updates

Hey everyone!

It has been a hectic month around here. There has been so much happening behind the scenes with all my books and upcoming events, and trying to juggle two releases at the same time with all the marketing has been its own special kind of chaos. BUT the good news is that I have a lot of sneak peeks for you in this newsletter.

I know I’ve been teasing merch for what feels like forever, so I’m very happy to finally show you the gorgeous designs Mia (@ardentlybookishdesigns) has created for me. She absolutely nailed the vibe, and I’m a little bit obsessed with how everything turned out.

I’ve been trialling the t-shirt prints, and they have definitely passed the test so far. The quality is great, the colours look perfect, and they’ve survived the washing machine without falling apart, which was my biggest fear. I also already have tote bags printed for upcoming events, and I’m working on getting everything ready to go live on my website as well. It’s taken a lot longer than expected, mostly because I’m picky and want everything to look perfect, but we’re getting there. I’m really excited for you all to finally get your hands on it.

And if you’re attending Burton Book Bash this Sunday, you’ll be able to grab the small-town romance and Hallow’s End tote bags early.

General Admission tickets are still available and FREE!

This month’s author spotlights include two incredible romance authors and one fantasy author I think you’re all going to love.

Now for the exciting part. I can finally show you the hardcover and deluxe edition covers for When Blood Runs Red. I’ve been sitting on these for months and trying very hard not to accidentally post them early. Some of you may have already caught a glimpse if you’ve looked through my event pre-order forms or browsed my website, but now you get the full reveal right here.

Pre-orders are now open on my website.

Both of these hardcovers will only be available through pre-order and will remain event exclusives for 2026 here in the UK.

If you are in the US or international, you can place your orders through Crafty Bookstore instead.

I’ll be revealing more of the inside layout and all the freebies over the next few months. You may have already seen the creature illustrations on my Instagram, which will accompany three journal entries in the deluxe edition. I’m hoping to get an early proof in January so I can show everything in more detail. I’m just waiting for the final proofread to be finished.

And if you want to read When Blood Runs Red early, keep your eyes peeled for ARC applications next month!

Book Three of the Hallow’s End Series

Kind of a Big Feeling is a friends-to-lovers romcom full of bad timing, messy feelings, holiday chaos, and the slowest of slow burns. Perfect for fans of early 2000s movies, golden retriever boys in crisis, and the girl who always has it together—until him. Dual POV, first person narrative.
