Happy cover reveal to the AMAZING @authorjessielliott 💚 Please be sure to buy her book and check out the first book, Twisted Fate! TWISTED GIFT by @authorjessielliott, coming September 21, 2018! Synopsis: Being the new leader of the light fae really puts a dent in your post-grad plans. Aurora, once a snarky business major, struggles to adjust to fae life—and the diet of human energy that comes with it. A change made worse by the overwhelming ability to feel the emotions of everyone around her, especially when she can barely manage her own. Agreeing to work with her dark fae counterpart, Tristan, in an attempt to bring peace between their people is a painful reminder of how strong they are together. Even still, Aurora fights the urge to keep her distance. She needs to be sure what she feels for him is real, and not a result of the former light fae leader’s manipulation as a part of his plan to eliminate Tristan. Aurora thought she’d encountered the worst thing since early morning lectures when she stumbled into the world of the fae. She’s about to find out that they may not be the most twisted creatures out there.

Fall is my favorite time of the year not only for the aesthetics but for my writing. There’s a spellbinding twist in the air, spurring me to write, create, & let my spooky self fly!

Happy Saturday! 💚 This has been a crazy week with zero energy for writing. I gave myself a pass on creating, instead focusing on self care and kindness. I’m refreshed and ready to write today!
