The book is Scoreless Game, and it features Nisha and Elias. There should be a cover and blurb in the back of Rookie Mistake for it. We recently finished drafting it, so it should be out sometime in the spring. (We still have editing to do.)(less)

Twisted Wishes Paperbacks

Well, I’ve pressed publish on the Twisted Wishes paperbacks! They’ll be out there, soon. When I was discussing cover concepts with LC Chase, I has mentioned seeing some floral covers for rockstar romances, and I liked the different concept. Classy. She came up with two treatments, and I ended up loving and using both.

You’ve seen the covers for the ebooks. Here are the covers for the paperbacks!

“I take it he was in the closet?"

"He might as well have been in Narnia.”
Anna Zabo, Takeover

“And if we're talking flaws - I get a kick out of flogging people, then fucking them."

Warmth ran up Sam's spine. "That's a flaw?"

Michael grinned. "Only to some.”
Anna Zabo, Takeover

“Brian’s voice was smooth, almost conversational, except for its deep tone. “Vanilla comes from the seed pod of an orchid. Hard to grow, hard to get.”

Anna Oh man, I see the Marie Kondo meme has hit GR.

Folks, she didn't say "keep only 30 books". That's what she personally found that she kept. The idea is to, you know, curate your collection and give away/donate/sell what you don't want/need (for your value of want and need).

That's...normal. It's part of decluttering! What the heck is so awful about that? Heck, I have made raffle baskets for charity out of books I've picked up at conventions and later decided I'm never going to read!

She's not a cow. She's not a monster. FFS.

Nancy Hi Anna, I’ve read and enjoyed quite a few of your books Just discovered and finished Close Quarter. Liked it a lot. Will there be more because it read like there would, maybe Vasil’s story? Just bought the short prequel today.

Anna Hey there! For the readers out there, I just want to say that it's ABSOLUTELY OKAY to judge whether or not you want to read a book by its blurb and shelve is accordingly on GR.

Your GR account is yours.

Also, I've had people love my writing and nope out of books because of content or theme. THAT'S OKAY, TOO! I nope out of books for a variety of reasons myself. I don't get offended. Authors shouldn't.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Readers are allowed to react to a book or blurb however they react to it. It's your right as a reader.

Anyone who tells you differently is full of it.

Nancy Anna, thank you for accepting my friend request. Have a wonderful writing day!
