The audiobook for Fated to be Monsters is almost here!!! Check out the retail sample right now on.soundcloud.com/c56rJZTSUCBf...

Don't read into every single lyric, but the titles, vibes, and some lyrics channel a moment in the book. Here's a hint, the progression of the playlist matches the progression of the story 😉 I wonder what theories people might come up with 🤔 Listen for yourself! open.spotify.com/playlist/59F...

It was so great being on the Turn the Page podcast!! Thanks for having me!! #romancrlandia

Fated to be Monsters by @jvontobelwrites.bsky.social “Do you think I like being treated like this? My name is a curse. My bloodline is a stain. I thought if I could beat a Nobil at their own game, prove that I am better than the best of you, it would pull the wool...” buff.ly/pOTm4Xk #booksky

Fated to be Monsters by @jvontobelwrites.bsky.social “And what does the Queen gain by showing me up?” Anca asked. “Keller has hated her family for years. A friendly Household on top would let her bully the Nobils into obedience, given enough time.” buff.ly/pOTm4Xk #booksky #romantasy

Fated to be Monsters by @jvontobelwrites.bsky.social They were too late. The smoke trails rising in the distance made that obvious. Anca was already beyond her authority, marching into another Nobil’s territory to hunt a monster that wasn’t her responsibility. buff.ly/pOTm4Xk #booksky

Fated to be Monsters by @jvontobelwrites.bsky.social More villagers emerged from their homes as word spread. Tense jaws and worried looks greeted her as she rode into town: a Nobil of a Hunting Household and hand of the Throne. buff.ly/pOTm4Xk #booksky

Fated to be Monsters by @jvontobelwrites.bsky.social “Don’t play to their excuses,” Chertse snapped his head. “There are ways to avoid a Shadow beast without putting your entire town to the flame. Reckless. Stupid. These low people surprise me more every day.” buff.ly/pOTm4Xk #booksky

Fated to be Monsters by @jvontobelwrites.bsky.social Eugen tried to stand, but his wounds brought him back down with a wince. Every muscle pulled tight, like they were trying to tie themselves into knots. buff.ly/pOTm4Xk #booksky #romantasy #mustread

Fated to be Monsters by @jvontobelwrites.bsky.social “What sort of future would we have then?” she asked. “Trust the Queen will spontaneously give up her grip on power? Make the Households behave so you and I can have some sort of life in a kinder world?” buff.ly/pOTm4Xk #booksky

Fated to be Monsters by @jvontobelwrites.bsky.social Beating hearts and sweaty brows, gasping for breath as they chased something through the woods. Entwined fingers, a chance to cut loose and forget the stress for even a few minutes. She was not proud of the thought. buff.ly/pOTm4Xk #booksky

Fated to be Monsters by @jvontobelwrites.bsky.social A wolf-like creature rose onto its hind legs as it tried to scent them. Eugen leaned down to her, watching the same creature. He smelled smoky. Maybe just a bit of orange or was that lemon? buff.ly/pOTm4Xk #booksky #romantasy

#writesky #booksky #amwriting I need to choose a title in the next 3 days. I have ideas....but I don't like them. Send me your wisdom on titles you fell in love with.

Join me and @kmdavidsonbooks.bsky.social on April 9 to launch Fated to be Monsters. We're talking all things Romantasy, monster hunting, and we might just give some books away for free too. #romancelandia #bookssky #romantasybooks

I only have two modes as a writer: the complete lack of motivation and hyper fixation. Pick one. #writesky #amwriting

Eugen Furloc on a bad day. If he could give up his Blood Flame Magic, he might be the kind of man our FMC would fall for #fatedtobemonsters #romancelandia #characterart #romantasy #enemiestolovers

#characterart is up over on 📷 Will post here tomorrow!

My newsletter this morning had some teasers for my audiobook and character art 🤩 next month (release month) is going to be so crazy! #booksky

Officially checking out #fable and I'm so impressed! This is so COOL why didn't I look into this sooner?

I'm appearing at #luckyinlombard and have two VIP tickets I'm giving away! #readerfair #booksigning #giveaway #freetickets #authorevent #chicagobookstores

This started last night. ZERO idea what to do and then I hyper fixate when I figure it out #amwriting #writesky #romancewriter #sequel

Did the "where my lore started" thing on IG. Reminded me that Digimon is better than Pokemon. Everytime you disagree with me, it makes me stronger

Busy year ahead March- Speaking at a workshop & Books and Brews Signing April- Lucky in Lombard & Launch Day June- maybe Pack in the Readers July- Books in Bloom September- Printer's Row Lit Fest #booksigning #authorlife

Just got contacted about a speaking event locally 😁 that nerdy worldbuilding talk is paying off #writerslife #authorslife #worldbuilding

I keep having dreams that involve Voldemort in some manner and I don't know what to make of that. No one else from the HP books. Just him 🤔

Look, I know Yarros is gonna keep the next books in Violet's POV (more Tairn yay!) But I'm more invested in this Dain & Sloane theory than I expected #onyxstorm

🥹 It is always so humbling to hear someone praise the book you've put so much work into. #bookrec #romancelandia #romantasybooks #romantasy

My wife and I have an ongoing argument about spaghetti. Me: when you say spaghetti, you mean just the noodle. Her: when you say spaghetti, you mean noodles in red sauce. I'm not winning, I recognize I'm off base, but I'm not wrong either.

#audiobook cover is done and production will begin soon! Now I've got some auditions to sort through! #romanceauthor #romantasy

The rubber meets the road here. Publicity queries, ARCs are out, reader events imminent, definitely feeling that #authorlife
