hi hello i just finished the fake divination offense and i absolutely adored it and now i am super invested in the hellhounds i'm afraid... can you maybe share a random fact about each of my babies darian, marlow and aaron? i need to know more about them like i physically need it

thank you!!

darian was originally supposed to be a character in RIVAL WIZARDS. he was part of a bigger friend group that seb/orok grew up with, but it just didn't work; it was always supposed to be seb and orok against the world. and darian was also originally a necromancer bard who creeped orok out all the time (the zombie seb leaves in the lab at the beginning of the book? he mentions a guy in the necromancy lab; that character was darian until i had to cut him and their whole extended friend group).

marlow's subtitle rings/earrings are something i think about all. the. time. and i finally put them in a book because my life and the lives of so many ppl would be so much easier if every human came with subtitles

aaron was originally just another player on the hellhounds, until i had a friend read the book to check my sports terminology (shout out kristen simmons, ily). she mentioned that a sport mirroring football would have a team captain, so aaron got promoted.

Okay so bel sings a Taylor swift song so obviously she is still a singer in this universe. My question is then if Rawball is kind of the “replacement” for American football in society is Taylor still with Travis? Is Travis Kelce a pro rawball player? Is bel is a fan of Taylor does he have a parasocial bond with her as they’re both dating pro raw ballers?

100% yes to all

hello thank you for writing the fake divination offense that shit SMACKS and you deserve a nobel prize in literature. my question: what are seb and thio's go-to karaoke songs?

aw shucks ☺️

seb's go-to karaoke song would be something ridiculous like this one

thio simply would not do karaoke. someone must be the Responsible Parent in the friend group and by god it's him

I'm about halfway through Fake Divination Offense! I LOVE IT! I LOVE ALEXO. I CONTINUE TO LOVE OROK. IT'S EVERYTHING.

however,

This book does take place in a modern day AU, as shown by Chappell Roan being a reference! Which means that this also takes place in a magic world that has MEGAN THEE STALLION IN IT (istg this is going somewhere, I promise.)

Alexo is a dancer... does he like doing hip-hop routines?

IS THERE A VIDEO ON ALEXO'S PHONE SOMEWHERE OF HIM IN SOME CORNER OF THE CHEER TEAMS PRACTICE ROOM DANCING TO 'MAMUSHI'????

WHERE WAS HE WHEN 'BIG OLE FREAK' RELEASED??? IT BETTER HAVE BEEN IN THE DANCE STUDIO.

You probably do not care about this at all but the concept of Alexo existing in the era of todays bad bitch rap HAS ME BURSTINGGGGGG‼️

alexo dancing to bad bitch rap would make orok ascend

I just finished The Fake Divination Offense and I absolutely loved it! What an amazing duology you crafted with Orok and Seb. The learning and healing and found family, it was just such an incredible journey with these two characters. I loved the nee side characters too and of course our demon twink Alexo is absolute perfection.

I know for plot purposes it wouldn't have worked well here, but have you considered writing dual POV? I know it's not everyone's thing and people's preferences vary around this. I just think it could be fun. Plus double the yearning and all that.

♥️ thank you!!

i've thought about writing dual POV for my romances, it just hasn't felt like the story needs it yet. i really love the unreliable narrator angle we get through single POV, and that it lets the non-POV character have a secret that the MC is trying to figure out alongside the reader. for now, my forthcoming books are all single POV!

except for JOYFULLY EVER AFTER, which has iris's POV, loch's, hex's, AND coal's!!

[sararaasch]

I knew reading your new book would get me in the feeling. Oh but it's so much worse than I thought. I have seen most people connect to Orok because of the religious aspect. The conversation on strength and what it means to be strong and not be able to see it!!!! Oh I'm crying. 😭

I am not even done reading it yet but thank you so much for making this. I really needed a story like this and I didn't even know it.🧡🩷

Hi Sara!! Just confirming, is Orok’s jersey number #64? 👀

yes indeed!

[sararaasch]

i just read seb and thio‘s story for the 3rd time and i cANT BE NORMAL ABOUT THEM. random thing that might be spoilery i guess? is there any hints/foreshadowing to orok and alexo in the entanglement of rival wizards?

thank you!!

not too spoiler, but the only foreshadowing for alexo in RW was towards the end, when the cult of galaxrien was briefly mentioned in one of the news alerts. but during the time when much of RW takes place, alexo isn't even in philly, so his/orok's paths never crossed.

[ma-lark-ey]

so like legally speaking it was only a matter of time until i made trw/fdo fake tweets. it was inevitable.

a headcanon that halfway made it into this post is bel fully just reposts random images he finds and calls it a day.

also Orok has two accounts bc he’s a ~public figure~ or whatever. he’s barely pr trained but he tries.

me explaining the plot of RIVAL WIZARDS:

[sararaasch]

you can't just write a spicy book about fantasy football ➡️

“Sweetheart,” I gasp, stroking his side, up to his armpit, back down. “So perfect for me. You’re dancing, do you know that? You dance while we fuck. It’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen, you writhing on me like my own performance. Dance for me, [redacted]. Make yourself feel good on me.”

one week of THE FAKE DIVINATION OFFENSE!! have you read it yet?

Sports romance gets a Dungeons & Dragons makeover with the next book in the Magic and Romance series that follows half-giant Orok, forced into a PR relationship with a feisty, fan-favorite cheerleader. Orok Monroe: Half-giant. Rawball defensive tank on the Philadelphia Hellhounds. Follower of Urzoth...only Orok’s tired of following the god of aggression. Alexo Warden: Cheerleader. Human? A dancer with a stadium’s worth of secrets. When Orok saves Alexo at a bar, fans go feral for the star athlete protecting the pint-size dude-in-distress. The Hellhounds propose that Orok and Alexo start a PR relationship to put a positive spin on Orok’s god. Orok is set to refuse and renounce Urzoth—but that wouldn’t let him see Alexo again. So, like a sap, he agrees. As Orok tries to drop the fake part of their fake-relationship, Alexo’s dangerous truths emerge. To save him, Orok will have to sacrifice far more than his divine association.
